Social class inequalities in health among occupational cohorts from Finland, Britain and Japan: A follow up study
Organisational justice and cognitive function in middle-aged employees: The Whitehall II study
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the role that work-related factors play in the decline of cognitive function. This study examined the association between perceived organisational justice and cognitive function among middle-aged men and women. METHODS: Perceived organisational justice was measured at phases 1 (1985-8) and 2 (1989-90) of the Whitehall II study when the participants were 35-55 years old. Assessment of cognitive function at the scr…
Health Behaviours, Socioeconomic Status, and Mortality: Further Analyses of the British Whitehall II and the French Gazel Prospective Cohorts
BACKGROUND: Differences in morbidity and mortality between socioeconomic groups constitute one of the most consistent findings of epidemiologic research. However, research on social inequalities in health has yet to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying this association. In recent analysis, we showed health behaviours, assessed longitudinally over the follow-up, to explain a major proportion of the association of soci…
Do different measures of early life socioeconomic circumstances predict adult mortality? Evidence from the British Whitehall II and French Gazel studies
BACKGROUND: Father's occupational position, education and height have all been used to examine the effects of adverse early life socioeconomic circumstances on health, but it remains unknown whether they predict mortality equally well. METHODS: We used pooled data on 18,393 men and 7060 women from the Whitehall II and GAZEL cohorts to examine associations between early life socioeconomic circumstances and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. R…
Risk factors for colonic and rectal cancer mortality: Evidence from 40 years’ follow-up in the Whitehall I study: Table 1
BACKGROUND: Modifiable behavioural risk factors--including exercise, obesity and smoking--have been causally associated with colorectal cancer mortality. However, results have been inconsistent and undiagnosed cancers may affect baseline risk factors, distorting the temporal relationship that is observed between them. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether risk factors for colorectal cancers available in the Whitehall I study were predictive of colonic …
Organizational Justice and Sleeping Problems: The Whitehall II Study
OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that organizational injustice contributes to sleeping problems. Poor sleep quality can be a marker of prolonged emotional stress and has been shown to have serious effects on the immune system and metabolism. METHODS: Data were from the prospective Whitehall II study of white-collar British civil servants (3143 women and 6895 men, aged 35-55 years at baseline). Age, employment grade, health behaviors, and depres…
Effects on Blood Pressure Do Not Explain the Association Between Organizational Justice and Coronary Heart Disease in the Whitehall II Study
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether lower BP mediates the inverse association between organizational justice and incident coronary heart disease (CHD). Previous studies suggest lower blood pressure (BP) and reduced risk of CHD among employees with high organizational justice (the perception of being treated fairly by supervisors). METHODS: Prospective occupational cohort study of 4250 men and 1812 women free of CHD and hypertension at study entry (the …
Gender Differences in the Association Between Morbidity and Mortality Among Middle-Aged Men and Women
Objectives. We examined gender differences in mortality, morbidity, and the association between the 2. Methods. We used health data from 2 studies of middle-aged men and women: the British Whitehall II cohort of employees from 20 civil service departments in London and the 1989 French GAZEL (this acronym refers to the French gas and electric companies) of employees of France's national gas and electricity company. Participants were aged 35 to 55 …
Self-Rated Health and Mortality: Short- and Long-Term Associations in the Whitehall II Study
OBJECTIVES: To determine if self-rated health (SRH), a single-item measure of health status where individuals are asked to rate their own health, predicts mortality in a middle-aged sample and if the predictive ability of SRH diminishes with time. METHODS: Data (6316 men and 3035 women) are drawn from the Whitehall II study. SRH and covariates were measured at baseline (1985-1988) when the average age of individuals was 44.5 years (SD = 6.1). The…
Gender differences in mental health: Evidence From Three Organisations
Impact of socioeconomic status on coronary mortality in people with symptoms, electrocardiographic abnormalities, both or neither: The original Whitehall study 25 year follow up
OBJECTIVES: To determine the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality in people with and without prevalent CHD at baseline. DESIGN: Cohort study with 25 year follow up; prevalent CHD was defined by Q, ST or T wave electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities or symptoms (defined by the Rose chest pain questionnaire and self reported doctor diagnosis) or both. SES was defined by four civil service employment grade…
Is the SF-36 a valid measure of change in population health? Results from the Whitehall II study
Objective: To measure within-person change in scores on the short form general health survey (SF-36) by age, sex, employment grade, and disease status. Design: Longitudinal study with a mean of 36 months (range 23–59 months) follow up, with screening examination and questionnaire to detect physical and psychiatric morbidity. Setting: 20 civil service departments originally located in London. Participants: 5070 male and 2197 female office based ci…
