Book excerpt: Summary Introduction Chronic pain is frequently reported in older adults and the prevalence will only increase with the rising number of older adults as a result of the baby-boom generation. The aim of our studies was to clarify the association between pain and several domains of cognitive functioning in older adults, which may shed light on potentially modifiable risk factors for cognitive impairment in aging. Pain and cognition cross-sectionally We found that pain severity was associated with impaired memory, executive functioning, and general cognitive performance and pain interference (with daily activities) with impaired attention, memory, executive functioning and general cognitive performance, after adjustments for age, gender, race and education. However, many of these associations were not statistically significant anymore after additional adjustments for chronic conditions and psychiatric medications. The association between pain interference and memory and general cognitive performance in older adults persisted, even after adjusting for demographics, chronic conditions, behaviors, and psychiatric medication. We also found that the observed relationships between pain and cognitive performance were partly explained by the effect of pain on attentional resources. Therefore we focused on the association between pain and attention in the next chapters. First we found that the Test of Everyday Attention (TEA), which was only validated to measure attention in adults 18-80 years old, is also a valuable tool to measure attention in the very old (chapter 3). However, the Visual Elevator Test, which measures the domain of attentional switching, was the most challenging test for these older participants. In chapter 4 we showed that higher pain severity was associated with poorer scores in measures of selective and sustained attention. Pain interference scores were also significantly inversely associated with selective attention.

Book excerpt: The current study was part of a larger study where overarching purpose was to design a daily measure of everyday cognitive performance. The current investigation examined the extent to which self-report pain was related to cognitive performance in a sample of 148 community dwelling older adults (M = 73 years old, SD = 6.84). A multidimensional battery was used to assess socio-demographics, physical health (e.g. self-report pain, self-report physical health), mental health (e.g. negative affect, life-event stress, and daily stress), and cognitive functioning (e.g. short-term memory, processing speed, inductive reasoning, and working memory) at pretest and over 8 occasions. The direct relationship between self-report pain and cognition was examined as well as potential moderators and mediators of the pain-cognition relationship both at the between- and within-person levels. At the between-person level, self-reported pain was found to be significantly related to processing speed, where high pain was associated with slower reaction time. At the within-person level self-reported pain was found to be significantly related to working memory, where on days when self-reported pain was higher than an individualÃ¢â'¬â"¢s average, their working memory performance suffered. Within-person self-reported pain X age interactions were found for short-term memory, processing speed, and working memory. Additionally, negative affect and stress were found to moderate the pain-cognition relationship. The strength of the pain-cognition relationship is best understood by examining moderating factors such as age, stress, and negative affect. Furthermore, the handful of significant interactions at the within-person level suggest that the pain-cognition relationship is dynamic and should not be assessed at only one time point.

This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain and cognitive impairment are prevalent in older adults, often co-occurring and conferring detrimental consequences. Neuropsychological evaluation is commonly employed in older adults with suspected cognitive impairment, underscoring the importance of pain identification in this context. However, identification of pain in older adults based on self-report presents challenges that often lead to its under-detection. Alternative methods of pain assessment, such as observer ratings and video-based automatic coding of facial biomarkers of pain, may help ensure accurate identification of pain when it is present, in turn facilitating interpretation of neuropsychological evaluation results. The current study examined pain in the context of virtual neuropsychological assessment in 111 community-dwelling older adults, first seeking to validate the use of automatic coding of biomarkers of pain using Open DBMv2.0 software. Measures of pain, including self-report of acute pain and past 24-hour chronic pain, observer ratings of pain, and automatic coding of pain analyzed through digital phenotyping software while participants underwent neuropsychological testing were compared. Prediction of performance by mode of pain detection (self-report, observer ratings, automatic coding of pain) was also examined. Consistent with expectations, self-reported acute and chronic pain were associated with poorer performance on several neuropsychological tests. In contrast, observer ratings yielded results that did not support hypotheses; however, methodological concerns common to observer rating assessment tools appeared to have impacted findings. Though automatic coding of pain was significantly associated with performance on neuropsychological tests, it did not predict self-report of pain or performance on neuropsychological measures beyond the influence of demographic factors and psychological symptoms. Associations between self-reported pain and test performance highlight the need for pain assessment in this context. Correlations between automatic coding of pain and test performance suggest a potential use of this pain measurement strategy that warrants investigation in future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time now, the study of cognitive development has been far and away the most active discipline within developmental psychology. Although there would be much disagreement as to the exact proportion of papers published in developmental journals that could be considered cognitive, 50% seems like a conservative estimate. Hence, a series of scholarly books to be devoted to work in cognitive development is especially appropriate at this time. The Springer Series in Cognitive Development contains two basic types of books, namely, edited collections of original chapters by several authors, and original volumes written by one author or a small group of authors. The flagship for the Springer Series is a serial publication of the "advances" type, carrying the subtitle Progress in Cognitive Development Research. Volumes in the Progress sequence are strongly thematic, in that each is limited to some well-defined domain of cognitive-developmental research (e. g. , logical and mathematical development, semantic development). All Progress volumes are edited collections. Editors of such books, upon consultation with the Series Editor, may elect to have their works published either as contributions to the Progress sequence or as separate volumes. All books written by one author or a small group of authors will be published as separate volumes within the series. A fairly broad definition of cognitive development is being used in the selection of books for this series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most Americans, staying "mentally sharp" as they age is a very high priority. Declines in memory and decision-making abilities may trigger fears of Alzheimer's disease or other neurodegenerative diseases. However, cognitive aging is a natural process that can have both positive and negative effects on cognitive function in older adults - effects that vary widely among individuals. At this point in time, when the older population is rapidly growing in the United States and across the globe, it is important to examine what is known about cognitive aging and to identify and promote actions that individuals, organizations, communities, and society can take to help older adults maintain and improve their cognitive health. Cognitive Aging assesses the public health dimensions of cognitive aging with an emphasis on definitions and terminology, epidemiology and surveillance, prevention and intervention, education of health professionals, and public awareness and education. This report makes specific recommendations for individuals to reduce the risks of cognitive decline with aging. Aging is inevitable, but there are actions that can be taken by individuals, families, communities, and society that may help to prevent or ameliorate the impact of aging on the brain, understand more about its impact, and help older adults live more fully and independent lives. Cognitive aging is not just an individual or a family or a health care system challenge. It is an issue that affects the fabric of society and requires actions by many and varied stakeholders. Cognitive Aging offers clear steps that individuals, families, communities, health care providers and systems, financial organizations, community groups, public health agencies, and others can take to promote cognitive health and to help older adults live fuller and more independent lives. Ultimately, this report calls for a societal commitment to cognitive aging as a public health issue that requires prompt action across many sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.
