At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Historical discrimination and persecution in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) create intergenerational adversity.
  • Long-term effects of these experiences on older adults' cognitive function, specifically memory, are under-researched.
  • Adversity can impact socioeconomic status (SES) and health outcomes across generations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between an intergenerational index of discrimination, persecution, and dispossession and memory performance in older adults from CEE countries.
  • To explore how parental and personal experiences of historical adversity influence cognitive function in later life.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from 21,989 respondents (mean age 67.1) in wave 7 of the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) across 11 CEE countries.
  • Developed a categorical index for intergenerational exposure to discrimination (none, parental only, personal only, both).
  • Employed linear regression models, adjusting for demographic factors, early life conditions, and educational attainment to assess memory performance (z-score of immediate and delayed recall).

Main Results:

  • 36.7% of respondents reported some experience of discrimination or persecution (parental, personal, or both).
  • Parental exposure to discrimination/persecution was associated with lower memory scores (-0.03).
  • After adjusting for early life factors, only the negative association between parental persecution and memory persisted (β=-0.04).

Conclusions:

  • Parental exposure to discrimination and persecution is linked to diminished memory performance in older adults.
  • These findings suggest that historical adversity can exert a transgenerational negative influence on cognitive function.
  • Intergenerational transmission of adversity may represent a significant factor in cognitive aging.
