Operationalising resilience in longitudinal studies
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…
P2-118 Vitamin C intake from diary recordings and risk of breast cancer in the UK dietary cohort consortium
Introduction Vitamin C intake has been inversely associated with breast cancer risk in case-control studies, but not in meta-analyses of cohort studies using Food Frequency Questionnaires. No study has assessed this relationship prospectively using food diaries which may more accurately measure intake. Methods Estimated dietary vitamin C intake was derived from 4 to 7 day food diaries pooled from five prospective studies in the UK Dietary Cohort …

Patterns in trouble sleeping among women at mid-life
BACKGROUND: Although trouble sleeping is a common problem among women at mid-life, patterns in trouble sleeping relating to social and health-related risk factors are unclear. This analysis describes the dynamics of trouble sleeping among women at mid-life. METHODS: The National Survey of Health and Development is a nationally representative study of births in 1946 in England, Scotland, and Wales followed up through mid-life. Multistate life tabl…
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 …
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…
