Project Summary U.S. population aging is occurring more rapidly in rural than in urban areas, rural areas are home to disproportionate shares of older and sicker people, and rural-urban and within-rural disparities in health and mortality are growing. New approaches to researching rural health and aging are needed that recognize that rural America is not monolithic, it contains both resilient and vulnerable places, and its problems are multilevel and multidimensional. The Interdisciplinary Network on Rural Population Health and Aging (INRPHA) will forge new collaborations between scientists who study health and aging with others who focus on spatial disparities and rural well-being. We will bring together dynamic clusters of scientists and recruit emerging, established, and underrepresented researchers from multiple institutions across the U.S. to catalyze a new generation of research on rural U.S. population health and aging. We will leverage a well-established USDA-supported national consortium of researchers (W4001) that has been at the forefront of providing timely and policy-relevant evidence on demographic trends in rural America. In addition, health and aging researchers and the institutional assets within the proposed Network’s four lead universities – Penn State, Syracuse Univ., Univ. of Mississippi, and Univ. of Colorado, Boulder – constitute a pool of expertise poised to provide novel, interdisciplinary, and regionally- attuned understandings of social and spatial determinants of rural population health, health disparities, and aging. The project’s aims are to (1) develop an open and evolving network that draws participants from multiple regions, institutions, disciplines, career stages, and underrepresented groups; (2) design activities to generate innovative research by enhancing the collective capacity of Network members and supporting formative research through pilot grants, working groups, annual meetings, and training materials; and (3) conduct novel research to: a) understand the multilevel and multidimensional mechanisms driving rural-urban continuum and within-rural disparities in health and aging, b) detail the impacts of aging trends on rural communities, c) analyze the intersection of rural economic livelihoods, health, and aging, d) examine the impacts of physical and social isolation on cognitive health (including Alzheimer’s disease) and healthy aging in rural areas, and e) understand relationships between environmental hazards and climate change for rural older adults. We will also attend to intersections between race, rurality, and health and aging outcomes and how these relationships vary across regional, state, and local contexts. A final aim is to (4) disseminate data, analytic resources, and research findings to academic, policy, and public audiences through research briefs, webinars, data archiving, and other mechanisms. Through INRPHA’s activities, emphasis is placed on developing a sustainable foundation to support continued innovative, publicly-accessible, and impactful research on rural population health and aging.

项目摘要 美国人口老龄化在农村地区比城市地区发生得更快，农村地区是 老年人和病情较重的人比例不成比例，以及城乡和农村内部在健康和健康方面的差距 死亡率正在上升。需要研究农村健康和老龄化的新方法，认识到 美国农村并不是铁板一块，它既有适应力强的地方，也有脆弱的地方，其问题是多层次的 和多维的。农村人口健康与老龄化跨学科网络将建立 研究健康和衰老的科学家与关注空间差异的其他科学家之间的新合作 和农村的福祉。我们将汇聚充满活力的科学家集群，招募新兴、成熟和 来自美国多个机构的代表性不足的研究人员将催化新一代研究 关于美国农村人口健康和老龄化的问题。我们将利用美国农业部支持的成熟的国家 研究人员联盟(W4001)，一直站在提供及时和与政策相关的证据的前沿 关于美国农村的人口趋势。此外，健康和老龄化研究人员以及机构资产 在拟议网络的四所主要大学--宾夕法尼亚州立大学、锡拉丘兹大学、大学。密西西比州和密西西比州大学。 科罗拉多州博尔德-构成了一个专业人才库，准备提供新颖的、跨学科的和区域性的- 对农村人口健康的社会和空间决定因素、健康差距和 衰老。该项目的目标是(1)开发一个开放和不断发展的网络，吸引来自多个国家的参与者 区域、机构、学科、职业阶段和代表性不足的群体；(2)设计活动以产生 通过增强网络成员的集体能力和支持形成性研究进行创新研究 通过试点赠款、工作组、年度会议和培训材料；以及(3)进行新的研究 为了：a)了解推动农村-城市连续体和农村内部的多层次和多层面机制 健康和老龄化方面的差异，b)详细说明老龄化趋势对农村社区的影响，c)分析 农村经济生计、健康和老龄化的交叉点，d)审查物质和社会影响 隔离农村地区的认知健康(包括阿尔茨海默病)和健康老龄化，以及e)了解 环境危害与气候变化对农村老年人的影响。我们还将关注 种族、乡村、健康和老龄化结果之间的交叉以及这些关系如何在 地区、州和地方环境。最终目标是(4)传播数据、分析资源和研究结果。 通过研究简报、网络研讨会、数据归档等方式向学术、政策和公众受众 机制。通过INRPHA的活动，重点是发展可持续的基础，以 支持在农村人口健康和老龄化方面继续进行创新、公开和有影响力的研究。
