Exploring the associations of daily movement behaviours and mid-life cognition
BACKGROUND: Movement behaviours (eg, sedentary behaviour (SB), moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light intensity physical activity (LIPA) and sleep) are linked to cognition, yet the relative importance of each component is unclear, and not yet explored with compositional methodologies. OBJECTIVE: To (i) assess the associations of different components of daily movement and participant's overall cognition, memory and executive functio…
Trajectories of physical activity from midlife to old age and associations with subsequent cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality
INTRODUCTION: It is well established that physical activity (PA) protects against mortality and morbidity, but how long-term patterns of PA are associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. METHODS: 3231 men recruited to the British Regional Heart Study, a prospective cohort study, reported usual PA levels at baseline in 1978-1980 (aged 40-59 years) and at 12-year, 16-year and 20-year follow ups. Twenty-year trajecto…
Chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular risk markers and total mortality in older men
Background It remains uncertain whether cystatin C is a superior marker of renal function than creatinine in older adults. We have investigated the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations based on creatinine (CKD-EPIcr) and cystatin C (CKD-EPIcys), and cardiovascular risk markers and mortality in older adults. Methods This is a cross-sectional …
Self-Reported Sensory Impairments and Changes in Cognitive Performance
Objective: To investigate the influence of single and dual sensory impairments prospectively on cognition in adults aged ⩾50 years. Method: Community-dwelling English adults ( n = 4,621) were followed up from 2008 to 2014. Self-reported hearing and vision were collected in 2008. Change in cognitive performance on working memory and executive function between 2008 and 2014 was evaluated. Results: Compared with good hearing and good vision, respect…
Investigating associations between the built environment and physical activity among older people in 20 UK towns
BACKGROUND: Policy initiatives such as WHO Age Friendly Cities recognise the importance of the urban environment for improving health of older people, who have both low physical activity (PA) levels and greater dependence on local neighbourhoods. Previous research in this age group is limited and rarely uses objective measures of either PA or the environment. METHODS: We investigated the association between objectively measured PA (Actigraph GT3x…
Self-reported vision impairment and incident prefrailty and frailty in English community-dwelling older adults
BACKGROUND: Little is known about vision impairment and frailty in older age. We investigated the relationship of poor vision and incident prefrailty and frailty. METHODS: Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses with 4-year follow-up of 2836 English community-dwellers aged ≥60 years. Vision impairment was defined as poor self-reported vision. A score of 0 out of the 5 Fried phenotype components was defined as non-frail, 1-2 prefrail and ≥3 as f…
Diurnal patterns of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behaviour in older men
Levels of MVPA and LIPA are highest in the morning (peak at 10-11 am) and decrease during the day. SB increases through the course of the day to peak in the evening. Interventions to encourage older men to be physically active may need to take account of current PA patterns, aiming to prolong active morning bouts of PA and/or reducing SB in the afternoon and evening hours
The influence of neighbourhood-level socioeconomic deprivation on cardiovascular disease mortality in older age
BACKGROUND: Evidence from longitudinal studies on the influence of neighbourhood socioeconomic factors in older age on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is limited. We aimed to investigate the prospective association of neighbourhood-level deprivation in later life with CVD mortality, and assess the underlying role of established cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: A socially representative cohort of 3924 men, aged 60-79 years in 1998-2000…
Liver enzymes and incident diabetes in China
In recent years, there has been increased interest in the potential role of liver enzymes in diabetes risk prediction. γ Glutamyl-transferase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are common liver enzymes. ALT and AST have been regarded as markers of liver injury; GGT is considered to be a sensitive marker of liver damage but is also found in other tissues and therefore is less specific. GGT may also represent…
Adherence to physical activity guidelines in older adults, using objectively measured physical activity in a population-based study
Few older adults attain current PA guidelines. Health promotion to extend the duration of moderate-intensity activity episodes to 10 minutes or more could yield important health gains among older adults. However future studies will need to clarify whether attaining guideline amounts of PA in spells lasting 10 minutes or more is critical for reducing chronic disease risks as well as improving cardiometabolic risk factors
OP86 Dietary Patterns in Older Men
