Gerontologist

Centre for Digital Transformation of Health and Centre for Health Policy, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Background And Objectives: Previous studies have indicated that married people are generally healthier than unmarried people, with lower mortality rates. Most work in this area has employed cross-sectional data, and few studies have examined change in marital status from married to unmarried as a potential social ecological determinant of dental health behavior. Here, we used longitudinal data to examine change in dental behavior over time following marital status change, and to explore whether self-reported gender may play a modifying role in any behavioral change.

School of Medicine, Univeristy of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, United States.

The last century's numerous, rapid social changes affecting gay men make studies of gay male aging a ripe topic for life course theory, which views later life as the product of historical grounded interchanges between individual lives, social change, and structural contexts. That identifying as gay can occur at any point in the life course widens some life course theorists' primary focus on early-life events to include those occurring throughout the life course. Yet most historically-attentive research on older gay men focuses on generations and identity development rather than on cohorts - groups who entered a system or context at the same time - or on the cumulative, concrete outcomes of encountering social change at a particular point in the life course.
