  • Life course exposure to work strain and cognitive disparities by race and ethnicity

    Open Access•Mara Getz Sheftel, N Goldman et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2025

    There is a well-documented association between exposure to occupational strain and adverse older adult cognition. However, limited research examines differences in this association by race and ethnicity despite considerable disparities in older adult cognition and occupational segregation in the U.S. Using work history data from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS), we construct comprehensive measures of exposure to occupational strain over…

  • Examining Work Temporality Across the U.S. Latino Population by Nativity and Citizenship

  • Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Functional Limitations Among U.S.-born Older Adults

    Open Access•Sung S Park, Anne R Pebley et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2025•Referencias: 101

    Work is an important contributor to racial and ethnic disparities in health across the life course. Because functional limitations at older ages are associated with accumulated physical wear and tear throughout life, investigating work-related mechanisms that differentially expose Black and Hispanic Americans to difficult material circumstances over time is an important step toward understanding these disparities. Using a new data source of lifet…

  • Unequal Exposure to Occupational Stress across the Life Course

    Open Access•Mara Getz Sheftel, N Goldman et al.•ARTICLE•Socius Sociological Research for…•2024•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 53

    Work, a segregated social context in the United States, may be an important source of differential exposure to stress by race/ethnicity, but existing research does not systematically describe variation in exposure to occupational stress by race/ethnicity. Using work history data from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study and occupational-level measures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Occupational Information Network, the authors docume…

  • Racial, Ethnic, and Immigrant Generational Disparities in Physically Strenuous and Hazardous Work Conditions

    Open Access•Gabino J Abarca Nava, Anne R Pebley•ARTICLE•Journal of Immigrant and Minority…•2023

    Despite the importance of work in adult life, research on the social determinants of health often ignores its effects. We examine race/ethnic, immigrant generational, and gender differentials in exposure to work conditions associated with poor health outcomes, using a nationally-representative sample of adults. On average, Latino 1st generation workers are more exposed to strenuous and hazardous work conditions than other workers, even after adju…

  • Cognitive Health Disparities by Race and Ethnicity

    Open Access•Mara Getz Sheftel, N Goldman et al.•ARTICLE•Work Aging and Retirement•2023•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 19

    Disparities in older age cognitive health by race/ethnicity persist even after controlling for individual-level indicators of childhood and adult socioeconomic status. High levels of labor market segregation mean that Black and Latino workers, on average, may not have the same exposure to jobs involving complex work with data and people as their White counterparts, aspects of work that appear to be protective of older adult cognition. However, th…

  • Racial and ethnic differentials in Covid-19-related job exposures by occupational standing in the US

    Open Access•N Goldman, Anne R Pebley et al.•ARTICLE•PLoS ONE•2021

    Researchers and journalists have argued that work-related factors may be partly responsible for disproportionate COVID-19 infection and death rates among vulnerable groups. We evaluate these issues by describing racial and ethnic differences in the likelihood of work-related exposure to COVID-19. We extend previous studies by considering 12 racial and ethnic groups and five types of potential occupational exposure to the virus: exposure to infect…

  • Physical Work Exposures of Older Workers

    Open Access•Theresa Andrasfay, Anne R Pebley et al.•ARTICLE•Work Aging and Retirement•2021•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 1

    Physically demanding work at later ages, which is especially prevalent among disadvantaged groups, is associated with long-term health outcomes and may contribute to health inequality over the life course. Past studies of these issues have relied on occupational characteristics from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), but few have assessed how O*NET compares to survey reports when measuring occupational exposures in analyses of socioeco…

  • Precarious Childhoods

    Open Access•Siwei Cheng, Kyriaki Kosidou et al.•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2020

    The rise of income volatility in western countries has been extensively documented in the literature, but empirical research has just started to examine how childhood exposure to family income volatility affects subsequent wellbeing. This study takes advantage of several nation-wide, population registers from Sweden with linkages within and across generations to examine the intergenerational impact of childhood family income volatility on psychia…

  • Calloused hands, shorter life? Occupation and older-age survival in Mexico

    Open Access•Hiram Beltran-Sanchez, N Goldman et al.•ARTICLE•Demographic Research•2020•Referencias: 24

    BACKGROUND: Inequalities in mortality are often attributed to socioeconomic differences in education level, income, and wealth. Low socioeconomic status (SES) is generally related to worse health and survival across the life course. Yet, disadvantaged people are also more likely to hold jobs requiring heavy physical labor, repetitive movement, ergonomic strain, and safety hazards. OBJECTIVE: We examine the link between primary lifetime occupation…

  • Longitudinal determinants of married women’s autonomy in Egypt

    Goleen Samari, Anne R Pebley•ARTICLE•Gender Place & Culture•2018•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 12

