Physical Activity Friendliness of Neighborhoods
One potential strategy to promote physical activity (PA) involves changing the neighborhood environment. The PA-friendliness of neighborhood environments is often calculated using geospatial data. However, the association with perceived PA-friendliness seems to be low. Therefore, we examined the relationship between two Dutch geospatial measures and residents' perceptions regarding the PA-friendliness of their neighborhoods. Data from 3438 respon…
Five-year changes in loneliness and mental health among adults 41–85 years
BACKGROUND: Both loneliness and mental health represent important public health themes with stable or even worsening population figures. The association between loneliness and mental health is cross-sectionally well-established, but longitudinal studies are scarce. The aim of this study is to explore the individual changes in loneliness and mental health and the relation between these changes. METHODS: We used data from wave 5 (years: 2007-2012, …
The sex difference in self-rated health among older Turkish and Moroccan migrants in the Netherlands
Older Turkish-Dutch and Moroccan-Dutch women have a significant lower self-rated health compared to men. Women having a higher exposure to both socio-demographic and health-related determinants of self-rated health, which contributed to the sex difference. Future research should take these differences in self-rated health and determinants between women and men into account when investigating health among older migrants
Are older people worse off in 2040 regarding health and resources to deal with it? - Future developments in complex health problems and in the availability of resources to manage health problems in th…
Introduction: Developing sustainable health policy requires an understanding of the future demand for health and social care. We explored the characteristics of the 65+ population in the Netherlands in 2020 and 2040, focusing on two factors that determine care needs: (1) the occurrence of complex health problems and (2) the availability of resources to manage health and care (e.g., health literacy, social support). Methods: Estimations of the occ…
Perspectives of older women in the Netherlands
Although motivators and barriers for a healthy lifestyle and perspectives on healthy aging vary for distinct lifestyles, personal health is a common motivator across all lifestyles. Having a migration background added culture and religion as distinct barriers and motivations. Strategies to improve lifestyle among older women should therefore have a tailored, culture sensitive approach (if applicable) for distinct lifestyle factors
Healthy lifestyle over the life course
For five health-related lifestyle factors (physical activity, weight, smoking, sleep, and alcohol consumption) we describe both population trends and individual changes over a period of 30 years in the same adult population. Dichotomous indicators (healthy/unhealthy) of lifestyle were analyzed for 3,139 participants measured every 5 years in the Doetinchem Cohort Study (1987–2017). Population trends over 30 years in physical inactivity and “unhea…
Year Individual Physical Activity Patterns and Related Characteristics
Almost half of the participants changed their physical activity behaviour over 20 years. Baseline age, level of education, smoking, alcohol consumption, adherence to dietary guidelines, weight status and perceived health were associated with different physical activity patterns
The mediating role of unhealthy behavior in the relationship between shift work and perceived health
Shift workers did not report lower mental or physical health than non-shift workers. Though mediation effects of unhealthy behavior were observed in the relationship between shift work and perceived health, these small effects had minor public health relevance
Sleep characteristics across the lifespan in 1.1 million people from the Netherlands, United Kingdom and United States
Strengthening sense of coherence
Sense of coherence (SOC) reflects a coping capacity of people to deal with everyday life stressors and consists of three elements: comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. SOC is often considered to be a stable entity that is developed in young adulthood and stabilizes around the age of 30. Recent studies have questioned this stability of SOC and some studies report on interventions that have been successful in strengthening SOC in ad…
Generation shifts in smoking over 20 years in two Dutch population-based cohorts aged 20–100 years
The future burden of disease due to smoking is expected to be reduced among men, but not yet among women. Educational differences in smoking-related health problems are expected to increase
Changes in weight and health-related quality of life. The Doetinchem Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: The cross-sectional association between obesity and a lower health-related quality of life (HRQL) is clear. However, less is known about the association between changes in weight and HRQL. We examined the association between weight changes and changes in HRQL in a population-based sample of 2005 men and 2130 women aged 26-70 years. METHODS: Weight was measured two or three times with 5-year intervals between 1995 and 2009, and was cat…