Background Few studies have examined diet quality in older adults in Great Britain. We examined the influence of area of residence and early life social circumstances on dietary patterns among older British men. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of 4252 older men (aged 60-79 years) from the British Regional Heart Study. Food frequency questionnaire data were used to examine daily fruit and vegetable consumption and to generate two diet…
OP80 Inequalities in Heart Failure in Older Age
Background Few studies have examined the prospective associations between socioeconomic measures and incident heart failure, and little is known about possible mechanisms underlying the relationship. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of socioeconomic measures with incident heart failure in older adults and to examine possible underlying pathways. Methods A socially and geographically representative cohort of men aged 60–79 …
PS38 Sarcopenic Obesity and Risk of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Older Men
Background Sarcopenic obesity refers to the age-associated loss of muscle mass coupled with high adiposity levels. Although it is known that both obesity and low muscle mass are associated with increased mortality, few studies to date have examined the combined effects of sarcopenia and obesity on all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. We examined the relationship between sarcopenic obesity and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in older men.…
OP86 More Rapid Decline in CHD Incidence among Scottish Towns than among English towns from the 1980S to the 2000s
Background The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) has declined in the UK since the late 1970s. However, regional differences in this decline are unknown. We investigate the change in CHD incidence from the period 1980–1988 to 2000–2008 according to UK region. We also examine regional differences in changes in established coronary risk factors over these periods Methods The British Regional Heart Study recruited 7735 men between 1978 and 19…
OP16 How is Objectively Measured Physical Activity Associated with Falls and fear of Falling in Older Community Dwelling Men
Background Falls are a major cause of disability in older age and fear of falling (FOF) may limit physical activity. Associations between falls, fear of falling and objectively measured physical activity (PA) has been little studied, particularly in community-dwelling older adults. Methods The study sample was men participating in a prospective, population-based cohort study in 24 British towns provided questionnaire information on a history of f…
Class and lifestyle ‘lock‐in’ among middle‐aged and older men
Health lifestyles are collective patterns of health risk behaviour that develop within a social habitus. An important area for research is the extent to which health lifestyles become more individualised over time and as people age, or whether health lifestyles remain socially structured. This article presents findings from a Multiple Correspondence Analysis of the British Regional Heart Study. Our findings suggest that smoking and alcohol use re…
Is the recent rise in type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence from 1984 to 2007 explained by the trend in increasing body mass index? Evidence from a prospective study of British men
Objective Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the UK has increased by two-thirds in the last decade. Understanding the reasons for the unfavourable trend may help inform efforts to curb future increases. The association between T2DM and adiposity has been established. However, few attempts have been made to quantify the contribution of adiposity changes to the observed time trend in T2DM. We estimated the proportion of the time trend …
Have socio-economic differences in coronary risk factors changed over 20 years? Results from a population-based study of men between 1978–1980 and 1998–2000
Background Although CHD mortality has declined in the UK since the late 1970s, the decline has been particularly marked among more affluent subjects. While the decline substantially reflects improvements in established coronary risk factors, little is known about how these have changed in different socio-economic groups. Objective To examine whether socio-economic differences in coronary risk factors in Britain have changed over 20 years between …

Year trends in major coronary risk factors in older British men
the ''drift''. Our predictions are that stroke deaths are likely to continue to decrease up to at least 2015. For 2015, our predictions of deaths from stroke varied from 34 429 to 46 538 (compared with 47 213 deaths in 2005) under the different plausible model scenarios. We also noted that there were some potentially interesting trends in mortality amongst recent birth cohorts. In particular, mortality was higher in older age groups, but the diff…
Prediction scores to identify older adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes
The greatest relative increase in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) prevalence in developed countries thought likely to occur over the next 25 years will be in the over 65 age group. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of both simple strategies based on simple clinical parameters (suitable for use in primary care) and more complex scores involving blood markers to identify older individuals at high risk of developing T2DM. A
