She practices clinical neuropsychology at the interdisciplinary Rural and Remote Memory Clinic and researches the use of technology for rural dementia care. Dr. O’Connell is a member of the Psychology Working Group in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). She is currently working with a CLSA team in developing normative papers for the neuropsychological batteries and psychometric properties of the depression state. This webinar focuses upon the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). A 10-item short form (CES-D-10) used in the CLSA measures two distinct factors related to depressive systems: depressed affect and lack of positive affect. Dr. O’Connell explores how respondent characteristics (e.g. language, age) impact how the CES-D-10 measures depression.

These diseases add up, and the combined effect is more important than the effect of any one problem alone. Using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), this webinar will examine the relationship between disease combinations and if they are more common in older people, or in people with lower income and education. Dr. Philip St. John is an associate professor and head of geriatric medicine in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Manitoba. He is an affiliate of the Centre on Aging at the University of Manitoba, and is the co-lead investigator of the CLSA Manitoba site. His research interests include rural health and epidemiology of cognitive impairment and depression.

However, changes in cognition also may be associated with medical conditions such as Alzheimer Disease. The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) is collecting detailed information about the performance of people aged 45-85 years on measures of cognitive functioning for Canadians. Our research team, funded by the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Pacific Alzheimer Research Foundation, is seeking to understand the health and lifestyle factors that affect cognitive functions with the intention of creating standards for typical performances of English-and-French speaking Canadians that can be used to identify changes in cognition greater than expected.

In particular, the presentation focuses on the influence of socioeconomic inequalities on transitions and outcomes for older adults. James Nazroo is professor of sociology, director of the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE), and co-director of the Manchester Institute for Collaborative Research on Ageing (MICRA) at the University of Manchester.

Ann Toohey is a doctoral candidate in the Population & Public Health stream of the University of Calgary’s Department of Community Health Sciences. With a focus on gerontology and human-animal studies, Ann’s doctoral research program explores older adults’ experiences of aging-in-place with companion animals (pets). More than 30% of older Canadians (≥65 yr) have a household pet that provides companionship. Yet consideration for the relationships older people have with companion animals is virtually absent from policies and practices to promote aging-in-place, including the WHO Age-Friendly Cities movement. This presentation will focus preliminary findings on associations between different measures of social participation and satisfaction with life in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). Specifically, this webinar will explore whether and how pets influence these associations, and then will consider the implications for organized efforts to promote aging-in-place.

Her main research interests lie in the areas of healthy aging, determinants of healthy aging, age-friendly communities, and health care utilization among older adults, particularly at the end of life. She is currently the Manitoba lead of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). Nancy Newall is an assistant professor of psychology at Brandon University and a research affiliate with the Centre on Aging at the University of Manitoba. Her work has examined some of the causes of loneliness as well as the consequences of loneliness for older Manitobans in terms of health and longevity. Most recently, she has turned her attention to exploring what types of services or interventions might help people become less lonely or isolated and more socially connected.

The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the frailty of participants in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). A Frailty Index (FI) was constructed for CLSA participants based on the cumulative deficit model of frailty. Exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were conducted to study the underlying constructs of frailty and identify key factors. A new frailty measurement tool was created and its construct validity evaluated.

Recruitment and baseline data collection for more than 50,000 participants has been completed, and the first follow-up wave of data collection is well underway. Alphanumeric baseline data on all 50,000 participants (Tracking and Comprehensive) are available for use by the research community. Join Dr. Susan Kirkland, CLSA co-principal investigator and professor in the Departments of Community Health & Epidemiology and Medicine at Dalhousie University in Halifax, for an update on the progress of the CLSA, including descriptive statistics of study participants at baseline, additions to study content, retention and accommodation strategies, availability and access to data and biospecimens, and how CLSA data can be used to inform a wide range of research projects.

Some Canadians are choosing to gradually reduce their working hours before fully exiting the labour force whereas others are exiting the labour force earlier but later returning to work post-retirement. Findings suggest that labour market participation decisions, such as earlier retirement and/or return to work, may be motivated by a complex interaction of demographic and circumstantial factors. In this webinar, Mehreen Khan and Marvi Memon, graduates of the Master of Public Service (MPS) at the University of Waterloo, will draw on evidence from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) to shed light on the demographics and gender-based motivations of Canadians who choose to return to work post-retirement.
