The Role of Life Satisfaction and Optimism for Successful Aging in Mid and Late Life.

Guided by the Rowe and Kahn model, the current study examined the longitudinal association of objective and subjective components of successful aging (SA) with individuals' life satisfaction and level of optimism across adulthood aiming to validate the related scanty existing research. Data were from waves 2 and 3 (2004-14) of the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study. Using structural equation modeling, we examined (N = 2,040) whether subjective life satisfaction (wave 2) has any effect on a composite measure of SA (wave 3) while controlling for baseline sociodemographic and health factors. We also examined the mediation effects of optimism in the above associations. Findings revealed that life satisfaction has a significant positive effect on SA; also, this effect is bidirectional. Further, high optimism positively mediated the bidirectional association between life satisfaction and SA. This study identified life satisfaction and optimism as having potentially positive impacts on achieving SA in middle-aged and older adults.

The Impact of Assisted Living Organizational Structure and Process Characteristics on Staff Absence During COVID-19.

Quality of care in assisted living communities (ALCs) is important to consumers. The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and associated emergency policies have posed major challenges on staff recruitment and retention. This study aimed to examine the relationship between organizational characteristics of ALCs in Florida and challenges with staff absence during COVID-19 (N = 129 ALCs). Results indicated that structures (provision of memory care services), processes of care (challenges hiring new staff, staff sent home to comply with precautions, and staff anxiety), and local COVID-19 positivity rate were significantly associated with staff absence due to fear of infection, sickness, or family responsibilities. ALC providers and state regulatory agencies should develop policies and procedures that take these issues into consideration to prepare for future emergencies and disasters. Infection control policies should reflect whether an ALC provides memory care services and inform ways to overcome potential challenges with protocols. Efforts to reduce staff anxiety and disaster-related concerns should also be considered to ensure quality of care during emergencies.

ALCs who provided memory care services had significantly greater challenges with staff absence due to fear of infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.The administrative action of sending staff home to comply with COVID-19 precautions, difficulty hiring new staff, and staff anxiety were process characteristics of ALCs associated with greater challenges with staff absence.Policymakers should consider whether an ALC provides memory care services, faces potential challenges with infection control protocols, and addresses the mental health of staff when creating and implementing infection control policies.

Impact of Optimism on Cognitive Performance of People Living in Rural Area: Findings From a 20-Year Study in US Adults.

Objectives: Mid- or early-late-life cognitive function is an indicator for developing late-life dementia. However, it is still unclear whether rural/urban living contexts provide cognitive benefits across adulthood. Further, higher optimism serves as a general protective factor for many health outcomes. The present study examines associations between rurality/urbanicity, optimism, and change in mid/late-life cognitive functions over time. Methods: Data were from waves 1 to 3 (1995-2015) of the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study (N = 2,507). Structural equation models examine whether long-term rural living across both waves (1-2) or intermittent rural living at one wave is associated with better cognitive function over 20 years, compared to no rural living, while controlling for prior cognitive function and covariates (baseline socio-demographics, health, and functional status). Additionally, we assessed if optimism mediates the above associations. Results: After controlling for covariates, long-term rural living (waves 1-2) was indirectly (through less optimism) associated with significantly lower levels of cognitive executive function and episodic memory in wave 3. Conclusions: While long-term rural living and cognitive outcomes have no direct association for MIDUS middle-aged and older adults, mediating roles of optimism in these associations were evident. Future investigations could examine mechanisms that underlie these risk/protective factors on late-life cognition.

The Importance of Zero-Deficiency Complaints in Nursing Homes: A Mere Consequence or Serious Concern?

