GREMAP folks attended the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) annual conference in Tampa earlier this month. We presented our work on a variety of topics on the intersections between aging and health, including mental heath, cognition, social isolation, and function limitation, as well as how this interacts with social and economic factors such as long-term care, retirement, and incarceration.

GREMAP presentations included:

“Incarceration History and its Association With Cognition and Isolation Among Older Black Americans”, presented by Eskira Kahsay.

“Correlates of Retirement Expectations Among Baby Boomers in US and South Korea: Applications of Tree-Based Methods”, presented by Linh Dang.

“Parental Transition to Long-term Care: Implications for Psychological Well-Being of Adult Children”, presented by Viktoryia Kalesnikava.

“Network Analysis of Objective and Subjective Indicators of Social Isolation and Functional Limitations”, presented by Chuwen Zhong.

“Nursing Home Expectations and Mental Health Among Older Adults in the Health and Retirement Study”, presented by Annalise Lane.

Overall, this year’s conference was a great opportunity to share our ongoing work with a gerontology-focused and interdisciplinary audience. Great work to everyone who presented and collaborated on these projects!
