Cross-sectional and prospective associations between active living environments and accelerometer-assessed physical activity in the Epic-Norfolk cohort
The environments in which young and middle-aged adults live may influence their physical activity (PA) behaviours. These associations are less clear among older adults. We estimated cross-sectional and prospective associations of population density, junction density, and land use mix and perceived active living environments with accelerometer-assessed PA in a cohort of older adults. Adults living in more dense and mixed neighbourhoods had less op…
FEV1 and total Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity over an 18 years follow-up Population-Based Prospective Epic-Norfolk Study
Participants with higher FEV1 levels had a lower risk of CVD and all-cause mortality. Measuring the FEV1 with a portable handheld spirometry measurement may be used as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk. Every effort should be made to identify those with poorer lung function even in the absence of cardiovascular disease as they are at greater risk of total and CV mortality
Dog ownership supports the maintenance of physical activity during poor weather in older English adults: Cross-sectional results from the Epic Norfolk cohort
BACKGROUND: Dog ownership has been suggested to encourage physical activity in older adults and may enhance resilience to poor environmental conditions. This study investigates the role of dog ownership and walking as a means of supporting the maintenance of physical activity in older adults during periods of inclement weather. METHODS: The analysis used data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Norfolk cohort. Da…
Opposites don’t attract: High spouse concordance for dietary supplement use in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfolk (Epic-Norfolk) cohort study
Objective Dietary supplements are commonly consumed but may not be beneficial for everyone. It is known that supplement users have healthy behaviour characteristics but until now concordance between spouses living in the same household has not been investigated and concordance may be an important behavioural determinant. Design Prospective cohort study, cross-sectional data analysis. Setting European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfo…

Distribution of lipid parameters according to different socio-economic indicators- the Epic-Norfolk prospective population study
The findings of this study suggest that there are sex differences in the association between socio-economic status and serum lipid levels. The variations in lipid profile with socio-economic status may be largely attributed to potentially modifiable factors such as obesity, physical activity and dietary intake
Area deprivation, individual socioeconomic status and low vision in the Epic-Norfolk Eye Study
BACKGROUND: Poor vision is associated with lower socioeconomic status, but less is known about its relationship to area deprivation. METHODS: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study Norfolk Eye Study was a cross-sectional study of 8563 participants with completed eye examinations. Logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity (VA) was measured using standard protocols and low vision (LV) was de…
CHD risk in relation to alcohol intake from categorical and open-ended dietary instruments
Objective To examine the risk of CHD in relation to alcohol intake from three different instruments. Design In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfolk study, weekly alcohol intake was estimated from a single question in a mail-in health and lifestyle questionnaire (HLQ), a semi-quantitative FFQ, and a 7 d diet diary (7DD). Information on smoking status, physical activity, disease history, social class and medication use was …
Self-rated health does not explain the socioeconomic differential in mortality: A prospective study in the Epic-Norfolk cohort: Table 1
BACKGROUND: Self-rated health (SRH), a subjective measure of health, is strongly predictive of mortality, independently of objective measures of health status and existing known disease. There is a strong social gradient in SRH. An investigation was carried to determine whether SRH can explain the well-known socioeconomic gradient in mortality. METHODS: The effect of adjusting for SRH on the socioeconomic differential in mortality was examined in…
Does the association between self-rated health and mortality vary by social class
Combined Impact of Health Behaviours and Mortality in Men and Women: The Epic-Norfolk Prospective Population Study
BACKGROUND: There is overwhelming evidence that behavioural factors influence health, but their combined impact on the general population is less well documented. We aimed to quantify the potential combined impact of four health behaviours on mortality in men and women living in the general community. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We examined the prospective relationship between lifestyle and mortality in a prospective population study of 20,244 men and …
Major Depression, C-Reactive Protein, and Incident Ischemic Heart Disease in Healthy Men and Women
Objective: To investigate how C-reactive protein (CRP) and major depressive disorder (MDD) relate to each other and to incident ischemic heart disease (IHD). Studies have shown that both depression and raised CRP concentration predict IHD and that elevated CRP is linked with increased risk of depression. Methods: A prospective case-control study of healthy men and women, aged 45 to 79 years, was undertaken within the United Kingdom European Prosp…
Social inequalities in self-rated health by age: Cross-sectional study of 22 457 middle-aged men and women
There was a strong gradient of decreased SRH with age in both men and women. We found a strong cross-sectional association between SRH and social class, which was independent of education and major health related behaviors. The social class differential in SRH was similar with age. Prospective studies to confirm this association should explore social and emotional as well as physical pathways to inequalities in self reported health
Socioeconomic position and risk of short-term weight gain: Prospective study of 14,619 middle-aged men and women
Individuals of low socioeconomic position are at greatest risk of gaining weight during middle age, which is not explained by classical correlates of socioeconomic position and risk factors for obesity
Sense of coherence, lifestyle choices and mortality: Table 1
BACKGROUND: Based on data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer, Norfolk (EPIC-Norfolk) study, we have previously shown a strong sense of coherence (SOC) to be associated with a reduced rate of all-cause mortality. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the extent to which the SOC mortality association can be explained by socioeconomic status and lifestyle choices. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective population-based cohort study. PARTICIPANTS:…
