“…Internal consistency reliability of the BSCS was good ( α = 0.85) and is comparable to other validation studies of α = 0.85–0.92 (Lardier, Reid, et al, 2018; Peterson et al, 2008); studies that have used the BSCS with older adults, α = 0.79–0.94 (Au et al, 2020; Guo et al, 2021; Kim et al, 2018; Kono et al, 2012; Tadaka et al, 2016; Tang et al, 2021; Zhang et al, 2017, 2018; Zhang, 2019; Zheng et al, 2020); and studies with Spanish‐speakers, α = 0.85–0.93 (Hombrados‐Mendieta et al, 2013; Rivera‐Segarra et al, 2016). Good reliability across diverse samples of older adults shows promise of the cross‐cultural utility of the BSCS.…”

“…A large gap in the PSOC literature is the lack of psychometric studies of the BSCS with older adults. Researchers have used the BSCS with samples of older adults in Hong Kong (Au et al, 2020; Guo et al, 2021; Tang et al, 2021), China (Zhang, 2019; Zheng et al, 2020), Korea (Kim et al, 2018), and Japan (Kono et al, 2012; Tadaka et al, 2016). But most of these studies report only internal consistency reliability so the validity of the scale remains unclear.…”

The Brief Sense of Community Scale (BSCS) is a well‐validated measure of psychological sense of community (PSOC), but it has yet to be tested with Spanish‐speaking older adults. The current study uses data from face‐to‐face interviews with a non‐probability sample of 154 community‐dwelling older adults in Puerto Rico. We used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test three competing factor structures. We also tested internal consistency reliability and convergent validity. CFA results show the second‐order four‐factor model was the best fit (χ2(16) = 20.78, p = 0.187; CFI = 0.997, TLI = 0.995, SRMR = 0.026, RMSEA = 0.044, 90% CI [<0.001, 0.092]). The BSCS showed good reliability (α = 0.85) and was correlated in the expected direction with social network size (r = 0.34, p < 0.001) and loneliness (r = −0.27, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that the BSCS comprises the four domains (membership, needs fulfillment, emotional connection, and influence) from the original PSOC theory. These results inform theory development and can aid program planning, policy, and practice with older adults in Puerto Rico.

“…It is well‐established that the proportion of the elderly population has been increasing dramatically around the world 8 . In comparison with the young population, elderly people have a higher incidence of rapid renal function decline and CKD, 10–12 being worthy of more concern and investigation.…”

“…2,7 Thus, it is necessary to explore potential factors related with rapid eGFR decline, which can facilitate targeted prevention and intervention for higher-risk subgroups. 2 Globally, the proportion of elderly population has been increasing dramatically, 8 in particular China's population has 180 million people aged ≥65 years, accounting for 13% of the whole population in 2020. 9 Importantly, compared with the young population, elderly people have a higher incidence of rapid renal function decline and CKD, [10][11][12] which is worthy of more concern and investigation.…”

To explore potential factors associated with rapid kidney function decline and new-onset kidney disease among a Chinese elderly population, and to examine the relationships between baseline serum uric acid (SUA), longitudinal change in SUA and rapid estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline over 5 years for this Chinese elderly population.Methods: A 5-year follow-up study was conducted from 2016 to 2020 in Xiamen City, China; and 2436 elderly people with normal kidney function at baseline was included. The multivariable logistic regressions were used to explore risk factors for rapid eGFR decline and new-onset kidney disease. Results:The median age of subjects was 65 years, and 38.5% were men. These elderly people experienced a median 5-year decrease in eGFR of 14.50 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , and 11.2% of them had developed new-onset kidney disease after 5-year follow-up. Participants with elevated SUA change from the normal group to the hyperuricemia group witnessed the highest decrease of eGFR after a 5-year follow-up than other groups. Multivariate analysis found advanced age, female, elevated baseline SUA, elevated SUA change, hypertension and triglyceride-glucose index were risk factors for rapid eGFR decline and new-onset kidney disease. Conclusion:The Chinese elderly population was more likely to encounter rapid renal function decline and new-onset kidney disease. A regular test for kidney disease was strongly recommended for these elderly people who were female, with advanced age, with elevated baseline SUA and elevated SUA change; and had high levels of insulin resistance, and blood pressure. The derived findings can offer significant evidence for targeted prevention for the Chinese elderly population.

“…The Community Commitment Scale (CCS) is a scale used to assess sense of community, which was developed by considering the cultural diversity of Japanese people who value relationships with neighbors and communities but who inhabit a limited land area on the Japanese islands [ 35 ]. Previous studies in Japan [ 36 ] and Korea [ 37 ] have demonstrated that the CCS can be used to psychometrically measure older adults’ socialization and sense of belonging via the strength of their community networks and that the CCS is a useful indicator to monitor older adults living in the community who may be socially isolated. The CCS has a Cronbach’s alpha (which conveys the internal consistency of the scale) of 0.75 in local volunteers and 0.78 in general residents.…”

Factors associated with community commitment among older adults: a stratified analysis of community group leaders and members

et al. 2022

Background Community commitment through group activities in the community is associated with improved health outcomes in older adults and has a ripple effect on community development. However, factors associated with community commitment through group activities in the community have not been examined. The purpose of this study was to examine individual factors and group-related factors in association with community commitment among older adult leaders and members of community groups in Japan. Methods We mailed self-administered questionnaires to all older adults participating in a community group (N = 1,898) in a ward of Yokohama city, the largest designated city in Japan. Variables included demographic characteristics, community commitment (Community Commitment Scale), individual factors, and group-related factors. We used logistic regression analysis to assess the association among study variables. Results A total of 1,154 people completed the questionnaire. The valid response rate was 48.8%. Respondents’ mean age was 78.3 years (standard deviation [SD] = 6.1, range 65–100 years), 79.6% were women, 55.9% were married, and 10.0% were employed. Factors associated with community commitment among group leaders were scores for self-efficacy in the health promotion scale (SF-15; mean ± SD: 48.5 ± 7.1), 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (mean ± SD: 17.9 ± 4.3), and Lubben Social Network Scale, Japanese version (mean ± SD: 19.5 ± 6.9), as well as a perception of deriving pleasure from group participation (mean ± SD: 91.2 ± 9.4). Factors associated with community commitment among group members were economic status (Sufficient; n [%]: 749 [85.9]), frequency of going out (mean ± SD: 5.1 ± 1.8), years of group participation (mean ± SD: 6.2 ± 5.0), and perceptions of their role in the group (Yes; n [%]: 254 [30.4]) as well as the above factors for leaders. A supplementary qualitative analysis of participants’ free-text responses extracted seven categories: community support, resource mobilization, partnership action, asset management, participatory decision-making, linkages and networking, and community dissemination, related to perception of a role in the group. Conclusion Our results emphasize the importance of considering the different associations of community commitment through group activities in the community between group leaders and members, including the role of older adults in community groups, and suggest different approaches for group leaders and members.
