Prognostic accuracy of the one-legged balance test in predicting falls
Despite previous observational evidence showing associations between better one-legged balance performance and reduced fall risk, the one-legged balance test had limited prognostic accuracy in predicting recurrent falls. This contradicts ongoing translation of this test into clinical screening tools for falls and highlights the need to consider new and existing screening tools that can reliably predict fall risk
Remembering Sharq Al-Adna
Set up covertly during the Second World War and continuing until the Suez crisis of 1956, the Near East Arab Broadcasting Station - better known as Sharq al-Adna - was for most of its life one of the most influential radio stations in the Middle East. This article draws on an unpublished memoir by a former director of the station, to tell the little-known story of a British attempt to win Arab hearts and minds during a formative period in the eme…
Imaging and imagining Palestine
What, one might ask, is the relevance of old photographs to international affairs, or indeed International Affairs? The short answer is that images, like words, have political and social contexts—and when the issue in question is Palestine, an image is seldom just an image. Focusing on the 30-year period of British rule, the contributors to this edited volume have drawn on a remarkably wide range of sources. Readers of the standard literature on …
The consequences of early menopause and menopause symptoms for labour market participation
Using a difference-in-difference estimator we identify the causal impact of early menopause and menopause symptoms on the time women spend in employment through to their mid-50s. We find the onset of early natural menopause (before age 45) reduces months spent in employment by 9 percentage points once women enter their 50s compared with women who do not experience early menopause. Early menopause is not associated with a difference in full-time e…
Life course socioeconomic position and DNA methylation age acceleration in mid-life
BACKGROUND: Ageing biomarkers can help us better understand how well-established socioeconomic position (SEP) disparities in ageing occur. A promising new set of DNAm methylation (DNAm)-based ageing biomarkers indicate through their age acceleration (AA) measures if biological ageing is slower or faster than chronological ageing. Few studies have investigated the association between SEP and DNAm AA. METHODS: We used linear regression to examine t…
Childhood correlates of adult positive mental well-being in three British longitudinal studies
Background Previous evidence has shown how experiences within childhood, such as parenting and socioeconomic conditions, are associated later on in life with adult mental well-being. However, these studies tend to focus on childhood experiences in isolation, and fewer studies have investigated how multiple aspects of the childhood environment, including both socioeconomic and psychosocial aspects, are associated with adult positive mental well-be…
Socioeconomic inequalities across life and premature mortality from 1971 to 2016
Introduction Disadvantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) in early and adult life has been repeatedly associated with premature mortality. However, it is unclear whether these inequalities differ across time, nor if they are consistent across different SEP indicators. Methods British birth cohorts born in 1946, 1958 and 1970 were used, and multiple SEP indicators in early and adult life were examined. Deaths were identified via national statistics …
Early adulthood socioeconomic trajectories contribute to inequalities in adult cardiovascular health, independently of childhood and adulthood socioeconomic position
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular health shows significant socioeconomic inequalities, however there is little understanding of the role of early adulthood in generation of these inequalities. We assessed the contribution of socioeconomic trajectories during early adulthood (16-24 years) to cardiovascular health in mid-adulthood (46 years). METHODS: Participants from the 1970 British Cohort Study with socioeconomic data available in early adulthood were…
The Relationship of Early-Life Adversity With Adulthood Weight and Cardiometabolic Health Status in the 1946 National Survey of Health and Development
OBJECTIVE: Evidence linking early-life adversity with an adverse cardiometabolic profile in adulthood is equivocal. This study investigates early-life adversity in relation to weight and cardiometabolic health status at ages 60 to 64 years. METHODS: We included 1059 individuals from the 1946 National Survey of Health and Development. Data on adversity between ages 0 to 15 years were used to create a cumulative childhood psychosocial adversity sco…

