Is mid-life social participation associated with cognitive function at age 50? Results from the British National Child Development Study (NCDS)
The results indicate that modest associations between adult social engagement and cognitive function at age 50 persist after adjusting for covariates which included health, socio-economic status and gender, supporting theories of neuroplasticity. In addition to the continuing emphasis on physical activity, the encouragement of civic participation, at least as early as mid-life, should be a targeted policy to potentially promote and protect cognit…
Gender Life Course Transitions from the Nuclear Family in England and Wales 1981-2001
In recent years there has been much political debate in the popular media about the fate of the nuclear family in the UK. Very little work has been done, using population data, to actually demonstrate the decline, or indeed continuance of this type of household formation. In this paper we use Office for National Statistics (ONS) longitudinal census data, from England and Wales, to explore the formation, dissolution and continuance of the nuclear …
Long‐Termness’ with Regard to Sickness and Disability: An Example of the Value of Longitudinal Data for Testing Reliability and Validity
Longitudinal data are used to explore the reliability of long‐term illness measures using information on ‘long‐term/permanent sickness or disability’ as recorded via the question on economic activity in the Census of England and Wales. Specifically it is asked ‘what evidence is there that individuals answer the item on long‐term sickness or disability in the same way at different time points?’. The research is based on data from the Office for Na…
Living Alone: Its Place in Household Formation and Change
In recent decades there has been a significant rise in the numbers of people who live alone and it was predicted that by 2002 that a third of all households will be single-person households. The predicted increase has occurred with indications of continued growth in this type of living arrangement. Furthermore, although living alone remains common among older age groups, the largest growth has been within younger populations. This demographic tre…
Area effects on health variation over the life-course: Analysis of the longitudinal study sample in England using new data on area of residence in childhood
An Introduction to the OPCS Longitudinal Study
The Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS). Longitudinal Study (LS) is introduced, and its value for migration and area-based studies is highlighted. The LS is a 1% sample of records drawn from the 1971, 1981, and 1991 Censuses for England and Wales, to which are linked information on certain vital events (for example, births, deaths, and cancer registration) for the same individuals. The basis for selection is having one of four birthd…
