Longitudinal Research

13.0K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.9K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Disability Studies
  • Leisure Science

Background:

  • Healthy leisure patterns are age-dependent.
  • Individuals with disabilities are prone to passive leisure activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate leisure time use in individuals with disabilities across the life course.
  • Examine variations in passive, active, social, and isolated leisure by age.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of nationally representative American Time Use Survey data (2008, 2010, 2012-2016).
  • Linear regression models to assess disability's association with leisure time, controlling for health and sociodemographics.
  • Evaluation of age-disability interactions and disability subtypes.

Main Results:

  • People with disabilities report more leisure time, but of poorer quality, including over 2 hours more passive leisure.
  • Disproportionate isolated leisure occurs at home, alone, with differences most pronounced in later life.
  • Differences in total and passive leisure are greatest in midlife.

Conclusions:

  • Individuals with disabilities consistently engage in less health-promoting leisure across all ages.
  • Leisure patterns for people with disabilities show unique characteristics in midlife and older adulthood.
