Background: It has been well-established that the allostatic load (AL) index, a cumulative score of multi-system dysregulation in response to chronic stress, is significantly increased at the time of a psychiatric diagnosis. However, no studies have investigated if there is an association between the AL index in childhood and the later development of mental health symptoms in young adults.
Methods: Using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), a population cohort from Bristol, United Kingdom, we investigated the AL index at age 9 years and the risks for mental health symptoms at age 24 years.
Background: Lack of social support and social isolation are risk factors for poor cognitive health. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) older adults consistently report higher levels of isolation and less social support in population studies. In this study, we test the effects of support for LGBTQ+ identity and feelings of social isolation on subjective cognitive health in a cohort of LGBTQ+ older Americans.
