Background: We investigated associations of childhood socioeconomic position and health with trajectories of grip strength from middle to older ages in two distinct populations.
Methods: We used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, n = 16,701) and English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA, n = 12,695). Hand grip strength was measured at three timepoints in CHARLS (2011-2015) and four in ELSA (2001-2020).

This has prompted calls to improve financial protections, but the target population remains uncharacterized.

Emory Global Diabetes Research Center, Hubert Department of Global Health, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Objectives: The 50-59 age group in the United States experience higher levels of food insecurity (FI) compared to older adults. While previous research has identified an association between FI and cognition outcomes in older populations, limited research has examined midlife as a specific FI exposure window and the association of this hardship with long-run cognition outcomes.
Methods: Utilizing 14 waves of Health and Retirement Study (HRS) data (1995-2020), I applied mixed-effects models to assess the relationship between midlife FI exposure and later-life cognitive function, controlling for childhood disadvantages and other health-related and sociodemographic characteristics.
