Individual and contextual factors associated with breast cancer screening in Brazil
Breast cancer screening aims to reduce mortality in women, as it is the most common and deadliest cancer among them. Various individual and contextual factors may impact screening coverage. We analysed the association of breast cancer screening in Brazil with individual and contextual variables. This is a cross-sectional analysis from the first wave of the Brazilian National Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saude - PNS). The sample comprised o…

Frailty or sarcopenia
BACKGROUND: Despite the different conditions, frailty and sarcopenia overlap regarding their common link: the assessment of walking speed and muscle strength. This study aimed to compare the frailty phenotype to the sarcopenia using different cut-off points for low grip strength to determine which better identifies mortality risk over a 14-year follow-up period. METHODS: 4597 participants in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Frailty was m…

Differences in the prevalence of prediabetes, undiagnosed diabetes and diagnosed diabetes and associated factors in cohorts of Brazilian and English older adults
Objective: To analyse differences in the prevalence of prediabetes (PD), undiagnosed diabetes (UDD) and diagnosed diabetes (DD) and associated factors between Brazilian and English older adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: England and Brazil. Participants: 5301 participants of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing study and 1947 participants of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging study classified as non-diabetics, PD, UDD and…
Family Health Strategy, Primary Health Care, and Social Inequalities in Mortality Among Older Adults in Bagé, Southern Brazil
Objectives. To investigate the role of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in reducing social inequalities in mortality over a 9-year follow-up period. Methods. We carried out a population-based cohort study of individuals aged 60 years and older from the city of Bagé, Brazil. Of 1593 participants at baseline (2008), 1314 (82.5%) were included in this 9-year follow-up (2017). We assessed type of primary health care (PHC) coverage and other variables…
Life course socioeconomic inequalities and oral health status in later life
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between life course socioeconomic conditions and two oral health outcomes (edentulism and use of dental prostheses among individuals with severe tooth loss) among older Brazilian adults. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study with data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) which includes information on persons aged 50 years or older residing in 70 municipalities across the five g…
The Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (Elsi-Brazil)
Brazil is experiencing among the world's fastest demographic aging worldwide. This demographic transition is occurring in a context of few resources and great social inequalities. The Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) is a nationally representative study of 9,412 people aged 50 years or older, residing in 70 municipalities across the 5 Brazilian regions. ELSI-Brazil allows investigations of the aging process, its health, psychos…
Self-Reported Sensory Impairments and Changes in Cognitive Performance
Objective: To investigate the influence of single and dual sensory impairments prospectively on cognition in adults aged ⩾50 years. Method: Community-dwelling English adults ( n = 4,621) were followed up from 2008 to 2014. Self-reported hearing and vision were collected in 2008. Change in cognitive performance on working memory and executive function between 2008 and 2014 was evaluated. Results: Compared with good hearing and good vision, respect…
Depressive symptoms, emotional support and activities of daily living disability onset
Psychosocial factors appear to be associated with increased risk of disability in later life. However, there is a lack of evidence based on long-term longitudinal data from Western low-middle income countries. We investigated whether psychosocial factors at baseline predict new-onset disability in long term in a population-based cohort of older Brazilians adults. We used 15-year follow-up data from 1,014 participants aged 60 years and older of th…

Testing Comparability Between Retrospective Life History Data and Prospective Birth Cohort Study Data
The findings on the one hand provide some reassurance to the growing literature using life history data to determine life course associations with later life wellbeing. On the other hand, the findings show an overestimation in the retrospective data, in part, arising from the absence in life history data of childhood measures that are not well suited to retrospective collection
Self-reported vision impairment and incident prefrailty and frailty in English community-dwelling older adults
BACKGROUND: Little is known about vision impairment and frailty in older age. We investigated the relationship of poor vision and incident prefrailty and frailty. METHODS: Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses with 4-year follow-up of 2836 English community-dwellers aged ≥60 years. Vision impairment was defined as poor self-reported vision. A score of 0 out of the 5 Fried phenotype components was defined as non-frail, 1-2 prefrail and ≥3 as f…
Is regular drinking in later life an indicator of good health? Evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
BACKGROUND: Older people who drink have been shown to have better health than those who do not. This might suggest that moderate drinking is beneficial for health, or, as considered here, that older people modify their drinking as their health deteriorates. The relationship between how often older adults drink and their health is considered for two heath states: self-rated health (SRH) and depressive symptoms. METHODS: Data were analysed from the…
Violências e juventude em um território da Área Metropolitana de Brasília, Brasil

Distinctive Biological Correlates of Positive Psychological Well-Being in Older Men and Women
OBJECTIVE: Positive psychological well-being is associated with reduced risk of chronic illnesses. Biological risk factors may contribute to these effects, although sex differences may be present. Two aspects of well-being can be distinguished: affective well-being (happiness and pleasure) and eudaemonia (sense of autonomy and purposeful engagement with life). We evaluated relationships between both affective and eudaemonic well-being and biologi…
Socioeconomic Inequalities in Health in Older Adults in Brazil and England
Objectives. We examined socioeconomic inequalities in health among older adults in England and Brazil. Methods. We analyzed nationally representative samples of residents aged 50 years and older in 2008 data from the Brazilian National Household Survey (n = 75 527) and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (n = 9589). We estimated prevalence ratios for self-rated health, functional limitations, and reported chronic diseases, by education level…
