Statistical analysis was completed from December 2021 to July 2022.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Exposures<\/jats:title>Self-reported history of incarceration.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>Geriatric health outcomes included cognitive impairment, mobility impairment, vision impairment, hearing impairment, urinary incontinence, and impairment of activities of daily living (ADLs). Chronic health outcomes included high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic lung disease, heart disease, stroke, mental health conditions, heavy alcohol use, and self-reported health. Survey weights were applied to adjust for the survey design.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Among 13\u202f462 participants, 946 (7.6%) had experienced incarceration (mean [SD] age, 62.4 [7.8] years); compared with 12\u202f516 people with no prior incarceration (mean [SD] age, 66.7 [10.0] years), previously incarcerated adults were more likely to be male (83.0% vs 42.8%; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) and in the lowest quartile of wealth (44.1% vs 21.4%; overall P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). After adjusting for age, sex, race and ethnicity, wealth, educational attainment, and uninsured status, a history of incarceration was associated with a 20% to 80% increased risk of all geriatric syndromes evaluated, including impairment of ADLs (relative risk [RR], 1.62; 95% CI, 1.40-1.88) and hearing impairment (RR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.04-1.44). Incarceration was also associated with increased risk of some chronic diseases, including chronic lung disease (RR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.27-1.91), mental health conditions (RR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.55-2.08), and heavy alcohol use (RR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.59-2.84). Prior incarceration was not associated with diabetes or cardiovascular conditions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>In this study, at least 1 in 15 older US adults reported a history of incarceration in their lifetime. Past incarceration was associated with many chronic diseases and geriatric syndromes even after accounting for socioeconomic status. These findings suggest that attention to incarceration history may be an important consideration in understanding and mitigating health risks in older age.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2022.49785","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,6]],"date-time":"2023-01-06T16:37:04Z","timestamp":1673023024000},"page":"e2249785","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["History of Incarceration and Its Association With Geriatric and Chronic Health Outcomes in Older Adulthood"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Ilana R.","family":"Garcia-Grossman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco"},{"name":"National Clinician Scholars Program, Philip R.
