SUMMARY:PSC Postdoc Practice Job Talk: Shane Burns
DESCRIPTION:Shane Burns \nThursday, October 10th at 1:30 pm to 3 PM in room 1450\nOlder Adult Disability in a Rapidly Aging WorldAbstract:Objective: Functional limitations are prevalent among aging demographics, especially women. Structural and health factors, which vary worldwide, influence rates of functional limitations. Yet, gender disparities in functional limitation remain unclear in a global context.\nMethods: We use 2018 data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) international family of studies with respondents ages 50-64 and (n=87,479) and 65-89 (n=92,145) to investigate gender disparities in large muscle functional limitation (LMFL) across 10 countries/regions using mixed effects logistic regression, with special attention to structural indicators of inequality and health.\nResults: Among both women and men, LMFL was generally higher in China, India, Mexico, United States, and Baltic States than in England, Scandinavia, Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe. The gender disparity in LMFL gradually declined at older ages in India, China, Mexico, and United States, while this disparity gradually increased at older ages throughout Europe. Among middle age respondents, the greater risk of LMFL for women in countries/regions with a high gender inequality index (GII) was no longer observed after accounting for comorbidities. Among older respondents, a lower risk of LMFL for women in countries/regions with a high GII was not observed until accounting for comorbidities.\nDiscussion: Our findings suggest that rates of LMFL are higher in middle-income countries than high-income countries, especially among women, and in countries with a higher GII. In addition, consideration of comorbidities was integral to these relationships. Thus, national/regional contexts inform differential rates of functional limitation, particularly as it relates to gender.\nKeywords: comorbidities, disablement process, gender inequality, global aging, life courseJoin us at ISR, 426 Thompson St., Room 1450, or on Zoom:https://umich.zoom.us/j/91909642073 ( https://umich.zoom.us/j/91909642073 )Meeting ID: 919 0964 2073\nPasscode: 216075—One tap mobile\n+13052241968,,91909642073# US\n+13092053325,,91909642073# US—Dial by your location\n• +1 305 224 1968 US\n• +1 309 205 3325 US\n• +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n• +1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n• +1 646 931 3860 US\n• +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n• +1 386 347 5053 US\n• +1 507 473 4847 US\n• +1 564 217 2000 US\n• +1 669 444 9171 US\n• +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n• +1 689 278 1000 US\n• +1 719 359 4580 US\n• +1 253 205 0468 US\n• +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n• +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n• +1 360 209 5623 USMeeting ID: 919 0964 2073Find your local number: https://umich.zoom.us/u/acgz0dEKO4—Join by SIP\n• 91909642073@zoomcrc.com\n
