Are mortality rates similar between jobs in the Queensland coal mine workers’ cohort
Although a relatively young cohort, mortality risk varied by type of work. Risk of death from circulatory causes was increased in some workers, even after adjusting for smoking. Suicide rates are higher for men and women doing Production jobs
Chronicity rhetoric in health and welfare systems inhibits patient recovery
Fibromyalgia is a leading cause of disability in the UK and worldwide, but is difficult to diagnose and treat due to unclear pathogenesis and diverse and fluctuating symptoms. Although various treatment modalities are recommended, no treatments have been proven to effect sustainable improvement or recovery, and patients are typically dissatisfied with their care. Increasingly, biopsychosocial services are being developed, that aim to take a multi…
Why did middle-aged and older people retire since the first Covid-19 lockdown? A qualitative study of participants from the Health and Employment After Fifty study
The decision to retire during the pandemic was multi-factorial although changes to work during lockdown were of great importance. Post-pandemic, our findings suggest that there are modifiable aspects of work, including appreciation and fair pay and work conditions, that employers and policy makers could encourage to retain their older workers
Constructing therapeutic support and negotiating competing agendas
Work participation is known to benefit people's overall health and wellbeing, but accessing vocational support during periods of sickness absence to facilitate return-to-work can be challenging for many people. In this study, we explored how vocational advice was delivered by trained vocational support workers (VSWs) to people who had been signed-off from work by their General Practitioner (GP), as part of a feasibility study testing a vocational…
Occupational characteristics and disability-free survival after retirement age
Background: Certain occupational characteristics have been linked with poor health and reduced longevity. However, the association between occupational characteristics and survival free of disability in a post-retirement age group has not been investigated. Methods: We investigated outcomes in 12,215 healthy older Australian adults in the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) and ASPREE Longitudinal Study of Older Persons (ALSOP) sub…
Pre-pandemic socio-economic status and changes in employment during the first lockdown (2020) on the health of middle-aged people in England
In a cohort of older workers, working from home, job loss and poorer pre-pandemic SEP were all associated with worsening of mental health and SRH since lockdown
Recent UK retirees’ views about the work-related factors which influenced their decision to retire
Recent retirees explained that their decision to retire was multi-factorial but work-related factors contributed importantly. Potentially, employers could: review workers' perceptions about their work; their capacity in relation to job demands; increase flexibility; and facilitate a supportive work community to encourage longer working lives
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
Health and Employment after Fifty (Heaf)
CPRD linkage allows cost-effective frequent capture of detailed objective health data with which to examine the impact of health on work at older ages and of work on health. Findings will inform government policy and also the design of work for older people and the measures needed to support employment in later life, especially for those with health limitations
