Does Adolescent Affect Impact Adult Social Integration? Evidence from the British 1946 Birth Cohort
Using data from the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (the British 1946 birth cohort), we take a life course approach with a sociology of mental health framework to examine the relationship between adolescent affect and adult social integration. The results suggest that being observed as anxious or sad in adolescence has a long-term effect on adult social integration.These associations are not explained by adult mental health or socio…
Life course body size and lipid levels at 53 years in a British birth cohort
Objectives: To investigate the association between growth in height and change in body mass index (BMI) during the life course on lipid levels at 53 years. Methods: 2311 men and women from a British cohort study were included in analyses. Non-fasting total, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels were measured at 53 years. Height and BMI at 2, 4, 7, 11, 15 and 36 years in relation to the lipid outcomes …
Childhood cognitive ability and adult mental health in the British 1946 birth cohort
Social Circumstances and Education
Objectives. We investigated the relative importance of education and childhood and adult social class in the risk of metabolic syndrome. Methods. We conducted a prospective birth cohort study of 1311 men and 1318 women aged 53 years in 1999, when metabolic syndrome components were measured. Logistic regression analyses were used to calculate relative index of inequality estimates. Results. Relative to men and women at the highest education levels…
Cigarette Smoking and Cognitive Decline in Midlife
Objectives. The authors investigated the effects of cigarette smoking on midlife cognitive performance. Methods. Multiple regression was used to test the association between cigarette smoking and changes in cognitive test scores among male and female members of the British 1946 birth cohort aged between 43 and 53 years. Results. Smoking was associated with faster declines in verbal memory and with slower visual search speeds. These effects were l…

Lifetime risk factors for women's psychological distress in midlife
The role of the menopause in women's experiences of the 'change of life
Over the course of the 20th century, the menopause came to be viewed amongst the medical profession as a hormone deficiency state. This formulation of the menopause as a physiological and biochemical change, whilst in some ways appropriate, understates the importance of the social context in which the menopause is experienced. Drawing on women's accounts of the menopause, as described in the comments section of a longitudinal national survey, thi…
