Why did middle-aged and older people retire since the first Covid-19 lockdown? A qualitative study of participants from the Health and Employment After Fifty study
The decision to retire during the pandemic was multi-factorial although changes to work during lockdown were of great importance. Post-pandemic, our findings suggest that there are modifiable aspects of work, including appreciation and fair pay and work conditions, that employers and policy makers could encourage to retain their older workers
Musculoskeletal health and life-space mobility in older adults
This study explores the relationship between musculoskeletal conditions of ageing and life-space mobility (LSM) in 1110 community-dwelling older adults from the Hertfordshire Cohort Study. LSM is a novel measure which captures ability to mobilise within the home, locally and more widely. Among men, older age, care receipt, not driving a car, lower wellbeing, and reduced physical function were associated with lower LSM, while in women only driving…
Impact of Menopausal Symptoms on Work
Women make up a growing proportion of the workforce and therefore many women experience menopause while in paid employment. We explored the prevalence of menopausal symptoms, the relationship between symptoms and coping with work and the risk factors associated with struggling at work during the menopause. The Health and Employment After Fifty (HEAF) community-based cohort of people aged 50-64 years was incepted 2013-2014 to study health and work…
Predictors and Consequences of Not Seeking Healthcare during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a dramatic reduction of routine healthcare availability in many European countries. Among a cohort of English middle-aged adults, we explored pre-pandemic and pandemic factors associated with not seeking healthcare during lockdown, and their effect on subsequent self-reported health measures. Longitudinal data from the Health and Employment After Fifty (HEAF) cohort were used. Pre-pandemic data came from the 5th …
Pre-pandemic socio-economic status and changes in employment during the first lockdown (2020) on the health of middle-aged people in England
In a cohort of older workers, working from home, job loss and poorer pre-pandemic SEP were all associated with worsening of mental health and SRH since lockdown
Older working adults in the Heaf study are more likely to report loneliness after two years of follow-up if they have negative perceptions of their work quality
Loneliness amongst middle-aged working adults is not predicted by permanent work exit but is predicted by individuals' perceptions about their work. Provision of good-quality work, matched to the capacity of the older worker, could prevent loneliness
Body Mass Index (BMI) and Work Ability in Older Workers
This study explores associations between BMI and prolonged sickness absence; cutting down at work; and health-related job loss (HRJL) over two years of follow-up among workers aged ≥50 years. A cohort of 2299 men and 2425 women (aged 50-64 years) self-reported height and weight at baseline and provided information about work ability at 12 and 24 months for the Health and Employment after Fifty (HEAF) Study. Associations between BMI and work abili…
Health and Employment after Fifty (Heaf)
CPRD linkage allows cost-effective frequent capture of detailed objective health data with which to examine the impact of health on work at older ages and of work on health. Findings will inform government policy and also the design of work for older people and the measures needed to support employment in later life, especially for those with health limitations
Body size and body composition
BACKGROUND: Indian babies are characterised by the 'thin-fat phenotype' which comprises a 'muscle-thin but adipose' body composition compared with European babies. This body phenotype is of concern because it is associated with an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We examined whether the 'thin-fat phenotype' persists through early childhood, comparing Indian children with white Caucasians in the UK at birth, infancy and child…
OP63 Body Size and Body Composition
Background Indian children have been shown to be smaller in all body measurements compared with white Caucasian British children at birth, one and four years, but they show a particular pattern of smallness, with relative sparing of subcutaneous fat– the so-called ‘thin-fat’ phenotype. Recently, Indian children at age 6 years were found to have a higher body fat percentage from DXA measurements than white British children, despite a lower BMI. Ho…