Differences in the relationship of weight to height, and thus the meaning of BMI, according to age, sex, and birth year cohort
Background: Weight can be adjusted for height using the Benn parameter (kg/m B ), where B is the power that minimises the correlation with height. Aim: To investigate how the Benn parameter changes across age (10-65 years) and time (1956-2015) and differs between sexes. Subjects and methods: The sample comprised 49,717 individuals born in 1946, 1958, 1970 or 2001. Cross-sectional estimates of the Benn parameter were produced and cohort difference…
Associations Between Factors Across Life and One-Legged Balance Performance in Mid and Later Life
This study identified numerous risk factors across life that are associated with one-legged balance performance and highlighted diverse patterns of association with age, suggesting that there are opportunities to intervene in early, mid and later life. A multifactorial approach to intervention, at both societal and individual levels, may have more benefit than focusing on a single risk factor
Britain's pacification of Palestine
Prospective associations of psychosocial adversity in childhood with risk factors for cardiovascular disease in adulthood
We found no evidence that exposure to greater psychosocial adversity, or specific forms of psychosocial adversity during childhood is associated with adult CVD risk factors. Further large population studies are needed to clarify whether parental death is associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure
Intergenerational social mobility and leisure-time physical activity in adulthood
Glubb Pasha and the Arab Legion
It is easy to dismiss Jordan as small, dull and insignificant: a minnow among the big beasts of the Middle East. But as Graham Jevon's illuminating study shows, the country has for most of its life found itself at the heart of both Arab politics and western policy. As such, it can serve as a valuable window onto a set of wider issues, including the rise of Arab nationalism, the end of empire and the evolution of the Arab–Israeli conflict. This bo…
A history of the Iraq crisis
Frédéric Bozo's book was first published in French in 2013, under the rather sexier title: Histoire secrète de la crise irakienne. Now translated into English, it will provide a new audience with a uniquely full and authoritative account of the clash between France and the United States during what the author describes as the greatest—and also the best-documented—international crisis since the end of the Cold War. What makes this account unusual,…
Modeling Exposure to Multiple Childhood Social Risk Factors and Physical Capability and Common Affective Symptoms in Later Life
The cumulative social risk approach and the use of factor analysis to identify contexts of social risk, may offer viable methods for linking multiple childhood social risk exposure to aging outcomes
Life course epidemiology
Life course epidemiology may be conceptualised as “the study of long term effects on later health or disease risk of physical or social exposures during gestation, childhood, adolescence, young adulthood and later adult life.”1 Adolescence, the period between childhood and adulthood defined by the WHO as 10–19 years, has an uneasy status in epidemiology. On the one hand, adolescents, who now number over 1.2 billion worldwide—around 20% of the glo…
Socioeconomic conditions across life related to multiple measures of the endocrine system in older adults
Lower SEP was associated with an adverse hormone profile across multiple endocrine axes. SEP differences in endocrine function may partly underlie inequalities in health and function in later life, and may reflect variations in biological rates of ageing. Further studies are required to assess the likely functional relevance of these associations
Association between resting heart rate across the life course and all-cause mortality
BACKGROUND: Resting heart rate (RHR) is an independent risk factor for mortality. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether elevations in childhood and mid-adulthood RHR, including changes over time, are associated with mortality later in life. We sought to evaluate the association between RHR across the life course, along with its changes and all-cause mortality. METHODS: We studied 4638 men and women from the Medical Research Council (MRC) National S…
OP17 Area Deprivation Across the Life Course and Cognitive Capability in Mid-Life
Background Recent work has shown that area conditions at single points in time have been found to be associated with cognitive capability outcomes. However, a life course perspective is required to take into account life time processes of cognitive development, changes in residence and secular trends of areas. Methods Data from the 1946 British Birth Cohort were used to estimate associations of area deprivation (indicated by % of employed people …

Neighborhood Social Capital and Dental Injuries in Brazilian Adolescents
Objectives. Evidence suggests that communities with higher levels of social capital have better health, but this association has not been explored specifically in relation to dental injury. We investigated the association between social capital and dental injury. Methods. We conducted a multilevel study assessed individual and neighborhood effects on dental injury of 1302 14- to 15-year-old adolescents in 39 schools of Distrito Federal, Brazil. C…
Challenges in examining area effects across the life course on physical capability in mid-life
A major limitation of past work linking area socioeconomic conditions to health in mid-life has been the reliance on single point in time measurement of area. Using the MRC National Survey of Health and Development, this study for the first time linked place of residence at three major life periods of childhood (1950), young adulthood (1972), and mid-life (1999) to area-socioeconomic data from the nearest census years. Using objective measures of…
Do childhood cognitive ability or smoking behaviour explain the influence of lifetime socio-economic conditions on premature adult mortality in a British post war birth cohort
Poor childhood and adult socio-economic conditions, lower childhood cognitive ability and cigarette smoking are all associated with adult mortality risk. Using data on 4458 men and women aged 60 years from a British birth cohort study, we investigated the extent to which these risk factors are part of the same pathway linking childhood experience to adult survival. Compared with women from non-manual origins, men from non-manual origins, women an…

Childhood social class and adult adiposity and blood-pressure trajectories 36–53 years
BACKGROUND: In this study, the authors investigate gender-specific effects of childhood socio-economic position (SEP) on adiposity and blood pressure at three time points in adulthood. METHODS: Mixed models were used to assess the association of childhood SEP with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at ages 36, 43 and 53 years in a British birth cohort. RESULTS: The adverse …
The Influence of Education and Family Background on Women's Earnings in Midlife
Studies which have investigated the influence of education on adult earnings are almost exclusively concerned with men and take little account of family influences on either education or later earnings. Those studies which have information on women's earnings focus on gender differentials rather than differences between women in opportunities and outcomes. This paper which examines the influence of education and family background on the midlife e…
