We aimed to determine the association between the duration of widowhood and cognition decline. We compared the decline observed in widowed people compared with married, single, or separated persons using the scores obtained in the cognitive assessment of memory, learning, and visual exploration by adults and older adults in Mexico. The Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS) provides the base for this paper. This study is an analysis of the fourth data wave (2015), except for the independent variable: marital status. Marital status was built longitudinally with information from the four surveys (2001, 2003, 2012, and 2015). The sample comprised 6898 adults aged 50 and over. Cognition was assessed with an adapted Cross-Cultural Cognitive Examination (CCCE). Confounders include sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age, schooling, self-perception of economic status, and whether the individual worked or not), multimorbidity, functionality, support networks, and psychological characteristics. Of the total sample, 4094 (59.3%) were women. The mean age was 70.86 years (SD = 7.4). The baseline of the study is 2001. In 2001, 8.7% (n = 600) were widows or widowers. People widowed by 2001 scored -0.158 points in cognition while divorced participants scored - 0.095 points.

The study aims to assess the prevalence of food insecurity and malnutrition and to investigate the association between food insecurity, sociodemographic characteristics, and malnutrition among Indian older adults. Data for 28,004 older adults (60 + years) was extracted from Wave-1 of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India, 2017-18. Bivariate analysis was used for prevalence estimates. Multinomial logistic regression provided relative risk ratios (RRR) to determine the association. About 45% of older adults were food insecure and nearly half were malnourished (underweight - 26.7%, overweight - 22.2%). Overweight was widespread in southern, western, and northern India, while underweight and food insecurity were widespread in central, eastern, and north-eastern India. Food insecure older adults were significantly more likely to be underweight (mild: RRR = 1.105, 95% CI = 1.038-1.176; severe: RRR = 1.327, 95% CI = 1.186-1.485). Rather than severe food insecurity, those with moderate food insecurity have the least likelihood of being overweight. Being the oldest, male, widowed, divorced/separated/deserted, having fewer years of schooling, living in a ST or SC household, and in rural areawere associated with higher risk of being underweight; while their other counterparts were of being overweight. No association was found between working status and underweight, meanwhile the non-working older adults were less likely to be overweight (RRR = 0.804, 95% CI = 0.744-0.868). Underweight is strongly linked to food insecurity. In terms of food insecurity and malnutrition, the most vulnerable categories identified include oldest old, widowed, divorced/separated/deserted, SC, ST, economically weaker, and persons without or with only a few years of formal education.
该研究旨在评估印度老年人中粮食不安全和营养不良的普遍程度,并调查粮食不安全、社会人口特征和营养不良之间的关联。从 2017-18 年印度纵向老龄化研究第 1 波中提取了 28004 名老年人(60 岁以上)的数据。二元分析用于估算患病率。多项式逻辑回归提供了相对风险比 (RRR),以确定相关性。约 45% 的老年人缺乏粮食安全,近一半的老年人营养不良(体重不足 - 26.7%,超重 - 22.2%)。印度南部、西部和北部普遍存在超重现象,而印度中部、东部和东北部则普遍存在体重不足和食物无保障现象。食物无保障的老年人体重不足的可能性明显更高(轻度:RRR = 1.105,95% CI = 1.038-1.176;重度:RRR = 1.327,95% CI = 1.038-1.176):RRR = 1.327,95% CI = 1.186-1.485)。与严重粮食不安全相比,中度粮食不安全者超重的可能性最小。年龄最大、男性、丧偶、离异/分居/被遗弃、受教育年限较少、生活在在册部落或在册种姓家庭以及农村地区的人体重不足的风险较高;而其他相应的人体重超重的风险较高。工作状况与体重不足之间没有关联,而不工作的老年人超重的可能性较低(RRR = 0.804,95% CI = 0.744-0.868)。体重不足与粮食不安全密切相关。在粮食不安全和营养不良方面,最易受伤害的类别包括高龄、丧偶、离异/分居/被遗弃、在册种姓、在册部落、经济能力较弱以及未受过或仅受过几年正规教育的人。