    This article explores determinants of women's autonomy in Egypt around the beginning of the 'Arab Spring' in 2011. We show that women's autonomy over time is a product not only of their individual characteristics, but also of the household and community environment in which they live. Using the 2006 and 2012 Egyptian Labor Market Panel Survey (ELMPS) and multilevel models, results demonstrate that women's autonomy changes over time. There are lar…

  • Sequential Neighborhood Effects

    Open Access•Andrew L Hicks, Mark S Handcock et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2018•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 59

    Prior research has suggested that children living in a disadvantaged neighborhood have lower achievement test scores, but these studies typically have not estimated causal effects that account for neighborhood choice. Recent studies used propensity score methods to account for the endogeneity of neighborhood exposures, comparing disadvantaged and nondisadvantaged neighborhoods. We develop an alternative propensity function approach in which cumul…

  • Links between primary occupation and functional limitations among older adults in Mexico

    Open Access•Hiram Beltran-Sanchez, Anne R Pebley et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2017

    Social inequalities in health and disability are often attributed to differences in childhood adversity, access to care, health behavior, residential environments, stress, and the psychosocial aspects of work environments. Yet, disadvantaged people are also more likely to hold jobs requiring heavy physical labor, repetitive movement, ergonomic strain, and safety hazards. We investigate the role of physical work conditions in contributing to socia…

  • The unhealthy food environment does not modify the association between obesity and participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Los Angeles County

    Open Access•M Pia Chaparro, Gail G Harrison et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2017

    SNAP participation was associated with higher odds of obesity in our primarily Hispanic sample in Los Angeles County, with no effect modification found for the unhealthy portion of the food environment. More research is needed with additional food environment measures to confirm our null findings. Additional research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms linking SNAP participation and obesity as they remain unclear

  • Association between income trajectories in childhood and psychiatric disorder

    Emma Björkenstam, Siwei Cheng et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2017•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 33

    BACKGROUND: Childhood family income variation is an understudied aspect of households' economic context that may have distinct consequences for children. We identified trajectories of childhood family income over a 12-year period, and examined associations between these trajectories and later psychiatric disorders, among individuals born in Sweden between 1987 and 1991 (n=534 294). METHODS: We used annual income data between the ages of 3-14 year…

  • The effect of adult children living in the United States on the likelihood of cognitive impairment for older parents living in Mexico

    Brian Downer, César González-González et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicity and Health•2016

    In summary, having one or more adult children living in the United States was associated with characteristics that may increase and decrease the risk for cognitive impairment. This may contribute to the non-significant relationship between migration status of adult children and likelihood for cognitive impairment for older parents living in Mexico

    Open Access•E Arenas, N Goldman et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2015•Citada por: 40•Referencias: 32

    We use data from three rounds of the Mexican Family Life Survey to examine whether migrants in the United States returning to Mexico in the period 2005–2012 have worse health than those remaining in the United States. Despite extensive interest by demographers in health-related selection, this has been a neglected area of study in the literature on U.S.-Mexico migration, and the few results to date have been contradictory and inconclusive.

  • The Consequences of Migration to the United States for Short-Term Changes in the Health of Mexican Immigrants

    Open Access•N Goldman, Anne R Pebley et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2014•Citada por: 16•Referencias: 37

    Although many studies have attempted to examine the consequences of Mexico-U.S. migration for Mexican immigrants’ health, few have had adequate data to generate the appropriate comparisons. In this article, we use data from two waves of the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS) to compare the health of current migrants from Mexico with those of earlier migrants and nonmigrants. Because the longitudinal data permit us to examine short-term changes in…

  • Redefining Neighborhoods Using Common Destinations

    Open Access•Malia Jones, Anne R Pebley•ARTICLE•Demography•2014•Citada por: 55•Referencias: 56

    Research on neighborhood effects has focused largely on residential neighborhoods, but people are exposed to many other places in the course of their daily lives—at school, at work, when shopping, and so on. Thus, studies of residential neighborhoods consider only a subset of the social-spatial environment affecting individuals. In this article, we examine the characteristics of adults’ “activity spaces”—spaces defined by locations that individua…

  • Reducing high maternal mortality rates in western China

    Kunchok Gyaltsen, Lhusham Gyal et al.•ARTICLE•Reproductive Health Matters•2014•Referencias: 27

    Among the Millennium Development Goals, maternal mortality reduction has proven especially difficult to achieve. Unlike many countries, China is on track to meeting these goals on a national level, through a programme of institutionalizing deliveries. Nonetheless, in rural, disadvantaged, and ethnically diverse areas of western China, maternal mortality rates remain high. To reduce maternal mortality in western China, we developed and implemented…

    Open Access•Anne R Pebley, N Goldman et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•1996•Citada por: 70•Referencias: 14

    In this paper we investigate family choices about pregnancy-related care and the use of childhood immunization. Estimates obtained from a multilevel logistic model indicate that use of formal (or “modern ”) health services differs substantially by ethnicity, by social and economic factors, and by availability of health services. The results also show that family and community membership are very important determinants of the use of health care, e…

