“…The social capital sub-factor that influenced self-rated health was social network—developmentally disabled people with better-developed networks displayed higher self-rated health levels. The findings support prior studies [ 24 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ] that demonstrated the impact of social networks on health. Trust, however, did not have a significant direct impact on health in this study.…”

This study examines the impact of income and social capital on the health of people with developmental disabilities, focusing on the moderating effects of income and social capital on health. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted using data from 235 people with developmental disabilities who participated in the second wave of the Disability and Life Dynamics Panel. The findings show that people with developmental disabilities who were female, employed, and did not have multiple disabilities and chronic diseases were more likely to display higher levels of self-rated health. Furthermore, self-rated health was higher in those earning a higher income. The social network had a significantly positive effect on health, but its moderating effect on the impact of income did not carry statistical significance. Trust was found to have a moderating effect on the impact of income on health, where the group with greater trust and lower income was healthier than the group with lower trust. The findings suggest the need to provide income support and establish social capital for people with developmental disabilities to improve their health, and this study offers related policy implications.

“…However, referring to a report from the residual serum samples of participants recruited between 24 April and 12 December 2020 from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) including 19.0% of 70 or older, the seropositivity rate was just 0.09% (5/5284). It means there were few hidden undiagnosed infections (asymptomatic patients) in the community in 2020, due to the thorough 3T strategy (testing, tracing, treatment) [ 29 ]. Therefore, we guess that the participants in this study, who were community-dwelling older adults, had much lower rate of having caught COVID-19.…”

This study aimed to analyze the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on cognitive function of community-dwelling elderly individuals. Five-year (2016 to 2020) longitudinal data of the Korea Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS) were used. There were 1559 participants in 2016 and 1455 in 2017 aged 72–84 years. Follow-up was conducted at two-year intervals. We selected participants from the database of the 2017 and 2018 surveys for intergroup comparison over 2-year follow-ups. The number of study patients in the 2017-Group was 1027 and that of the 2018-Group was 879. In the intergroup comparison, the mean difference of word list memory score from 2018 to 2020 was −0.14, while that from 2017 to 2019 was 0.53. The mean difference of word list recall score from 2018 to 2020 was −0.25, while that from 2017 to 2019 was 0.03. These were significant even after adjusting confounding variables. In the intragroup comparison, the word list memory and recall scores from 2018 to 2020 were more decreased than those from 2016 to 2018. Conclusively, cognitive function of the Korean elderly cohort declined much more during the COVID-19 pandemic than before the pandemic, particularly in terms of memory and recall function.

“…Informal care remains the most common source of home care in the United States, with the use of informal home care by older adults with disabilities increasing from 2004 to 2016; nearly three-quarters of older adults with disabilities received informal home care in 2016. In Korea, family members account for the highest percentage of main caregivers, but the proportion of formal caregivers is increasing continuously ( 3 ).…”

ObjectiveThis study examined differences in care burden between formal and informal caregivers of dependent older adults according to care-related characteristics, and whether care time had a moderating effect on the relationship between care-related characteristics and caregiver burden.MethodsParticipants were formal (n = 520) and informal caregivers (n = 142) of dependent older adults in South Korea. Caregiver burden was measured using the Korean version of the Zarit Burden Interview. Data were analyzed using hierarchical regression with interaction terms and moderation analysis.ResultsCaregiver burden was higher for informal caregivers than formal caregivers. Factors associated with an increased risk of caregiver burden in both formal and informal caregiver of dependent older adults were caregivers’ stress, physical strain, and care time. Care time significantly moderated the relationship between care attitude and care burden only among formal caregivers. When formal caregivers’ care time was 1 standard deviation higher than the mean value, care attitude was significantly associated with care burden (bsimple = −0.903, SE = 0.106, p < 0.001).ConclusionThe caregiver burden of dependent older adults can be reduced by providing interventions to attenuate the effects of modifiable risk factors that were identified in this study. And to weaken the relationship between care attitude and burden of formal caregivers who have long care hours, a positive social atmosphere for care should be provided in addition to education. To realize sustainable care, policy considerations that reflect the results of this study will help solve the problem of formal and informal caregiver burden of dependent older adults.
