 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this research is to extend the Longitudinal Study of Generations and Mental Health (LSOG) by linking it to mortality data from the National Death Index (NDI). The addition of valid dates and underlying causes of death for decedents will provide the opportunity to examine how religiosity influences risk of mortality in later life, as well as open up possibilities for the general research community to investigate the influence of other psycho-social factors on mortality when these new data are archived. The Longitudinal Study of Generations (LSOG) is a study of 3,168 individuals representing 328 three-generation families that began in 1971 and has continued to 2006. The focus of the proposed project will be on 1,217 respondents in the two oldest generations who in 1971 averaged 67 and 43 years, respectively. Multidimensional measures of religiosity have been applied over the eight waves of measurement, including frequency of attendance at religious services, values concerning the role of religion in public life, beliefs in conservative religious ideology, identification as a religious person, salience of religion in one's life, and religious denomination. Survival analysis will be used to assess how time-varying religiosity variables influence the risk of mortality over 40 years and to examine the following mediators through which this relationship unfolds: social integration (structural, functional, and normative), health behaviors (tobacco and alcohol consumption) and psychological well-being (depression, self-esteem, and locus of control). The potential of hyper-religiosity to negatively influence survival will also be examined in non-linear models. The multi-actor/full family design of the study provides added value by allowing various within- family assessments of mortality risk that hold constant common but unobserved background characteristics. This investigation will provide knowledge about the mechanisms linking behavioral and subjective aspects of religiosity to health outcomes in two older cohorts.

 描述（由适用提供）：这项研究的目的是通过将其与来自国家死亡指数（NDI）的死亡率数据联系起来，扩展世代和心理健康（LSOG）的纵向研究。为死者增加有效的日期和潜在的死亡原因，将为研究宗教如何影响以后的生活风险，并为一般研究界为研究其他心理社会因素对死亡率的影响而开辟了可能性。一代人的纵向研究（LSOG）是对328个三代家庭的3168个人的研究，该研究始于1971年，一直持续到2006年。拟议项目的重点将在1971年平均为67和43岁的两个老一代中负责1,217个负责。宗教斯托斯特的多维衡量标准已在八波衡量浪潮中应用，包括参加宗教服务的频率，关于宗教在公共生活中的作用，保守宗教认同的信仰，作为宗教人士的信仰，宗教人士在人生中的显着性和宗教宗教信仰的价值观。生存分析将用于评估时间变化的宗教信仰变量如何影响40年的死亡风险，并检查以下中断这种关系的调解人：社会融合（结构，功能和正常），健康，健康 行为（烟草和饮酒）和心理健康（抑郁，自尊和控制源）。在非线性模型中，还将检查超宗教对生存的负面影响的潜力。该研究的多演奏者/完整的家庭设计通过允许家庭内部评估死亡率风险的各种内部评估，这些风险具有恒定但未观察到的背景特征。这项投资将提供有关将宗教的行为和主观方面与两个较旧人群的健康成果联系起来的机制的知识。