  • Socioeconomic Gradients in Health for White and Mexican-Origin Populations

    N Goldman, Rachel Kimbro et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2006•Citada por: 38•Referencias: 30

    Objectives. We assessed whether the few findings to date suggesting weak relationships between education and health-related variables among Hispanics are indicative of a more widespread pattern. Methods. We used logistic regression models to examine education differentials (i.e., education gradients) in health behaviors and outcomes among White and Mexican-origin adults, adolescents, and infants. We gathered information from 3 data sets: the Los …

  • Grandparents Caring for Grandchildren

    Open Access•Anne R Pebley, Laura L Rudkin et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•1999•Citada por: 37•Referencias: 30

    Approximately 5% to 6% of grandchildren and 10% of grandparents live in grandparent-grandchild households at any point in time. The proportion of children living with grandparents appears to have remained relatively stable over time. In this article, the authors critically review previous research on the determinants of grandparent care for grandchildren. This research suggests that grandparent care generally is precipitated by need or problems e…

  • Demography and the environment

    Open Access•Anne R Pebley•ARTICLE•Demography•1998•Citada por: 33•Referencias: 50

    Demographers' interest in the environment has generally been enmeshed in broader issues of population growth and economic development. Empirical research by demographers on environmental issues other than natural-resource constraints is limited. In this paper, I briefly review past demographic thinking about population and the environment and suggest reasons for the limited scope of demographic research in this area. Next, I describe more recent …

  • Birth spacing and child mortality in bangladesh and the Philippines

    Open Access•Jane Miller, Jane E Miller et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•1992•Citada por: 32•Referencias: 22

    This analysis uses data from Bangladesh and the Philippines to demonstrate that children who are born within 15 months of a preceding birth are 60 to 80% more likely than other children to die in the first two years of life, once the confounding effects of prematurity are removed. The risks associated with short conception intervals are confined to children who are also high birth order; they persist in the presence of controls for prior familial…

    In Latin America conjugal unions take two forms, legal marriages and consensual unions. The distinction between these two types of unions is complicated by the fact that cohabiting couples often legalize their relationship through civil or religious marriage. This analysis examines legalization in rural areas of Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Costa Rica based on data from the PECFAL rural survey (1969). The results indicate that legalization is freq…

    Open Access•N Goldman, Anne R Pebley et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•1984•Citada por: 2

    Life table calculations from survey data are frequently based on events for which exact dates are not available. When these dates are coded in monthly form (e.g., century months), estimates should take into account the fact that the first duration interval—the interval which captures events occurring in the first month of exposure—is half the length of all remaining intervals. Although failure to do so has a trivial effect on many demographic cal…

    Much of the evidence on the relationship of social, economic, and cultural factors to child mortality in developing countries comes from analyses of surveys, vital statistics, and censuses.1 A central finding of these studies has been the importance of maternal, and sometimes paternal, education in reducing a child's risk of dying, even when other socioeconomic and environmental variables are held constant. This result suggests that a welleducate…

Our results indicate that maternal age, birth order, and the length of the previous and following birth intervals all have a significant impact on the risk of child mortality and that these associations cannot be accounted …

    Kenneth Hill, Anne R Pebley•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•1989•Citada por: 22

    This article reexamines an important and controversial issue relating to the effect of current economic conditions and public health programs on trends in child mortality in the developing world. Several observers in the 1980s have suggested that there has been a major slowdown in the pace of mortality decline because living standards are not improving very rapidly and more recently because of structural-adjustment policies designed to cope with …

  • Birth spacing and infant mortality

    Open Access•Anne R Pebley, Albert I Hermalin et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Biosocial Science•1991

    Data from an historical population in which fertility control was minimal and modern health services were mostly unavailable are used to show that there appears to have been a strong association between previous birth interval length and infant mortality, especially when the previous child survived. Although only imperfect proxies for breast-feeding practices and other potentially confounding factors are available for this population, the results…

  • Birth spacing and child mortality in bangladesh and the Philippines

    Open Access•Jane Miller, Jane E Miller et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•1992•Citada por: 32•Referencias: 22

    This analysis uses data from Bangladesh and the Philippines to demonstrate that children who are born within 15 months of a preceding birth are 60 to 80% more likely than other children to die in the first two years of life, once the confounding effects of prematurity are removed. The risks associated with short conception intervals are confined to children who are also high birth order; they persist in the presence of controls for prior familial…

  • Lactation, seasonality, and mother's postpartum weight change in Bangladesh

    Open Access•Jane Miller, Germán Rodrı́guez et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Human Biology•1994

    Longitudinally collected data from rural Bangladesh was used to investigate the effects of lactation, reproductive patterns, and seasonality on maternal weight and postpartum weight change. Results of multivariate analyses demonstrate that weight change exhibits a strong seasonal pattern, with losses in winter (December through March) and the rainy season (July through November) and gains in other months. The rate of weight loss peaks between 5 a…
