With a sample survey (N = 266) of elderly adults residing in six housing developments in Massachusetts, we used logistic regression to: (a) identify covariates of fear of falling among all subjects and (b) identify covariates of activity curtailment among the subset of subjects who were afraid of falling. Fifty-five percent of respondents were afraid of falling; of those who were afraid, 56% ha...

Goldman, Joichi, and White proved a beautiful theorem showing that the falling factorial generating function for the rook numbers of a Ferrers board factors over the integers. Briggs and Remmel studied an analogue of rook placements where rows are replaced by sets of m rows called levels. They proved a version of the factorization theorem in that setting, but only for certain Ferrers boards. We...

Fall-related injuries are the most common and serious medical problems facing older adults. Recent studies of older adults have focused on the variability of step kinematics and the relationship to falling. The accuracy of step variability estimates is proportional to the number of steps that are collected. The use of an instrumented treadmill allows simultaneous collection of spatial and tempo...

The question of who benefits from economic growth is usually assessed by using cross section data to calculate changes in income inequality. An alternative assess patterns panel changes. We derive theoretical conditions reconciling inequality together with various measures convergent/divergent For a large number indices, as well for Lorenz curves: we show that rising can coexist convergent prov...

BACKGROUND Those with a low income are known to have a higher risk of developing heart disease. However, the inverse relationship - falling into income poverty after developing heart disease has not been explored with longitudinal data. This paper aims to determine if those with heart disease have an elevated risk of falling into poverty. METHODS Survival analysis was conducted using the long...
