Paternity leave, mental health and wellbeing for new parents
Paternity leave has the potential to help parents by enabling new fathers to spend time with their families. However, existing evidence about its association with parental mental health and wellbeing is mixed. This study used data from Understanding Society, a national UK household survey, to examine uptake of paternity leave and its association with measures of mental health and wellbeing for fathers (n = 1385) and mothers (n = 1384) of infants …
Associations between adverse childhood experiences and cardiometabolic health in later adulthood in Colombia
BACKGROUND: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that occur before a child reaches the age of 15 with long-term health consequences, economic costs and intergenerational challenges for society. This study investigated the association between ACEs and cardiometabolic risk (cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, hypertension and obesity) in adulthood. METHODS: We used data from the Survey on Health, Well-Being and Ageing (SABE…
Does schooling attained by adult children affect parents' psychosocial well-being in later life? Using Mexico’s 1993 compulsory schooling law as a quasi-experiment
Higher adult child educational attainment may benefit older parents' psychosocial well-being in later life. This may be particularly important in low- and middle-income countries, where recent generations have experienced comparatively large increases in educational attainment. We used data from the 2012 Mexican Health and Aging Study, a nationally representative study of adults aged ≥50 years and leveraged the exogenous variation in adult child …
Increased adult child schooling and older parents’ health behaviors in Europe
There is growing evidence that adult child educational attainment is associated with older parents' physical health and longevity. Scholars have hypothesized that these associations may be driven by health-behavior pathways, whereby adult children with more education may share information about healthy lifestyles, role-model healthier behaviors, and/or have more economic resources to support leisure-based physical activity or the purchase of heal…

Long-term effects of compulsory schooling on physical, mental and cognitive ageing
BACKGROUND: Longer schooling is associated with better physical, mental and cognitive functioning, but there is controversy as to whether these associations are causal. We examine the long-term health impact of a policy that increased compulsory schooling by 2 years in France for cohorts born on or after January 1953, offering a natural experiment. METHODS: Data came from Constances, a randomly selected cohort of the French population assessed fo…
Longer schooling but not better off? A quasi-experimental study of the effect of compulsory schooling on biomarkers in France
Less schooling is associated with increased biological risks for chronic disease, but whether increasing years of schooling through policy interventions reduces these risks remains unclear. We examine the effect of a major education reform introduced in 1959 that raised the minimum school leaving age from 14 to 16 years in France, offering a unique natural experiment. We assess the causal impact of increased schooling duration on 16 biomarkers of…
Mindmap
MINDMAP is a novel research collaboration that is combining population-based cohort data with publicly available datasets not typically used for ageing and mental well-being research. Integration of various data sources and observational units into a single platform will help to explain the differences in ageing-related mental and cognitive disorders both within as well as between cities in Europe, the US, Canada, and Russia and to assess the cau…
Public transport policy, social engagement and mental health in older age
BACKGROUND: Social engagement and social isolation are key determinants of mental health in older age, yet there is limited evidence on how public policies may contribute to reducing isolation, promoting social engagement and improving mental health among older people. This study examines the impact of the introduction of an age-friendly transportation policy, free bus passes, on the mental health of older people in England. METHODS: We use an in…
Socioeconomic status and the 25 × 25 risk factors as determinants of premature mortality
Social isolation, loneliness and health in old age
The health and well-being consequences of social isolation and loneliness in old age are increasingly being recognised. The purpose of this scoping review was to take stock of the available evidence and to highlight gaps and areas for future research. We searched nine databases for empirical papers investigating the impact of social isolation and/or loneliness on a range of health outcomes in old age. Our search, conducted between July and Septem…
