- IntroductionResearch indicates gender differences in functional performance at advanced ages, but little is known about their impact on longevity for men and women.ObjectiveTo derive a set of motor function factors from a battery of functional performance measures and examine their associations with mortality, incorporating possible gender interactions.MethodAnalyses were performed on the longitudinal Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging (SATSA) including twenty-four assessments of motor function up to six times over a 19-year period. Three motor factors were derived from several factor analyses; fine motor, balance/upper strength, and flexibility. A latent growth curve model was used to capture longitudinal age changes in the motor factors and generated estimates of intercept at age 70 (I), rates of change before (S1) and after age 70 (S2) for each factor. Cox regression models were used to determine how gender in interaction with the motor factors was related to mortality.ResultsFemales demonstrated lower functional performance in all motor functions relative to men. Cox regression survival analyses demonstrated that both balance/upper strength, and fine motor function were significantly related to mortality. Gender specific analyses revealed that this was true for women only. For men, none of the motor factors were related to mortality.ConclusionWomen demonstrated more difficulties in all functioning facets, and only among women were motor functioning (balance/upper strength and fine motor function) associated with mortality. These results provide evidence for the importance of considering motor functioning, and foremost observed gender differences when planning for individualized treatment and rehabilitation.

- AIM: To evaluate factors associated with parental separation during the parenthood transition.DESIGN: Prospective, longitudinal and explorative.METHODS: This is a quantitative longitudinal study of N784 subjects throughout the pregnancy journey with multivariate regression analysis of survey data derived from three validated measurement scales; the Sense of Coherence scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and the Perceived Quality of the Dyadic Relationship scale conducted 2014-2016.RESULTS: N17 participants separated at 2 years. Parental separation was significantly greater for those women and partners with low or changing sense of coherence, perceived social support and perceived quality of the parental-couple relationship indexes. Partners with a change in sense of coherence (p: .003) and perceived quality of the parental-couple relationship (p: .020) between 1 week and 2 years were at greater risk for separation. Attending professional preparatory support with a partner for women (p: .013) and attending the "Inspirational Lecture" for partners (p: .046) were, to a lesser extent, associated with a risk of parental separation.

- IntroductionResearch indicate that cognitive impairment might be related to hospitalization, but little is known about these effects over time.ObjectiveTo assess cognitive change before and after hospitalization among older adults in a population-based longitudinal study with up to 25 years of follow-up.MethodA longitudinal study on 828 community living men and women aged 50–86 from the Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Ageing (SATSA) were linked to The Swedish National Inpatient Register. Up to 8 assessments of cognitive performance (general cognitive ability, verbal, spatial/fluid, memory, and processing speed) from 1986 to 2010 were available. Latent growth curve modelling was used to assess the association between cognitive performance and hospitalization including spline models to analyse cognitive trajectories pre- and post-hospitalization.ResultsA total of 735 persons (89%) had at least one hospital admission during the follow-up. Mean age at first hospitalization was 70.2 (±9.3) years. Persons who were hospitalized exhibited a lower mean level of cognitive performance in general ability, processing speed and spatial/fluid ability compared with those who were not hospitalized. The two-slope models revealed steeper cognitive decline before hospitalization than after among those with at least one hospitalization event, as compared to non-hospitalized persons who showed steeper cognitive decline after the centering age of 70 years.ConclusionsPersons being hospitalized in late life have lower cognitive performance across all assessed domains. The results indicate that the main decline occurs before the hospitalization, and not after. This might indicate that when you get treatment you also benefit cognitively.

- Background: Hospitalization among older people is common and associated with risk of adverse outcomes such as iatrogenic disorders and physical impairments. Knowledge about personal characteristics and social factors related to hospitalization is scarce. In order to understand which factors that are related to hospitalization risk, a prospective study with a multifactorial approach was conducted.Methods: In 2003, 794 Swedish persons (mean age 70.1 years, 60.7% females) answered a postal questionnaire as a part of the population-based longitudinal Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging (SATSA). Participants were asked about physiological and psychological health, personality and socio economic factors. During seven years of follow-up, information on hospitalizations and the associated diagnoses were obtained from the Swedish National Inpatient Register.Results: Preliminary results show that 484 persons (61.0%) had at least one hospital admission during the follow-up period. The most common causes of admission were cardiovascular diseases and tumors. Cox proportional hazard regression model controlling for age, sex and dependency within twin pairs, showed that higher locus of control (HR=0.89, 95% CI=0.83-0.96), marital status (widow/widower (HR=0.64, 95 % CI=0.50-0.81) and unmarried (HR=0.67, 95% CI=0.50-0.90)), and support from friends (HR=0.93, 95% CI=0.87-0.99) were associated with lower risk of hospitalization, while greater numbers of diseases (HR=1.11, 95% CI=1.03-1.20) and negative life events (HR=1.16, 95% CI=1.00-1.34) were associated with increased risk of hospitalization.Discussion: Our results show that both personal and social factors were important for the risk of hospitalization. This might be used in future interventions for understanding health care utilization.

- The aims of the present study were to: (1) describe and compare individual characteristics of hospitalized and not hospitalized community living persons, and (2) to determine factors that are associated with hospitalization risk over time. We conducted a prospective study with a multifactorial approach based on the population-based longitudinal Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging (SATSA). A total of 772 Swedes (mean age at baseline 69.7 years, range 46–103, 59.8% females) answered a postal questionnaire about physical and psychological health, personality and socioeconomic factors. During nine years of follow-up, information on hospitalizations and associated diagnoses were obtained from national registers. Results show that 484 persons (63%) had at least one hospital admission during the follow-up period. The most common causes of admission were cardiovascular diseases (25%) and tumors (22%). Cox proportional hazard regression models controlling for age, sex and dependency within twin pairs, showed that higher age (HR = 1.02, p < 0.001) and more support from relatives (HR = 1.09, p = 0.028) were associated with increased risk of hospitalization, while marital status (unmarried (HR = 0.75, p = 0.033) and widow/widower (HR = 0.69, p < 0.001)) and support from friends (HR = 0.93, p = 0.029) were associated with lower risk of hospitalization. Social factors were important for hospitalization risk even when medical factors were controlled for in the analyses. Number of diseases was not a risk in the final regression model. Hospitalization risk was also different for women and men and within different age groups. We believe that these results might be used in future interventions targeting health care utilization.
