    This study aimed to identify dominant comorbidity patterns among women cancer survivors and examine how these patterns relate to health-related quality of life (HRQL). 1544 participants (born 1946–1951) from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health diagnosed with cancer during the follow-up period from 1993 to 2019 were included.

  • Physical activity and functional disability among older adults in Ghana

    Open AccessKofi Awuviry‐newton, Mary Amponsah et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Knowledge about how physical activity levels relate to functional disability is essential for health promotion and planning older adults’ care or rehabilitation. The risk of living with one or more chronic health conditions increases with increasing age in lower and higher income countries–many of which are associated with physical inactivity. We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the moderating role of multimorbidity on physical activi…

The result of the multivariable logistic regression showed providing care, living alone, volunteering, living in rural/outer regional Australia, having higher ed…

  • Housing and Care for Older Women in Australia

    Open AccessJulie E Byles, Julie Byles et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: Housing is essential for healthy ageing, being a source of shelter, purpose, and identity. As people age, and with diminishing physical and mental capacity, they become increasingly dependent on external supports from others and from their environment. In this paper we look at changes in housing across later life, with a focus on the relationship between housing and women's care needs. Methods: Data from 12,432 women in the 1921–26 co…

  • “They were all together … discussing the best options for me”

    Open AccessMelissa L Harris, Deniz Kuzulugil et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2020

    Over one-third of diabetes-related encounters with healthcare providers in Australia fail to meet clinical guidelines. Evidence is mounting that care provision within an integrated framework may facilitate greater adherence to clinical guidelines and improved outcomes for patients. The Diabetes Alliance Program was implemented across a large healthcare district to enhance diabetes care capacity at the primary care level through intensive case-con…

  • Air Pollution Increases Depression Risk Among Young Women

    Open AccessMichael Hendryx, Juhua Luo et al.ARTICLEEcopsychology2020

    Air pollution may contribute to depression risk, but prospective incidence studies of risks and resiliencies for young women have not been undertaken. We analyzed prospective cohort data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health combined with air pollution exposure data from the National Pollutant Inventory. We followed 7804 women without baseline depression who were aged 21–26 years at baseline for up to 14 years. Cox proportional…

  • I can be a mum or a professional, but not both”

    Open AccessJacqueline Coombe, Deborah Loxton et al.ARTICLEAustralian Journal of Social Issues2019Citada por: 5Referencias: 32

    Past research has identified the salience of the notion of “good motherhood” in countries such as Australia, where women are expected to invest significant time and energy, often through self‐sacrifice, to raise their children. We analysed free‐text comments provided in response to an open‐ended question from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health ( ALSWH ) to examine whether the discourse of “good motherhood” played any role in how …

  • Back to my old self and life restarting

    Open AccessCassie Curryer, Mel Gray et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sociology2018Referencias: 10

    Drawing on free-text survey comments from the Australian Longitudinal Study of Women’s Health (ALSWH), this article explores themes of transition and change in the lives of 150 women baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1951) in relation to Beck’s theories of the risk society, reflexive modernisation and individualisation. Few studies have explicitly explored ageing through Beck’s theoretical lenses. However, Beck’s emphasis on interactional proce…

  • Dietary pattern transitions, and the associations with BMI, waist circumference, weight and hypertension in a 7-year follow-up among the older Chinese population

    Open AccessXiaoyue Xu, Julie Byles et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    We elucidate the associations between dietary pattern and change in BMI, Wt, WC and hypertension in a 7-year follow-up study. The strong association between favourable body composition and traditional diet, compared with an increase in BMI, WC and Wt with modern diet suggests that there is an urgent need to develop age-specific dietary guideline for older Chinese people