Complaints represent an important metric for assessing the quality of nursing home (NH) care. Using the Automated Survey Processing Environment (ASPEN) Complaints/Incidents Tracking System dataset (2017), we examined the relationships between zero-deficiency complaints (ZDCs) and zero-deficiency substantiated complaints (ZDSCs) and the proportion of residents with dementia. NHs (N = 15,339) were separated into three groups-proportion of residents with dementia in the top, two middle, and the bottom quartiles. Negative binomial regressions assessed zero-deficiency complaint patterns in relation to NHs' proportion of residents with dementia, controlling for facility characteristics, staffing, and racial pattern. We reported average marginal effects (AMEs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). NHs in the top quartile yielded higher numbers of both ZDC (AME = .189, 95% CI: .102-.276, p < .001) and ZDSC (AME = .236, 95% CI: .094-.378, p = .001), than NHs in the bottom quartile. Results suggest a need for more uniform investigation processes and staff training to promote a more valid complaint process for residents with dementia.

Impact of Mild Behavioral Impairment on Longitudinal Changes in Cognition.

BACKGROUND: To examine cross-sectional differences and longitudinal changes in cognitive performance based on the presence of mild behavioral impairment (MBI) among older adults who are cognitively healthy or have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). METHODS: Secondary data analysis of participants (n = 17 291) who were cognitively healthy (n = 11 771) or diagnosed with MCI (n = 5 520) from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center database. Overall, 24.7% of the sample met the criteria for MBI. Cognition was examined through a neuropsychological battery that assessed attention, episodic memory, executive function, language, visuospatial ability, and processing speed. RESULTS: Older adults with MBI, regardless of whether they were cognitively healthy or diagnosed with MCI, performed significantly worse at baseline on tasks for attention, episodic memory, executive function, language, and processing speed and exhibited greater longitudinal declines on tasks of attention, episodic memory, language, and processing speed. Cognitively healthy older adults with MBI performed significantly worse than those who were cognitively healthy without MBI on tasks of visuospatial ability at baseline and on tasks of processing speed across time. Older adults with MCI and MBI performed significantly worse than those with only MCI on executive function at baseline and visuospatial ability and processing speed tasks across time. CONCLUSIONS: This study found evidence that MBI is related to poorer cognitive performance cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Additionally, those with MBI and MCI performed worse across multiple tasks of cognition both cross-sectionally and across time. These results provide support for MBI being uniquely associated with different aspects of cognition.

Do nursing homes with a higher proportion of residents with dementia have greater or fewer complaints?

Objectives: Nursing home (NH) residents' capacity to communicate deteriorates with dementia. Consequently, NHs with high proportions of people living with dementia (PLWD) may receive fewer resident complaints, and/or investigating complaints may be challenging. We assessed NHs' proportion of PLWD in relation to total and substantiated complaints. Methods: Data were from the ASPEN Complaints/Incident Tracking System and the Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (2017). NHs (N = 15,499) were categorized based on high (top-10%), medium (middle-80%), and low (bottom-10%) dementia prevalence. Negative binomial Poisson regression assessed complaint patterns in relation to NHs' high/low (vs. medium) proportions of PLWD and other facility/resident characteristics. Results: Compared to NHs with medium-dementia prevalence, NHs with low proportions of PLWD had higher total (average marginal effect [AME] = 0.16, p < 0.001) and substantiated (AME = 0.30, p < 0.001) complaints, whereas NHs with high proportions of PLWD had fewer total (AME= -0.07; p < 0.05) and substantiated (AME= -0.11, p < 0.05) complaints. Also, NHs' profit status, chain-affiliation, size, staffing, and resident ethnicity were associated with total and substantiated complaints. Conclusion: The association between high proportions of PLWD and lower NH complaints suggests either that these NHs have higher overall quality or that complaints are underreported. Regardless, surveyors and families may need more involvement in monitoring higher dementia prevalence facilities.

Protective roles of meditation practice and self-esteem on cognitive functions over time: findings from the Midlife in the United States study.

