项目摘要

PROJECT ABSTRACT Older adults are one of the populations most vulnerable to COVID-19. The unprecedented economic disruption and social isolation caused by the pandemic may disproportionately cause long-lasting and potentially irreversible negative impacts to this at-risk group. The proposed research will focus on economic circumstances and social behaviors that affect the health and welfare of over 800 older adult participants and their ~400 middle-aged adult children. We will utilize the Family Transitions Project, that originally began as a study of the rural family response to the severe recession in the agricultural economy in the U.S. during the 1980s and continues to this day. Thus, we are uniquely positioned to examine the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals and families in the context of over 30 years of accumulated prospective data. The proposed work will assess how COVID-19-associated changes in economic and social circumstances impact the health and welfare of individuals across two generations of families. We propose to examine individual and family adjustment to economic circumstances and stressors that are affected by personal characteristics and life experiences, and make recommendations regarding new programs and social policies that increase resiliency of vulnerable populations in future crises. The goals of the parent grant are to systematically evaluate cognitive function in a normative aging population and assess its association with retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and proximal and cumulative economic and social stress, and to quantify how biological variables related to vascular risk factors (BMI, hypertension, smoking), as well as gender, moderate these associations. This supplement will enhance this work by addressing these questions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aims to be addressed using supplementary funds are: (1) Investigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of older adults and their middle-aged adult children. We will evaluate the extent to which COVID- 19-associated economic and social stressors, such as financial hardship and emotional distress, have impacted individuals’ health status, management of pre-existing chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes), behaviors that affect health (e.g., smoking, substance use, exercising), and cognitive functioning. (2) Investigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on family welfare across generations. We will assess the impact of economic and social stressors resulting from COVID-19 on social behaviors and family functioning between generations. During this time of crisis, we will examine the intergenerational transmission of economic circumstances, emotional well-being, and social behaviors (e.g. substance use) and assess the impact of COVID-19 stressors on family processes such as the quality of marital and parent- child relationships.

项目摘要老年人是最容易受到19日的人口之一。空前的经济由大流行引起的破坏和社会隔离可能会导致持久和潜在的不可逆转的负面影响对这一高危组。拟议的研究将重点影响800多名老年人的健康和福利的经济环境和社会行为参与者及其约400名中年成年子女。我们将利用家庭过渡项目，最初是作为对农村家庭对农业经济严重衰退的反应的研究在1980年代的美国，一直持续到今天。那就是我们独特地检查在超过30年的情况下积累的前瞻性数据。拟议的工作将评估共同19-19相关的变化经济和社会环境会影响两代人个人的健康和福利家庭。我们建议检查个人和家庭对经济环境的调整，受个人特征和生活经验影响并提出建议的压力源关注的新计划和社会政策，以提高未来脆弱人群的弹性危机。父母赠款的目标是系统地评估正常衰老的认知功能人口和评估其与残留神经纤维层厚度以及近端和累积的关联经济和社会压力，并量化生物学变量与血管危险因素的关系（BMI，高血压，吸烟）以及性别，以调节这些关联。这种补充将增强这项工作是通过在COVID-19大流行的背景下解决这些问题的工作。目的是使用补充基金解决的是：（1）研究COVID-19的影响对老年人及其中年成年子女的健康。我们将评估共同的程度 19个相关的经济和社会压力，例如经济困难和情绪困扰，受影响个人的健康状况，治疗先前存在的慢性疾病（例如糖尿病），影响健康的行为（例如吸烟，药物使用，运动）和认知功能。（2）研究Covid-19-19的影响对世代相传的家庭福利的影响。我们将评估 COVID-19产生的经济和社会压力源对社会行为和家庭的影响几代人之间的功能。在危机时期，我们将研究代际经济环境的传播，情感福祉和社会行为（例如使用物质）并评估COVID-19压力源对婚姻和父母质量等家庭过程的影响儿童关系。
