Background In U.S., 5 million people with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), by 2050, million (Alzheimer’s Association, 2007) 25% U.S. adults >65 yrs. with cognitive decline (Unverzagt et al., 2001) Major causes of functional disability, decreased independence, compromised quality of life Economic burden

Background Recent research suggests lifestyle behaviors may reduce risk for cognitive disorders: Physical Activity Heart-Healthy Diet Social Engagement (CDC & the Alzheimer’s Association, 2007; Colcombe & Kramer, 2003; Colcombe et al., 2003; 2004a; 2004b; 2005; Laurin, Verreault, Lindsay, MacPherson, & Rockwood, 2001).

Background June 2007, Alzheimer’s Association & CDC released scientific review report with a … “Call to action for implementing a coordinated approach for moving cognitive health into public health practice” (National Public Health Road Map to Maintaining Cognitive Health, 2007)

Purpose Conduct formative research to gather ideas for cognitive health promotion among general public & older adults Regard for diversity & cultural differences Targeting & tailoring implications (Kreuter & Wray, 2003) 9 U.S. sites in the CDC funded Healthy Aging Research Network (HAN)

Methods 9-item FG Discussion Guide 20-item FG Participant Survey USC IRB approval obtained November 2005, pilot test conducted Minimal modifications to protocols or guide Recruited participants through USC Office for the Study of Aging

Methods February – March 2006, 9 focus groups: 5 African American (n=42) 4 White (n=41) Held at various urban & rural community senior centers $30 gift card incentives Audio taped & manual notes (90-120min.)

Methods Survey data entered into EpiInfo, exported to SAS Audio tapes transcribed verbatim, verified imported into AtlasTi 2 teams developed qualitative codebooks & combined them to form master 2 coders independently coded transcripts.80 inter-rater agreement

Results: Sample (n=83) 85.0% Female 51.8% African American 68.3% yrs., mean = 72.0± % < High school 30.5 % High school degree 26.8% Some college/voc-tech

Results: Sample (n=83) 50.6% Rural residence* 49.4% Urban residence* 42.7% Widowed 36.6% Married 52.2% Annual Income < $20, % Annual Income $20,000-$39,999 * self identified, undefined

Results: Characteristics of Aging Well Overall Themes: Socially active, involved Active spiritual life, prayer, gratitude Not worrying Not taking medications Traveling (for leisure)

Participant Quotes “I really think that’s (faith & prayer) very important too because we know that the body is decaying… we are getting older. We’re born to die.” “…I’ll be 72 … and I don’t take no medicine.” “I’m the only one in my graduating class that don’t take high blood pressure medication.”

Results: Aging Well, African Americans Themes: Church attendance, involvement “Sharp,” good memory Few health problems, doc visits Good mobility (“getting around”) Independence (driving, living alone, working)

Participant Quotes “… she gets around better than the average teenager…” “I can drive and carry myself wherever I want to go.” “You know, I talked to a guy yesterday and he’s in his early 70’s and you may think this is far- fetched, but this guy said, “I have never been tired.” He goes and he still works. He does everything.”

Results: Aging Well, Whites Themes: Positive outlook, humor to cope Longevity, heredity/genetics Physical activity, exercise, staying active

Participant Quotes P1:“My Dad was 100 and my Mother was 102.” P2:“No wonder you are at your age now.” P3:“That’s why she’s so good.” P2:“That’s why she’s good…you got it on both sides.”

Participant Quotes “If you have a good mental outlook you’re probably going to be active and you’re probably going to eat reasonably well.” “I had a sister…she died a few years ago. And she never let nothing worry her. She never did let nothing worry her. And she never had a headache in her life and she lived to be 90-something years old.”

Limitations Convenience sample, small n Self selection, senior center participants Exploratory, not confirmatory but suggestive FG format may have inhibited discussion or allowed for “dominate talkers” Subjectivity in coding/interpretation of “meanings”

Implications Overall, absence of perceptions about the role of lifestyle behaviors and relationship to cognitive health Variation in perceptions of aging well by race provides opportunities for tailoring messages & materials Need for culturally relevant physical activity & nutrition messages & materials Additional formative research needed

In Their Own Words... “I’m 80 and I play in a band and I shake at both ends.”