BACKGROUND: Cognitive function is an important component of healthy ageing. However, it is unclear whether relaxation/meditation practices provide cognitive benefits, particularly in midlife and early late life. Meditative practices are associated with higher self-esteem, and self-esteem serves as a general protective factor for many health outcomes. The current study examines associations between meditation practice, self-esteem, and change over 10 years in midlife cognitive performance. METHODS: Data were from waves 2 (2003-2004) and 3 (2013-2014) of the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study. We used structural equation modelling to examine whether persistent meditation practice at both waves or episodic practice at one wave is associated with better cognitive function over 10 years, compared to no meditation practice, while controlling for prior cognitive function and covariates (baseline socio-demographics, health, and functional status). Additionally, we assessed if self-esteem mediates the above associations. RESULTS: We included 2168 individuals (Mage = 65 ± 11). After controlling for covariates, the findings revealed that persistent meditation practice in both waves was associated with significantly less decline in episodic memory; however, no such effects were found for executive function. Further, although participants' higher self-esteem was significantly associated with less decline in executive function and episodic memory, it did not mediate the associations between meditation practice and cognitive functions. CONCLUSIONS: While both persistent meditation practice and self-esteem have associations with cognitive outcomes for middle-aged and older adults in MIDUS, self-esteem as a mediator was not supported. Thus, future investigations should examine mechanisms that underlie these protective factors on cognitive performances across adulthood.

Consumer Complaints in Nursing Homes: Analyzing Substantiated Single-Allegation Complaints to Deficiency Citations.

Complaints provide important information to consumers about nursing homes (NHs), but how substantiated complaints map onto deficiency citations is unknown. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between substantiated complaints and deficiency citations. Federally collected NH complaint and inspection records were obtained to identify all single allegation, substantiated complaints for NHs across the U.S. in 2017. Overall, the 369 complaint allegations in our sample resulted in a total of 585 deficiencies at the inspection stage; however, 35.2% of the allegations led to no deficiencies. Nearly two-thirds of the 369 substantiated single allegation complaints were categorized at the intake stage as quality of care (31.7%), resident abuse (17.3%), or resident neglect (14.1%). Further, 18% of the inspection deficiencies originated with complaint allegations that were prioritized as immediate jeopardy at intake, but of these, 71.4% were determined upon inspection to constitute "no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm." These results provide evidence that complaints have the potential to provide unique valuable information on NH quality of care and draw regulatory attention to consumers' concerns. Future studies should include qualitative research concerning complaint processes by conducting interviews/surveys of complainants, NH staff/administrators, long-term care ombudsmen, and state officials.

Does Perceived Generativity Mediate the Association Between Optimism and Cognitive Function Over Time? Findings from Midlife in the United States Study.

Cognitive function is a vital component of healthy aging. However, whether a persistently high optimism benefits late-life cognitive function is debatable. The current study examined associations between high optimism status, perceived generativity, and cognitive functions across adulthood. Data were from waves 2 and 3 (2004-14) of the Midlife in the United States study. We used structural equation modeling to examine whether participants' (N = 2,205; Mage = 65 ± 11) persistent high optimism predicts better cognitive functions over time, compared to high optimism at only one time-point or not at all while controlling for covariates; we also examined whether individuals' perceived generativity mediates the above association. The findings revealed that persistent high optimism was significantly associated with better episodic memory and executive function. Further, perceived generativity positively mediated the association between persistent high optimism and episodic memory. Future research should examine mechanisms for potential aspects of high optimism and perceived generativity on late-life cognitive performances.

The Healthy Caregiver? A Positive Impact of Informal Caregiving Status on Cognitive Functions Over Time From the Midlife in the United States Study.

OBJECTIVES: The current study examined whether informal caregivers performed worse, better, or similar to non-caregivers on cognitive tests of executive functioning and episodic memory over 10 years. Methods: Data were from waves 2 (2003-04) and 3 (2013-14) of the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study (N = 2086). Multiple linear regression models examined whether caregiving at both waves 2 and 3 predicted better cognitive functioning at wave 3, than caregiving at only one time point or no caregiving (reference) while controlling for baseline covariates (i.e., sociodemographic, health, and functional status). RESULTS: After controlling for covariates, caregiving at both waves was independently associated with better performance in episodic memory (b = .24, SE = .10, p = .013) but not executive function (b = -.06, SE = .05, p = .246). Discussion:The findings partially supported both healthy caregiver and stress process models, indicating caregiving may be associated with better episodic memory but not executive functioning over time among the middle-aged and older adults.

Trends in Nursing Home Complaints: Prevalence and Variation Across Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Regions.

