Meaningful improvement in gait speed in hip fracture recoveryDawn E Alley
Departments of Epidemiology and Public Health, School of Medicine, University of Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
J Am Geriatr Soc 59:1650-7. 2011..To estimate meaningful improvements in gait speed observed during recovery from hip fracture and to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of gait speed changes in detecting change in self-reported mobility...- Changes in weight at the end of life: characterizing weight loss by time to death in a cohort study of older menDawn E Alley
Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Am J Epidemiol 172:558-65. 2010..Results suggest that weight loss in older persons may begin earlier than previously believed. The duration of weight loss for noncancer deaths suggests that even distal changes in energy balance may be linked to risk of death... - Mortgage delinquency and changes in access to health resources and depressive symptoms in a nationally representative cohort of Americans older than 50 yearsDawn E Alley

Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21201, USA
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci 65:583-90. 2010..To determine how often theory is used in published research in social gerontology, compare theory use over a 10-year period (1990-1994 to 2000-2004), and identify the theories most frequently used in social gerontology research... - Hospitalization and change in body composition and strength in a population-based cohort of older personsDawn E Alley
