Description
Moored, Britt, and Cudjoe introduce a symposium on how social ties and surroundings shape health in old age, drawing on early-career researchers. The pandemic renewed focus on connection as a driver of health across life. Their 2023 overview spans talks at community, institutional, and personal levels.
One talk links the count of social destinations in a neighborhood to older adults' movement around their community, tracked by GPS. Another ties religious participation to an inflammation marker that predicts thinking problems. Daily-life talks cover support exchanges and life satisfaction by marital status, and how feeling trapped in caregiving plus daily isolation swings mood in dementia caregivers. The session closes with a discussant's review and new research directions.
