Over the life course, we are invariably faced with some form of adversity. The process of positively adapting to adverse events is known as ‘resilience’. Resilience operationalisations have been reviewed in a cross-sectional context; however, a review of longitudinal methods of operationalising resilience has not been conducted. The present study conducts a systematic review across Scopus and Web of Science capturing studies of ageing that posite…
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980
BACKGROUND: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels.

METHODS: We pooled data from population-ba…

Central and total obesity in middle aged men and women in relation to lifetime socioeconomic status
Study objective: To investigate the influence of social class in childhood, young adulthood and middle age, and intergenerational mobility, on adult central and total obesity. Design: Prospective, population based, birth cohort study. Participants and Setting: 1472 men and 1563 women born in 1946 in England, Scotland, and Wales. Outcome measures: Waist-hip ratio, waist-height ratio, waist circumference, and body mass index at age 53 years. Main r…
