Education-related inequalities in disability during the last years of life
BACKGROUND: Little is known about education-related inequalities in late-life disability. Here, we use individual-level register data on the receipt of the Austrian long-term care allowance (ALTCA) to assess education-related inequalities in the duration of late-life disability. METHODS: In this retrospective mortality follow-back study, we analyse receipt of ALTCA, a universal cash benefit based on physician-assessed disability in activities of …
Equal in ashes? Exploring socioeconomic inequalities in lifespan based on obituary data in Austria
Understanding the emergence of and changes in socioeconomic inequalities in lifespan requires reliable, longitudinal data. In the absence of administrative data, published obituaries may be one such alternative source. With the validity of drawing relevant data from obituaries not yet established in population health research, this study addresses this gap by estimating socioeconomic inequalities in lifespan in Vorarlberg, Austria. Data for all i…
Eight-year trends in cardio-vascular risk factors in people living with HIV
Background: The prognosis for people living with HIV (PLWHIV) has improved tremendously in the past years, and life expectancy in PLWHIV is almost the same as in the general population. HIV now is regarded as chronic condition, and as PLWHIV age, additional age-related problems emerge. These seem to occur more often and earlier compared to the general population, due to the virus itself, due to antiretroviral therapy, or due to lifestyle factors.…
Unequally Unequal? Contextual-level status inequality and social cohesion moderating the association between individual-level socioeconomic position and systemic chronic inflammation
Inequalities in hs-CRP were greatest among participants living in areas wherein a majority of residents were in advantaged SEPs and social cohesion was low. In other combinations of these contextual characteristics, inequalities in systemic chronic inflammation were not detectable or potentially even reversed
Partner loss and its effect on frailty trajectories
BACKGROUND: Frailty is a geriatric syndrome closely linked to a variety of adverse health outcomes. Thus, it is important to identify factors associated with the development of frailty. It was the aim of this study to examine, if, and to what extent partner loss, a highly stressful life event, affects frailty trajectories of community dwelling adults aged 50 or older. METHODS: Using six waves of panel data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Re…
Health‐related and socio‐economic burden of the Covid‐19 pandemic in Vienna
Previous pandemics have rarely affected everyone equally and, so far, the COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. Emerging evidence has shown that incidence rate, hospitalisation rate, and mortality due to COVID-19 are higher among people in lower socio-economic position (SEP). In addition, first investigations indicate that not everyone is equally affected by this pandemic's collateral public health damage. Using a stratified random sample of 1,004 p…
