Concurrent decline of body and mind

IALSA-2015-Portland workshop performs a coordinated analysis with replication (CAR) of decline in physical and cognitive functioning during later adulthood. The research agenda distinguishes the following foci:

  • gait-cognitive - Associations between changes in measures of gait and changes in cognitive function.
  • grip-cognitive - Associations between changes in grip function and changes in cognitive function.
  • pulmonary-cognitive - Associations between changes in pulmonary function and changes in cognitive function.
  • physical-physical - Associations among rates of change in measures of physical functioning.
  • cognitive-cognitive - Associations among rates of change in measures of cognitive function.

Please follow the links above to review the scope and results of the individual track.

Models

Any model in the collective can be specified by a form nested within the following general specification:
general_model_specification

with covariance structure given as general_model_specification
For details see model specification.

Measures

The following information display shows the available models submitted to the collective, grouping them by cognitive domains (color), items tapping those domains (row labels), and specific tests (cell labels) and indicating the total number of models using this item (number after cell label).

Background

The current repository analyzes the results of the IALSA Analysis Workshop (pdf overview) that was held in Portland, Oregon from Monday February 23rd (8:30am) to Wednesday February 25th (12:30pm), 2015.

The primary aim of the workshop was to examine associations between changes in physical functioning (i.e., grip strength, pulmonary function, chair stands, walking speed) and cognitive functioning (i.e., measures of speed, memory, reasoning, executive functioning) in multiple-study comparative framework. Bivariate growth processes were estimated to evaluate dynamic associations in change and variation within and across these domains and in relation to sample and individual differences in age, lifestyle, and health outcomes. The results from these analyses will extend recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses (e.g., Clouston et al., 2012, Epidemiological Reviews and will be submitted for publication as a set of independent brief reports, capped by a literature review/overview of analysis and completed with a research synthesis summary.
