BackgroundEarly menopause is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality; however, the association between early and incidence timing unclear. We aimed assess associations age at natural disease.MethodsWe harmonised pooled individual-level data from 15 observational studies done across five countries regions (Australia, Scandinavia, USA, Japan, UK) 1946 2013. Women who had reported their status, (if postmenopausal), status (including coronary heart stroke) were included....
In 1996 the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health recruited a nationally representative sample of more than 40,000 women in three age cohorts, born 1973-78, 1946-51 and 1921-26. At least six waves 3-yearly surveys have been completed. Although focus remains factors affecting health well-being their access to use services across urban, rural remote areas Australia, study has now considerably expanded by linkage other data sets. For most who ever participated study, linked records...

Abstract Objective : The aims of this study were to estimate average yearly weight gain in midage women and identify the determinants gaining at double rate. Research Methods Procedures sample comprised 8071 participants (45 55 years old) Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health who completed mailed surveys 1996, 1998, 2001. Results On average, gained almost 0.5 kg per year [average 2.42 (95% confidence interval, 2.29 2.54) over 5 years]. In multivariate analyses, variables associated...

To assess the accuracy of body mass index (BMI) estimated from self-reported height and weight a mailed survey, in population-based sample mid-aged Australian women.One hundred fifty nine women (age 54-59 years) were recruited Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH). Participants provided data survey then measured (Brisbane, Australia 2005). Differences between examined by plotting against values using paired t-tests kappa statistics. Factors associated with biased reporting assessed...
Background Regular physical activity is associated with reduced risk of mortality in middle-aged adults; however, associations between and older people have been less well studied. The objective this study was to compare relationships women men. Methods prospective cohort design involved 7080 aged 70–75 years 11 668 men 65–83 at baseline, from two Australian cohorts – the Longitudinal Study on Women's Health Men Study. Self-reported low, moderate vigorous intensity activity,...
we aimed to identify multimorbidity patterns and relate these functional ability decline.we included 7,270 participants of the older cohort Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, who were surveyed every 3 years from 2002 2011. We used factor analysis 31 self-reported chronic conditions among women aged 76-81 in 2002. applied a linear increments model account for attrition related decline at subsequent surveys, as measured by activities daily living (ADL) instrumental (IADL).