A weak sense of coherence is associated with a higher mortality risk
BACKGROUND: Sense of coherence (SOC) is a health-promoting resource within the salutogenic theory that reflects an individual's coping ability. The association between SOC and mental health has been confirmed, but its association with mortality is less clear. We examined the association between SOC and all-cause mortality in an adult Dutch population. METHODS: Between 1996 and 1998, a postal questionnaire, including the three-item SOC scale, was …
The association between adverse life events and body weight change
We found no proof for an association between life events and weight change in the entire study sample, but we found that adults at a healthy weight responded differently to adverse life events than those who were overweight
Multimorbidity and comorbidity in the Dutch population – data from general practices
Multimorbidity is common at all ages though increasing with age, with over two-thirds of those with chronic diseases and aged 55 years and older being recorded with multimorbidity. Comorbidity encompassed many different combinations of chronic diseases. Given the ageing population, multimorbidity and its consequences should be taken into account in the organization of care in order to avoid fragmented care, in medical research and healthcare poli…
Do positive or negative experiences of social support relate to current and future health? Results from the Doetinchem Cohort Study
This study showed that social support might have a beneficial effect on lifestyle and health, with negative experiences of social support affecting lifestyle and health differently from positive experiences of social support
Adopting an Active Lifestyle During Adulthood and Health-Related Quality of Life
Objectives. We examined health-related quality of life in adults who became physically active at recommended levels over a 10-year period compared with adults with different physical activity patterns. Methods. We examined men and women aged 26 to 70 years (mean [SD] = 47.4 [10.1]) in the Doetinchem Cohort Study 3 times between 1995 and 2009. We distinguished participants who became physically active (n = 618), remained active (n = 1286), remaine…
The Disabling Effect of Diseases
Objectives. Data from the Netherlands indicate a recent increase in prevalence of chronic diseases and a stable prevalence of disability, suggesting that diseases have become less disabling. We studied the association between chronic diseases and activity limitations in the Netherlands from 1990 to 2008. Methods. Five surveys among noninstitutionalized persons aged 55 to 84 years (n = 54 847) obtained self-reported data on chronic diseases (diabe…
Overweight and health problems of the lower extremities
Aim To examine the association between overweight and health problems of the lower extremities, i.e. osteoarthritis (OA), pain and disability. Methods Cross-sectional data from the Dutch population-based Musculoskeletal Conditions & Consequences Cohort (DMC3), comprising a random sample from the Dutch population aged >25 years ( n 3664), were analysed using multivariate logistic regression. Overweight was defined as BMI ≥ 25·0 kg/m 2 , moderate o…
Physical inactivity
Heavy physical work load, frequent lifting, frequent bending and twisting, and extreme sports activities are established risk factors for low back pain (LBP).1 Lack of physical activity, on the other hand, is also often seen as a risk factor, especially for the development of chronic low back conditions.1 To get insight into the potential health effect of health promotion campaigns for physical activity on the burden of low back conditions we stu…
National health surveys by mail or home interview
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of using a mail questionnaire or home interviews on the size and the selectivity of response to national health surveys. DESIGN: The interview survey and the mail survey were both carried out in the same country (the Netherlands) using the same sample frame, the same study period (1998) and collected partly the same data on demographic, socioeconomic and health characteristics. SETTING: The Netherlands. PARTIC…
The contribution of six chronic conditions to the total burden of mobility disability in the Dutch population
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the proportions of the burden of mobility disability in the Dutch population that are attributable to musculoskeletal diseases, lung diseases, neurological disorders, heart diseases, diabetes, and cancer. METHODS: National survey data were analyzed with an elimination technique that combines the results of logistic regression analysis and the disease prevalence. RESULTS: Of the total prevalence of disability (20.5%…
Comparing survey data on functional disability
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine the impact of some differences in survey methodology on the prevalence of functional disability in population based surveys of the elderly. DESIGN AND METHODS: Nine surveys of Dutch people aged 55 years and older were compared to investigate the differences in the methods of data collection (proxy questioning, yes/no; interview versus self administered questionnaire) and construction of the questionnaire (wording of in…
