Older working adults in the Heaf study are more likely to report loneliness after two years of follow-up if they have negative perceptions of their work quality
Loneliness amongst middle-aged working adults is not predicted by permanent work exit but is predicted by individuals' perceptions about their work. Provision of good-quality work, matched to the capacity of the older worker, could prevent loneliness
Body Mass Index (BMI) and Work Ability in Older Workers
This study explores associations between BMI and prolonged sickness absence; cutting down at work; and health-related job loss (HRJL) over two years of follow-up among workers aged ≥50 years. A cohort of 2299 men and 2425 women (aged 50-64 years) self-reported height and weight at baseline and provided information about work ability at 12 and 24 months for the Health and Employment after Fifty (HEAF) Study. Associations between BMI and work abili…
Understanding poor health behaviours as predictors of different types of hospital admission in older people
BACKGROUND: Rates of hospital admission are increasing, particularly among older people. Poor health behaviours cluster but their combined impact on risk of hospital admission among older people in the UK is unknown. METHODS: 2997 community-dwelling men and women (aged 59-73) participated in the Hertfordshire Cohort Study (HCS). We scored (from 0 to 4) number of poor health behaviours engaged in at baseline (1998-2004) out of: current smoking, hi…
A review of the measurement of grip strength in clinical and epidemiological studies
BACKGROUND: the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People has developed a clinical definition of sarcopenia based on low muscle mass and reduced muscle function (strength or performance). Grip strength is recommended as a good simple measure of muscle strength when 'measured in standard conditions'. However, standard conditions remain to be defined. METHODS: a literature search was conducted to review articles describing the measuremen…
P28 Patterns of dietary supplement use among older men and women
Setting Use of dietary supplements has increased over recent decades in the UK. Although dietary supplement use has been described in a number of populations we know little about patterns of supplement use in older people. Objective The objectives of this study were to describe dietary supplement use in the Hertfordshire Cohort Study (HCS), to determine patterns of supplement use, and to investigate the extent to which supplement user groups diff…
Social Inequalities in Grip Strength, Physical Function, and Falls Among Community Dwelling Older Men and Women
Objectives. To explore social inequalities in grip strength, SF-36 physical functioning (PF), and falls among older people. Methods. We analyzed data from 3,225 men and women (age 59-73 years) who participated in the Hertfordshire Cohort Study, United Kingdom. Car availability and home ownership were used as markers of material deprivation. Results. A total of 6.4% of men (17.7% women) had no car and 19.3% of men (23.1% women) did not own their h…
Association of adult height and leg length with fasting plasma cortisol concentrations
We have evaluated the relationship between activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and adult height in adults recruited from the UK Hertfordshire Cohort Study. In a sample of 1,354 individuals, we found that height fell by 0.67 cm (95% CI 0.34-1.0) per SD (114 nmol/l) increase in fasting plasma cortisol concentrations. The association was continuous across the range of cortisol concentrations and was independent of the levels of…
