The meeting concludes with a congressional briefing on Capital Hill in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, November 25.&nbsp; Physicians, nurses, social workers and psychologists will attend and be eligible for continuing education credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The premise for DeViney&#8217;s research is based on the well documented relationship between income, occupation, education and health in the later years of life.&nbsp; He tested this relationship between housing wealth and health status using seven waves of the Rand version of the Health and Retirement Survey in a pool times-series model.&nbsp; The outcome was that housing wealth was associated with fewer major medical conditions and better self-reported health over time.&nbsp; His results support the life course\/accumulative advantage theory that resources gained over the life course are linked to better health.&nbsp; In viewing the American health policy and health, he states that the role of wealth inequality, particularly housing, needs to be taken into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>###<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Gail Stephens, assistant director, UMES Office of Public Relations, 410-651-7580,&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:gcstephens@umes.edu\">gcstephens@umes.edu<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, October 21, 2008 PRINCESS ANNE, MD &#8211; Dr. Stanley DeViney, a professor in the department of social sciences at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, has received notification that his abstract &#8220;Health and Wealth:&nbsp; The Relationship Between Housing Wealth and Changes in Health Status&#8221; has been accepted for presentation at the 61st&nbsp;annual scientific meeting&#8230;<span class=\"cpschool-read-more-link-holder\"><a class=\"btn btn-basic cpschool-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/deviney-to-present-abstract-at-gerontological-society-of-america-meeting\/\">Read more <span class=\"sr-only\">Deviney to Present Abstract at Gerontological Society of America Meeting<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2847,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[103],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-2846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2846"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/scm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_folder?post=2846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
