What determines Self-Rated Health (SRH)? A cross-sectional study of SF-36 health domains in the Epic-Norfolk cohort
BACKGROUND: Self-Rated Health (SRH) as assessed by a single-item measure is an independent predictor of health outcomes. However, it remains uncertain which elements of the subjective health experience it most strongly captures. In view of its ability to predict outcomes, elucidation of what determines SRH is potentially important in the provision of services. This study aimed to determine the extent to which dimensions of physical, mental and so…
Sense of coherence, lifestyle choices and mortality
BACKGROUND: Based on data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer, Norfolk (EPIC-Norfolk) study, we have previously shown a strong sense of coherence (SOC) to be associated with a reduced rate of all-cause mortality. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the extent to which the SOC mortality association can be explained by socioeconomic status and lifestyle choices. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective population-based cohort study. PARTICIPANTS:…
Places, people, and their physical and mental functional health
Study objective: To investigate the impact of area of residence on functional health as represented by medical outcomes study SF-36 physical and mental component summary scores. Design: Multilevel analysis of cross sectional data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition in Norfolk, UK (EPIC-Norfolk). Participants: A community dwelling cohort of 18 399 men and women, aged 41 to 80 and resident in 162 electoral wards in…
Characteristics of Patients and Patterns of Psychiatric Service Use in Ethnic Minorities
Background: The differential uptake of psychiatric services by ethnic minorities has been widely reported. Less attention has been given to comparisons of these patients and variations in the types of interventions they receive. Aims: To assess whether for people accessing psychiatric services in the UK, differences exist across ethnic groups both in their sociodemographic characteristics and patterns of mental health care utilisation. Methods: A…
Psychosocial aetiology of chronic disease
OBJECTIVES: The Health and Life Experiences Questionnaire (HLEQ) was developed for use in a prospective cohort study of 25,000 men and women living in Norfolk and forms a component study of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). The HLEQ includes an assessment of mood status over the life course allowing a limited capacity for the imposition of diagnostic criteria to enable eventual evaluation of mental health st…
Are Personality, Coping and Depression Related to Lifestyle Risk Factors for Cancer
The Electrodermal Component of the Orienting Response in Blind and Deaf Individuals
Skin conductance response (SCR) was monitored as an index of the orienting response (OR) to a series of 20 tones presented to blind and sighted schoolchildren. Blind children showed fewer criterion SCRs than sighted children, and significantly more of the blind sample exhibited SCR habituation. The blind group also demonstrated fewer non‐specific SCRs than sighted control subjects, but demonstrated a higher average skin conductance level (SCL). A…
