| Annotation | As people age, their peers (who are also ageing) become increasingly susceptible to health decline and death, implying potential growth in stressful loss-related events over time for the individual. The purpose of this research was to determine whether growth in loss-related events occurs for older people, and whether stress growth is related to the well-known growth in depressive symptomatology in later life. Three waves of the US National Institute on Aging Established Populations for Epidemiological Studies of the Elderly (EPESE - Duke University site) were used in the analysis. Results suggests that stress in later life may be conceived of as a growth process, with strong consequences for trajectories of mental health. (RH). |
