Huge thanks to @RebeccaMaguire @rafamoral Joanna McHugh and Idemauro Lara @data_science_ie.

* Health pessimists are likely to be lost to death/dropout. Therefore, health pessimism may represent prodromal poor health. * The discrepancy between an older adult’s objective and subjective health status is clinically relevant and is predictive of various health sequelae.

Some highlights: . * Older adults who are realistic about their health (whether it is good or bad health), are likely to remain health realistic over time. * Good health realists are also likely to become health optimistic over time.

~ New Publication ~ . We have just published our study in Social Science and Medicine. We explored whether English older adults transition to and from states of health optimism, health pessimism and health realism over time, using a Markov transition model.

RT @RebeccaMaguire: New paper alert from the fab @_bill_cal_ 👏👏.

this publication is the outcome of my research visit to ARC at @karolinskainst. thanks to my supervisors Dr Welmer and Dr Calderón-Larrañaga for their guidance, and to @RebeccaMaguire and Dr McHugh Power. @data_science_ie @MU_Hamilton @MaynoothUni.

we conclude that interpreting subjective health appraisals alongside objective health scores in clinical settings is informative. we found that health optimists had an increased risk of experiencing an injurious fall.

~new publication~. our paper has been published in @JAMDAcom where we determine how discrepancies between subjective and objective health scores predict injurious fall risk in Swedish older adults .

Really enjoyed last night’s poster session at the annual @societyforepi meeting in Austin, TX. Blocking my poster in this pic because I lack spatial awareness.

talking nonsense as per, at the nordic congress of gerontology, in karolinska institutet #27NKG

*was here for research purposes, of course

We are still looking for participants for our study!! . If you are 50+ years or know someone who might be interested in participating, there is a link below to get started:.

Spoke on @drivetimerte last night about participating in the competition, and featured on @IrishTimes too. My 6th class teacher always told me I had a face for radio.

and thank you to my amazing supervisors @RebeccaMaguire @joannamchugh for their guidance the last 4 years 🎉.

Very proud to have represented my University at the national finals today. Didn’t take home the douze points, but I am still over the moon @MaynoothUni @data_science_ie @RebeccaMaguire @MU_PostGrad @IUAofficial.
