The contribution of health behaviors to socioeconomic inequalities in health
Socioeconomic status and the 25 × 25 risk factors as determinants of premature mortality
Health-risk behaviour among residents in deprived neighbourhoods compared with those of the general population in Denmark
Public pensions and unmet medical need among older people
BACKGROUND: Since the onset of the Great Recession in Europe, unmet need for medical care has been increasing, especially in persons aged 65 or older. It is possible that public pensions buffer access to healthcare in older persons during times of economic crisis, but to our knowledge, this has not been tested empirically in Europe. METHODS: We integrated panel data on 16 European countries for years 2004-2010 with indicators of public pension, u…
Forecasting differences in life expectancy by education
Forecasts of life expectancy (LE) have fuelled debates about the sustainability and dependability of pension and healthcare systems. Of relevance to these debates are inequalities in LE by education. In this paper, we present a method of forecasting LE for different educational groups within a population. As a basic framework we use the Li-Lee model that was developed to forecast mortality coherently for different groups. We adapted this model to…
Do employment protection policies reduce the relative disadvantage in the labour market experienced by unhealthy people? A natural experiment created by the Great Recession in Europe
Influence of Maternal and Child Lifestyle-Related Characteristics on the Socioeconomic Inequality in Overweight and Obesity among 5-year-old Children; The “Be Active, Eat Right” Study
It is unclear whether the socioeconomic inequality in prevalence of overweight and obesity is already present among very young children. This study investigates the association between overweight and socioeconomic status (SES, with maternal educational level as an indicator of SES) among 5-year-old children. This cross-sectional study uses baseline data from 5-year-olds of Dutch ethnicity (n = 5,582) and their mothers collected for the "Be active…
Genetic, Physiological, and Lifestyle Predictors of Mortality in the General Population
Objectives. We investigated the quality of 162 variables, focusing on the contribution of genetic markers, used solely or in combination with other characteristics, when predicting mortality. Methods. In 5974 participants from the Rotterdam Study, followed for a median of 15.1 years, 7 groups of factors including age and gender, genetics, socioeconomics, lifestyle, physiological characteristics, prevalent diseases, and indicators of general healt…
Promoting STI testing among senior vocational students in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Despite a low dose of intervention that was received by the students and a high attrition, we were able to show an intervention effect among sexually experienced students on STI testing. This study confirmed our hypothesis that offering health education to vocational students in combination with sexual health services at school sites is more effective in enhancing STI testing than offering services or education only
Can Reporting Heterogeneity Explain Differences in Depressive Symptoms Across Europe
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability in the developed world. Previous studies have shown varying depression prevalence rates between European countries, and also within countries, between socioeconomic groups. However, it is unclear whether these differences reflect true variations in prevalence or whether they are attributable to systematic differences in reporting styles (reporting heterogeneity) between countries and socioecon…
Cultural tailoring for the promotion of Hepatitis B screening in Turkish Dutch
The Netherlands National Trial Register NTR 2394
High Health Care Utilization and Costs Associated with Lower Socio-economic Status
Daily Smoking in Saskatoon
The contribution of job characteristics to socioeconomic inequalities in incidence of myocardial infarction
Depression and socio-economic risk factors
BACKGROUND: Low socio-economic status is associated with a higher prevalence of depression, but it is not yet known whether change in socio-economic status leads to a change in rates of depression. AIMS: To assess whether longitudinal change in socio-economic factors affects change of depression level. METHOD: In a prospective cohort study using the annual Belgian Household Panel Survey (1992-1999), depression was assessed using the Global Depres…
Variations in the pace of old-age mortality decline in seven European countries, 1950–1999
The effects of ill health on entering and maintaining paid employment
Objectives: To examine the effects of ill health on selection into paid employment in European countries. Methods: Five annual waves (1994–8) of the European Community Household Panel were used to select two populations: (1) 4446 subjects unemployed for at least 2 years, of which 1590 (36%) subjects found employment in the next year, and (2) 57 436 subjects employed for at least 2 years, of which 6191 (11%) subjects left the workforce in the next…
Socio-economic inequalities in suicide
BACKGROUND: Social factors have been shown to be predictors of suicide. It is not known whether these factors vary between countries. AIMS: To present a first European overview of socio-economic inequalities in suicide mortality among men and women. METHOD: We used a prospective follow-up of censuses matched with vital statistics in ten European populations. Directly standardised rates of suicide were computed for each country. RESULTS: In men, a…
