Older Adults’ Outdoor Activities and Quality of Life
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022
BACKGROUND: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. METHODS: ). For school-aged children and adolescents, we report thinness (BMI 2 SD above the median). FINDINGS: From 1990 to 20…
Is it possible to identify populations experiencing material disadvantage in primary care? A feasibility study using the Clinical Practice Research Database
BACKGROUND: Material disadvantage is associated with poor health, but commonly available area-based metrics provide a poor proxy for it. We investigate if a measure of material disadvantage could be constructed from UK primary care electronic health records. METHODS: Using data from Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum (May 2022) linked to the 2019 English Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), we sought to (1) identify codes that signified ma…
Closing the life expectancy gap
Regional health inequalities are rising globally. The case of German reunification offers a unique opportunity to explore how such inequalities can be reduced, or even eliminated: following reunification, a long-standing life expectancy gap between East and West Germany was closed for women and markedly reduced for men in less than 15 years. We used data from official national statistics covering the period 1994-2020 for 15 regions in East and We…
"Successful" ageing in later older age
Supporting people to 'age in place' - to live independently at home and remain connected to the community - is an international policy priority. But the process of ageing in place is mediated in a socio-cultural context where neoliberal tropes of successful ageing reproduce a pervasive model about 'ageing well' by elevating ideals of individualised choice and self-governance. Based on two waves of qualitative interviews and interim observations, …
Are Religiosity and Spirituality Related to Self-Reported Health Expectancy? An Analysis of the European Values Survey
Research on religiosity and health has generally focussed on the United States, and outcomes of health or mortality but not both. Using the European Values Survey 2008, we examined cross-sectional associations between four dimensions of religiosity/spirituality: attendance, private prayer, importance of religion, belief in God; and healthy life expectancy (HLE) based on self-reported health across 47 European countries ( n = 65,303 individuals). …
The impact of long-term conditions on disability-free life expectancy
Although leading causes of death are regularly reported, there is disagreement on which long-term conditions (LTCs) reduce disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) the most. We aimed to estimate increases in DFLE associated with elimination of a range of LTCs. This is a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing the effects of LTCs on health expectancy (HE). MEDLINE, Embase, HMIC, Science Citation Index, and Social Scien…
Measuring older people’s socioeconomic position
BACKGROUND: The challenges of measuring socioeconomic position in older populations were first set out two decades ago. However, the question of how best to measure older people's socioeconomic position remains pertinent as populations age and health inequalities widen. METHODS: A scoping review aimed to identify and appraise measures of socioeconomic position used in studies of health inequalities in older populations in high-income countries. M…
Investigating the impact on mental wellbeing of an increase in pensions
In 1997 approximately two million people aged 60 years or over were living poverty in the UK. In 1999 the UK Government raised real pension incomes of low-income pensioners by around a third through the introduction of the Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG). This study explores the implications of this change for pensioners' mental wellbeing with a focus on differences by area level deprivation in England. We explore mental wellbeing outcomes of 205 …
Of Spiritual Failure
This article critically examines GWF Hegel's treatment of the Egyptian pyramids in his Aesthetics as an aporia at a crucial juncture of his systematic philosophy. For Hegel, the pyramids are the aesthetic and historical moment at which 'Spirit' begins to extricate itself from matter. However, this article claims that such a transition is only possible through a repression and a forgetting of the material situation upon which it is predicated. In …
Death and Fairy Tale
The music of the spectralist composer Claude Vivier is often considered through the lens of autobiography. However, from his abandonment as an infant to the circumstances of his murder at the age of thirty-four, certain aspects of Vivier's life also seem to resist any straightforwardly autobiographical account. Borrowing the concept of "autothanatography" from Jacques Derrida and others, this essay explores how Vivier's works inscribe a relations…

Does older adults’ use of social care influence their healthcare utilisation? A systematic review of international evidence
Projections of multi-morbidity in the older population in England to 2035
Background: models projecting future disease burden have focussed on one or two diseases. Little is known on how risk factors of younger cohorts will play out in the future burden of multi-morbidity (two or more concurrent long-term conditions). Design: a dynamic microsimulation model, the Population Ageing and Care Simulation (PACSim) model, simulates the characteristics (sociodemographic factors, health behaviours, chronic diseases and geriatri…
An investigation into the patterns of loneliness and loss in the oldest old – Newcastle 85+ Study
Old age is often characterised as being associated with neglect, isolation and loneliness, not least since established risks factors for loneliness include widowhood, living alone, depression and being female. Cross-sectional data have challenged the notion that loneliness is especially an old-age phenomenon but longitudinal data on loneliness is scarce. Moreover, an under-represented group in prior studies are the oldest old, those aged 85 years…
Health and disease in a UK cohort of 85-year–olds
compared with participants who had died, for the three psychosocial measures, were: CASP-19 (3.75 and 6.02 respectively, p,0.001); GHQ-12 (1.24 and 2.12 respectively, p,0.001); and CES-D (1.53 and 2.44 respectively, p,0.001). Logistic regression analyses revealed that, after controlling for demographic, health, and lifestyle factors, CASP-19 (odds ratio (OR) = 1.10, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.13), GHQ-12 (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.12), and CES-D (OR 1.13, …
