Childhood social class and adulthood obesity
A ssociations between obesity and adverse health outcomes, including cardiorespiratory disease, diabetes, and cancer, are well documented.1 These diseases are likely to pose ever increasing public health problems as the prevalence of obesity increases. The prevention of obesity requires an understanding of its determinants throughout the lifecourse. A recent review concluded that childhood socioeconomic position is inversely related to adult obes…
Body mass index in young adulthood and cancer mortality
Study objective: To examine the relation between body mass index (BMI) in young adulthood and subsequent mortality from cancer. Design: Cohort study. Setting: University of Glasgow student health service. Weight and height were measured by a physician, and used to calculate BMI. Participants: 8335 men and 2340 women who attended the student health service while at university between 1948 and 1968, and who were followed up with the NHS central reg…
Social circumstances in childhood and cardiovascular disease mortality
Adverse socioeconomic circumstances in childhood have been related to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in adulthood in most, but not all, studies.1 The findings of such studies can be difficult to interpret given the association of childhood social circumstances with social conditions and behavioural risk factors for CVD in adulthood. Statistical adjustment for these, however, generally indicates an important additional contribution of…
Smoking in adolescence and young adulthood and mortality in later life
As experimentation with smoking occurs overwhelmingly in adolescence, a major objective of government strategy is to reduce smoking among young people.1 However, most studies of the association between mortality and smoking have relied on data for people whose smoking behaviour was recorded in middle age; teenagers and young adults may not see the relevance of messages derived from these studies or may feel that they are to some extent immune fro…
Behaviour Change Following a Workplace Health Check
An observational study, involving 1053 employees of a Glasgow factory, was conducted to determine the overall level of behaviour change and the characteristics of those who responded after attending a workplace health check. Eight hundred and sixty-eight individuals received one of four versions of a health check. Participants were deemed to have ‘responded’ if they made one or more of the advised behaviour changes (stopped smoking, increased exe…
Anxiety and depression in patients with lung cancer before and after diagnosis
Perceived health
The need to find accurate and reliable indicators on which to base the planning, provision, and evaluation of health services gave impetus to the attempt to develop reliable and valid measures of the perceived health status of the consumers of health care. Subjective measures can provide an important complement to traditional statistics by giving direct access to the personal feelings of discomfort or distress that influence the use of health ser…
The Nottingham health profile
A quantitative approach to perceived health status
The current recognition of the importance of perceived health status as a predictor of need for, and utilisation of, health services has led to attempts to produce indicators which assess subjective rather than objective health problems. The development of the Nottingham Health Profile is described, together with a study which tested the validity of the instrument on four groups of elderly people differing in health status. The results showed tha…
