Patterns of Unmet Needs With Assistance for Self-Care Activities at the End of Life by Place of Death Among Older Adults.

Older Americans experience adverse consequences linked to inadequate assistance with self-care activities. These unmet care needs increase risk of hospitalization, institutionalization, and morbidity. While a growing body of research has focused on disparities in unmet care needs and place of death outcomes among older adults separately, less is known about the intersection between the two: place of death and unmet care needs at the end of life.

Generational Shifts in Young Adult Cardiovascular Health? Millennials and Generation X in the United States and England.

Objectives: To compare cardiovascular (CV) risks/conditions of Millennials (born 1981-1996) to those of Generation X (Gen X; born 1965-1980) at ages 20-34 years, across 2 countries (United States, England), by gender.

Methods: Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (United States) and Health Survey for England, we estimated weighted unadjusted and adjusted gender-specific proportions of CV risk factors/conditions, separately for Millennials and Generation X in each country. We also further calculated sex-specific generational differences in CV risk factor/conditions by income tercile and for individuals with normal body weight.