Resident complaints are vital to understanding nursing home (NH) quality. Using complaints as facility- and resident-level outcomes, this study replicates prior analyses (spanning 1998-2002 and 2007-2012) with 2013-2017 data, the phase prior to NH regulatory changes initiated in November, 2017. Advancing prior papers, we analyze the number of complaints, allegations, and deficiency citations separately. Between 2013-2017, 458,101 total complaints (5.9/NH/year) were identified, containing 949,466 allegations (12.2/NH/year), and resulting in the issuance of 156,135 deficiency citations (2.0/NH/year) in about 15,600 NHs across the country. Regarding the number of complaints, substantiated complaints, and deficiency citations, results show a steady increase compared to previous years. Furthermore, there are marked differences among the CMS survey regions on the prevalence of overall complaints, substantiated complaints, and deficiency citations. However, the average rate of substantiation of complaint allegations shows a decreasing trend over these years, suggesting that complaints may have increased due to higher care expectations.

Creating age-friendly nursing homes: The time is now.

The current global age-friendly movement supports older adults by promoting different policies and services. However, there is a dearth of attention to nursing home (NH) residents as part of age-friendly movements. The pioneering idea of an age-friendly health system, i.e., the "4 Ms" model is significant for NHs and formative for further developments; however, it does not identify unique components of NH care. This article aims to identify specific aspects of person-centered care in the literature to advance the development of a standardized conceptual framework. Along with residents, NH staff and administrators are integral parts of NHs. Incorporating the central role of caregivers, this study proposes a new "8 Ms" framework to describe the age-friendly NH. The traditional 4 Ms model notes that everything related to care matters to residents, along with care related to medication, mobility, and mentation. The proposed age-friendly framework introduces five additional "M," i.e., meaningful care, motivation, moderation, modification, and monitoring. This framework is proposed to advance education, training, clinical practice, research, and advocacy to promote quality of care in NHs. Application of the 8 Ms framework may yield multiple benefits, assuring good quality of care to residents, caregivers' job satisfaction, and supporting NH management in providing residents optimal care.

Longevity is not an ingredient of successful aging as self-reported by community-dwelling older adults: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVES: There has been a long-standing debate in gerontology about what constitutes successful aging (SA). This scoping review investigated older adults' perspectives on longevity as part of SA to promote developing a standardized conceptual model. METHOD: The current review followed the JBI methodological guidelines and used Rowe & Kahn's SA framework and Baltes' selection, optimization, and compensation model as the foundational theoretical framework. Five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Web of Science) were searched using specific inclusion criteria (participants, concept, and context) to identify original studies that evaluated SA. RESULTS: Eighteen studies, including 9,360 individuals (aged 60 years and older), were selected. Main indicators involved six primary domains: Psychological, physical, social, environmental, spiritual, and behavioral. Physical activity, basic aspects of wellbeing, positive outlook, satisfaction with life, interpersonal relationship, participation in meaningful activities, and financial security emerged as the most important factors. The findings suggest that older adults do not consider longevity a primary component of SA. CONCLUSION: We identified multidimensional self-reported SA components without longevity being emphasized, guiding further improvement of older adults' wellbeing. The study outlines an updated conceptual framework that can be applied to real-life scenarios to test how older adults can best adapt to the challenges of aging.

Abuse and Neglect in Nursing Homes: The Role of Serious Mental Illness.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Nursing homes (NHs) are serving a large number of residents with serious mental illness (SMI). We analyze the highest ("High SMI") quartile of NHs based on the proportion of residents with SMI and compare NHs on health deficiencies and the incidence of deficiencies given for resident abuse, neglect, and involuntary seclusion. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We used national Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports data for all freestanding certified NHs in the continental United States from 2014 to 2017 (14,698 NHs; 41,717 recertification inspections; 246,528 deficiencies). Differences in the number of deficiencies, a weighted deficiency score, the deficiency grade, and the facility characteristics associated with deficiencies for abuse, neglect, and involuntary seclusion were examined in High SMI. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and odds ratios (ORs) were reported with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: High-SMI NHs did not receive more deficiencies or a greater weighted deficiency score per recertification inspection. Deficiencies given to High-SMI NHs were associated with a wider scope, especially Pattern (IRR: 1.03 [1.00, 1.07]) and Widespread (IRR: 1.07 [1.02, 1.11]). High-SMI NHs were more likely to be cited for resident abuse and neglect (OR: 1.49 [1.23, 1.81]) and the policies to prohibit and monitor for abuse and neglect (OR: 1.18 [1.08, 1.30]) in comparison to all other NHs. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Although resident abuse, neglect, and involuntary seclusion are rarely cited, these deficiencies are disproportionately found in High-SMI NHs. Further work is needed to disentangle the antecedents to potential resident abuse and neglect in those with mental health care needs.

