Objective: To address the inconsistent findings on whether childhood misfortune increases adult cancer occurrence. Methods: This study uses longitudinal data from National Survey of Midlife Development in United States (MIDUS) that first sampled 3,032 respondents aged 25 to 74 during 1995-1996. A series logistic regressions were estimated separately for men and women test effect was largely cumulative or specific type profile misfortune. Results: For men, additive misfortune, physical abuse...
Objective: To examine the effect of five childhood misfortune domains—parental behavior, socioeconomic status, infectious diseases, chronic and impairments—on all-site selected site-specific cancer prevalence incidence. Method: Panel data from Health Retirement Study (2004-2012) were used to investigate risk among adults above age 50. Results: Risky parental behavior impairment in associated with higher odds prevalence, disease was prostate cancer, even after adjusting for adult health...
In recent decades, the concept of accumulation has gained prominence in research on aging, health, and social stratification. Accumulation is now studied multiple disciplines, revealing that cumulative processes are crucial to understanding patterns differentiation over life course. Although this demonstrated empirical value studying accumulation, taken different sometimes inconsistent meanings. To address these inconsistencies, we propose an interdisciplinary conceptual framework focuses...
In Australia, a Goods and Services Tax (GST) introduced in 2000 led to decline the price of ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages relative other alcohol products. The 2008 RTD ("alcopops") tax increased prices. objective this study was estimate change incidence Emergency Department (ED) presentations for acute problems associated with each tax.Segmented regression analyses were performed on age sex-specific time series monthly presentation rates 39 hospital emergency departments across New South...
We investigate whether childhood exposures influence adult chronic inflammation and mortality risk via health characteristics socioeconomic status (SES) gender moderates these relationships. Analyzing a longitudinal national sample of 9,310 men women over age 50, we found that SES, parental behaviors, adolescent behaviors were associated with SES in adulthood. The process disadvantage initiated by low (i.e., factors, disadvantage, inflammation) subsequently raised risk. In addition,...
Although early-life insults may affect health, few studies use objective physical measures of adult health. This study investigated whether experiencing misfortune during childhood is associated with handgrip strength (HGS) in later life. Data on and characteristics from the Health Retirement Study were used to predict baseline longitudinal change HGS among White, Black, Hispanic American men women. Regression analyses revealed that multiple indicators related at baseline, but relationships...
Objectives: This study investigates direct and indirect influences of childhood social, behavioral, health exposures on later-life osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis development. Methods: Drawing from cumulative inequality theory six waves the Health Retirement Study (2004–2014), we estimate structural equation modeling-based discrete-time survival analysis association between exposure domains both incidence for men ( n = 2720) women 2974). Using delta method to test mediation, examine...
Caregiving burden proves to be a risk factor of anxiety disorders and affection. The current study investigates how an endogenous personality dimension - neuroticism moderates the association between caregiving Between 2015 2017, deployed cross-sectional survey 674 (response rate = 89%) older adults who were hospitalized for dementia at two hospitals. From all primary caregivers these patients, 661 agreed participate in which yielded matched dyads as final sample. burden, neuroticism,...
Anthropogenic environmental change is predicted to disrupt multitrophic interactions, which may have drastic consequences for population-level processes. Here, we investigate how a large-scale human-mediated disturbance affects the abundance of North America's most venomous caterpillar species, Megalopyge opercularis . Specifically, used natural experiment where netting was deployed cover entire canopies subset mature southern live oak trees ( Quercus virginiana ) exclude urban pest birds...
Previous research has revealed a link between childhood experiences and adult health, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship are less clear. To elucidate relationship, we investigated pathway from misfortune to nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) via individual differences in personality. Longitudinal data were drawn National Survey of Midlife Development United States, which sampled 3,032 men women aged 25–74 years at baseline. Big 5 personality traits multiple measures used assess...
The COVID-19 pandemic and related physical distancing measures have posed a significant threat to the mental health of adults, particularly those living alone. Accordingly, World Health Organization implemented #HealthyAtHome program, encouraging people keep in regular contact with loved ones, stay physically active, routine. current study aims examine micro-longitudinal link between behavioral activation coping strategies (exercise, meditation, relaxation, social connection) depressive...
Prior research reveals that negative early-life experiences play a major role in the development of obesity later life, but few studies identify mechanisms alter lifetime risk obesity. This study examines influence childhood on body mass index (BMI) and (BMI ≥30) during older adulthood psychosocial behavioral pathways involved. Using nationally representative sample, we examine cumulative misfortune as well five separate domains BMI Results show four are associated with either directly,...
Life-course research has linked childhood experiences to adult mental illness, but most studies focus on anxiety or depressive symptoms, which may be transient. Therefore, this study investigates whether misfortune is associated with taking psychotropic medication, a measure reflecting an underlying chronic disorder. Data are from three waves of national survey 2,999 U.S. men and women aged 25–74 years. Four domains (childhood socioeconomic status, family structure, child maltreatment, poor...
Abstract Conflicts and natural disasters affect entire populations of the countries involved and, in addition to thousands lives destroyed, have a substantial negative impact on scientific advances these provide. The unprovoked invasion Ukraine by Russia, devastating earthquake Turkey Syria, ongoing conflicts Middle East are just few examples. Millions people been killed or displaced, their futures uncertain. These events resulted extensive infrastructure collapse, with loss electricity,...
There is a well-established relationship between childhood socioeconomic status (SES) and adult health, but how early-life conditions are able to influence health aging in later-life less clear. To elucidate this process, study investigated SES influences ischemic heart disease (IHD)—a common among older adults—through multiple paths of lifestyles, SES, chronic inflammation. Guided by two interdisciplinary life course perspectives, hypothesized that disadvantage during would lead unhealthy...
Abstract Recent findings suggest that childhood exposures can lead to chronic inflammation decades later, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship are relatively unknown. We investigate how influence adult (measured by C-reactive protein) and examine five potential mediators comprising two midlife domains: socioeconomic status (SES) health lifestyles. Using a sample of 8,891 adults aged 51 older from Health Retirement Study (HRS), analysis tests whether these life course operate...
