TL;DR: This paper begins by re-casting aging-in-place as a process of place integration, based on a combination of geographical theory and John Dewey's philosophy of experience, and introduces a theoretical model of the place integration process for older adults using ADCs and ALRs.

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates how geographical gerontology is currently constituted of multiple fields of empirical interest studied by multiple academic disciplines, as well as emerging post-modern perspectives and qualitative approaches that sensitively investigate the complex relationships between older people and the varied places within which they live and are cared for.

TL;DR: The results are consistent with the healthy immigrant hypothesis (i.e., newer immigrants are healthier) and the acculturation hypothesis, according to which the longer Mexican immigrants reside in the United States, the greater their likelihood of potentially losing culture-related health-protective effects.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that cytokine levels are influenced by both age and ethnicity, and show that inflammatory profiles for Mexican Americans are lower than non-Hispanic whites andnon-Hispanic blacks.