Factors Associated With Assisted Living Facility Closure.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Assisted living facilities (ALFs) have experienced rapid growth in the past few decades. The expansion in the number of ALFs may cause markets to become oversaturated, and a greater risk of unprofitable ALFs to close. However, no studies have investigated ALF closure. This study adapted a model developed for the nursing home market for the ALF market to examine the organizational, internal, and external factors associated with closure. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Data on 1,939 ALFs operating in 2013 from Florida were used to estimate a logistic regression to examine the organizational, internal, and external factors that were associated with closure between 2013 and 2015. RESULTS: During the 2-year study period, 141 ALFs (7.3%) closed. Significant factors associated with increased odds of closure included fewer beds, not accepting Medicaid, and more deficiencies. Two factors (market concentration and population density) were marginally significant. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study confirm the usefulness of a model that includes organizational, internal, and external factors to predict ALF closure. These outcomes highlight the concerns that closure can affect access to community-based long-term care, especially for rural older adults, and indicate an expansion of Medicaid acceptance in ALFs could be protective against closure.

Self-Reported Satisfaction of Older Adult Residents in Nursing Homes: Development of a Conceptual Framework.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Resident satisfaction is an integral part of nursing home (NH) quality of care. However, there is no uniform categorization framework to classify the self-reported satisfaction of older adult residents in NHs. This scoping review systematically investigated the studies reporting data on older residents' satisfaction to evaluate the quality of NH service and to create a conceptual model for older residents' satisfaction. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We used Donabedian's structure-process-outcome model as a theoretical framework. In 3 electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL), potential studies were searched using specific inclusion criteria identifying original studies that investigated older adult residents' satisfaction in NHs. RESULTS: Fifteen studies, including 264,133 residents and 15,577 NHs, were selected for this review. Although a wide variety of resident satisfaction measures were used in the included studies, all these indicators reflect 5 primary domains: psychological, clinical, social, environmental, and spiritual, with the common focus of improving the quality of life of residents. Though technical competence is a fundamental aspect of health care service, we found autonomy, environment, meaningful activities, and interpersonal quality of professionals as the most important predictors for the resident's satisfaction. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: The current review has synthesized a broad range of satisfaction measures, which will help future researchers and policymakers provide guidance for further improvement of NH care services and as a heuristic device to spur research. Additional research is needed to apply this conceptual framework for comparisons of self-reported resident satisfaction in other institutional settings across countries.

Cognitive Function and Sleep in Caregivers of Persons Living with Dementia.

Poor sleep is prevalent among caregivers of persons living with dementia and increases their risk for cognitive impairment and decline. In this cross-sectional, correlational study, we compared the cognitive function scores of caregivers with poor sleep with the demographically adjusted normed scores of the National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery. Caregivers completed a 14-day sleep diary. On average, caregivers (n = 28) were 65.14 (±10.08) years, female, and White. Their average crystallized cognitive function composite score was significantly higher and their average fluid cognitive function composite score was significantly lower than the normative scores. Caregivers performed significantly worse on the processing speed domain measure. Poor sleep may affect how caregivers, including highly educated caregivers, process and respond to information, thus can influence how they safely perform complex caregiving tasks. Health care providers should consistently assess caregivers' sleep and cognitive abilities to promptly identify changes and provide timely interventions.

Views of wheelchair users and caregivers regarding a passive safety monitoring system for electric powered wheelchair operators with cognitive impairment.

