| Popis: | Glucose regulation is a key aspect of healthy aging and has been linked to brain functioning and cognition. Here we examined the role of glucose regulation for within-person longitudinal trajectories of well-being. We applied growth models to data from the Berlin Aging Study II (N = 955), using insulin resistance as an index of glucoregulatory capacity. We found that poor glucose regulation (higher insulin resistance) was consistently associated with lower levels of well-being among older men but not women. Our study provides novel evidence for the relevance of glucose regulation for well-being among older men. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved). |