The opinions of cognitively intact current wheelchair users and their professional caregivers were solicited to explore acceptability of the concept of a passive electric wheelchair-mounted movement monitor to track driving safety and cognitive impairment. Two focus groups of electric wheelchair users (N = 9), and two focus groups of staff caregivers (N = 8) were conducted at a congregate care facility. Participants also completed a questionnaire examining their perceptions of the concept. The results indicated most wheelchair users and staff caregivers were receptive to the idea of a passive safety monitoring system for wheelchairs to detect cognitive impairment. Three main and interrelated themes emerged regarding how the device could promote safety, how such a system might infringe upon the users' autonomy, and how and to whom the cognitive state information should be communicated. Legal, training, and marketing issues reflected similar concerns over balancing autonomy with safety issues. If successfully addressed, it appears there would be support for the device's use not only for older adults in institutional settings, but perhaps also among community living younger and older adults. A passive safety monitoring system for wheelchairs is acceptable to wheelchair users and can be successfully marketed if developers balance autonomy and safety concerns.

Psychologists in Long-Term Care (PLTC) Guidelines for Psychological and Behavioral Health Services in Long-Term Care Settings.

To address concerns about limited training of psychologists working in long-term care (LTC) facilities, the Psychologists in Long-Term Care (PLTC) organization published Standards for Psychological Services in Long-Term Care Facilities (Lichtenberg et al., 1998). The expanding evidence base for knowledge and skills, the increasing diversity of LTC residents, and the complexity of presenting problems have compounded the guidance psychologists need when providing services in this setting. In this article, the PLTC Guidelines Revision Task Force presents PLTC guidelines based on the original prescriptive PLTC Standards. The content of the PLTC Standards was updated and the format changed from prescriptive standards to aspirational guidelines. We begin with general guidelines regarding knowledge and skills in LTC (education and training. understanding of LTC systems. end-of-life care), followed by specific guidelines covering the basic psychological service activities in LTC (referral, assessment, treatment, ethical issues, and advocacy). The PLTC Guidelines are designed to provide direction for psychologists who work, or plan to work, in LTC and to guide continuing education pursuits.

Prevalence of psychotropic polypharmacy in nursing home residents with dementia: a meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVES: Nursing home (NH) residents with dementia is exposed to high rates of psychotropic prescriptions. Our objectives were to: (1) pool the prevalence estimates of psychotropic polypharmacy from the existing literature and (2) examine potentially influential factors that are related to a higher or lower prevalence. DESIGN: Meta-analysis of data collected from randomized trials, quasi-experimental, prospective or retrospective cohort, and cross-sectional studies. English-language searches of PubMed and PsycINFO were completed by November 2020. Included studies reported prevalence estimates of psychotropic polypharmacy (i.e. defined as either two-or-more or three-or-more medications concurrently) in NH residents with dementia. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: NH residents with dementia. MEASUREMENTS: Random-effects models were used to pool the prevalence of psychotropic polypharmacy in NH residents with dementia across studies. Estimates were provided for both two-or-more and three-or-more concurrent medications. Heterogeneity and publication bias were measured. Meta-regression examined the influence of the percentage of the sample who were male, mean age of the sample, geographic region (continent), sample size, and study year on the prevalence of psychotropic polypharmacy. RESULTS: Twenty-five unique articles were included comprising medications data from 92,370 NH residents with dementia in 12 countries. One-in-three (33%, [95% CI: 28%, 39%]) NH residents with dementia received two-or-more psychotropic medications concurrently. One-in-eight (13%, [95% CI: 10%, 17%]) received three-or-more psychotropic medications concurrently. Estimates were highly variable across both definitions of psychotropic polypharmacy (p < 0.001). Among study-level demographics, geographic region, sample size, or study year, only male sex was associated with greater use of two-or-more psychotropic medications (Unadjusted OR = 1.02, p = 0.006; Adjusted OR = 1.04, p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS: Psychotropic polypharmacy is common among NH residents with dementia. Identifying the causes of utilization and the effects on resident health and well-being should be prioritized by federal entities seeking to improve NH quality.
