Compared to participants with a long-term healthy diet and no calcium consumption, the combination of a long-term healthy diet and calcium consumption was linked to a lower risk of CVD (IRR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.78; 0.96). In conclusion, a long-term healthy diet combined with MVM or fish oil was associated with a lower incidence of CVD. Participants who maintained a healthy diet and used calcium supplements were associated with a lower incidence of obesity. However, these associations were not found among those with an unhealthy diet, despite taking similar supplements.]]> Wed 28 Sep 2022 14:35:09 AEST ]]> The future burden of oesophageal and stomach cancers attributable to modifiable behaviours in Australia: a pooled cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51358 Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:08:47 AEDT ]]> Estimating the effect of health assessments on mortality, physical functioning and health care utilisation for women aged 75 years and older https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45171 Wed 26 Oct 2022 14:18:49 AEDT ]]> Diet quality before or during pregnancy and the relationship with pregnancy and birth outcomes: the Australian longitudinal study on women's health https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29570 Wed 24 Nov 2021 15:50:43 AEDT ]]> Successful ageing from old to very old: a longitudinal study of 12,432 women from Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35869 Wed 24 May 2023 12:57:32 AEST ]]> First incident hospitalisation for Australian women aged 70 and beyond: a 10 year examination using competing risks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24666 Wed 15 Dec 2021 16:09:24 AEDT ]]> The future burden of lung cancer attributable to current modifiable behaviours: a pooled study of seven Australian cohorts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41663 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:26:17 AEDT ]]> Circumstances of falls with fractured femur in residents of Australian nursing homes: an analysis of falls reports https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33203 Wed 12 Sep 2018 15:47:02 AEST ]]> Perceptions of coping with non-disease-related life stress for women with osteoarthritis: a qualitative analysis. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26096 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:27:54 AEST ]]> Agreement between self-reported perinatal outcomes and administrative data in New South Wales, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21011 92 to >95 % for all outcomes.

A comparison of chronic conditions and their risk factors between women living in major cities and other cities in Indonesia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22534 15 years old participating in the fourth wave of the Indonesia Family Life Survey. Chronic condition risk factors – systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), body mass index (BMI), and tobacco use – among women in four major cities in Indonesia (Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, and Bandung) were compared against other cities. Fractional polynomial regression models were applied to examine the association between living in the major cities and SBP, DBP, BMI, and tobacco use. The models were also adjusted for age, education, employment status, migration status, ethnic groups, and religion. The patterns of SBP, DBP, and BMI were plotted and contrasted between groups of cities. Results: Chronic condition prevalence was higher for women in major cities than in contrasting cities (p<0.005). Living in major cities increased the risk of having higher SBP, DBP, BMI and being a current smoker. Chronic disease risk factors in major cities were evident from younger ages. Conclusions: Women residing in Indonesia’s major cities have a higher risk of developing chronic conditions, starting at younger ages. The findings highlight the challenges inherent in providing long-term healthcare with its associated cost within major Indonesian cities and the importance of chronic disease prevention programmes targeting women at an early age.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:43:11 AEST ]]> Evaluation of older Chinese people's macronutrient intake status: results from the China Health and Nutrition Survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17465 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:20:43 AEST ]]> "Just get on with it": qualitative insights of coming to terms with a deteriorating body for older women with ostearthritis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17394 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:57:09 AEST ]]> Validity and reliability of stillbirth data using linked self-reported and administrative datasets https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16063 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:47:08 AEST ]]> Adapting data collection methods in the Australian Life Histories and Health Survey: a retrospective life course study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15598 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:37:55 AEST ]]> Do women grow out of risky drinking? a prospective study of three cohorts of Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17460 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:09:35 AEST ]]> Polypharmacy trajectories among older women with and without dementia: A longitudinal cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53712 Wed 10 Jan 2024 11:10:07 AEDT ]]> Stroke, physical function, and death over a 15-year period in older Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28068 Wed 09 Mar 2022 16:02:52 AEDT ]]> Sleep difficulty and disease in a cohort of very old women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24487 Wed 09 Mar 2022 15:58:56 AEDT ]]> Vegetable nitrate intakes are associated with reduced self-reported cardiovascular-related complications within a representative sample of middle-aged Australian women, prospectively followed up for 15 years https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35626 78.2 mg/day) and vegetable nitrate intakes (Q4 > 64.4 mg/day) were 25% and 27% reduced risk of developing CVD-related complications respectively, compared with women reporting low total (Q1 < 45.5 mg/day) and vegetable nitrate intakes (Q1 < 34.8 mg/day).

We estimated exposure prevalence from representative health surveys. We combined these estimates to calculate Population Attributable Fractions (PAFs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and compared PAFs for population subgroups. During the first 10 years follow‐up, there were 640 incident breast cancers for premenopausal women, 2,632 for postmenopausal women, and 8,761 deaths from any cause. Of future breast cancers for premenopausal women, any regular alcohol consumption explains 12.6% (CI = 4.3–20.2%), current use of oral contraceptives for ≥5 years 7.1% (CI = 0.3–13.5%), and these factors combined 18.8% (CI = 9.1–27.4%). Of future breast cancers for postmenopausal women, overweight or obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) explains 12.8% (CI = 7.8–17.5%), current use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) 6.9% (CI = 4.8–8.9%), any regular alcohol consumption 6.6% (CI = 1.5–11.4%), and these factors combined 24.2% (CI = 17.6–30.3%). The MHT‐related postmenopausal breast cancer burden varied by body fatness, alcohol consumption and socio‐economic status, the body fatness‐related postmenopausal breast cancer burden by alcohol consumption and educational attainment, and the alcohol‐related postmenopausal breast cancer burden by breast feeding history. Our results provide evidence to support targeted and population‐level cancer control activities.]]> Tue 25 Oct 2022 09:19:19 AEDT ]]> The burden of pancreatic cancer in Australia attributable to smoking https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47647 P = 0.007) and for those under 65 (19.0%; 95% CI, 8.1–28.6%) than for older people (6.6%; 95% CI, 1.9–11.1%; P = 0.030).

Separate generalized estimating equations for men and women, controlling for key demographic, and health variables (depression, diabetes, circulatory and musculoskeletal conditions) were used to examine the relationship of alcohol consumption with hospitalization and falls against a reference category of low-risk consumption. Results: Most participants were in the low (10,369, 62%) or abstinent (5,488, 33%) categories. Among women, all alcohol groups had greater odds of admission than low-risk users; among men, only the abstinent group had increased odds. For both genders, depression, diabetes, circulatory and musculoskeletal conditions all increased the odds of admission. For both genders, the unadjusted model showed that abstainers had increased odds of falling, with depression, diabetes, and for women, musculoskeletal conditions also associated with falls in the adjusted model. Conclusion: These outcomes suggest that older women in particular could benefit from targeted alcohol consumption messages or interventions. In relation to falls, other health conditions appear better targets for intervention than alcohol use.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:19 AEDT ]]> Assessing patterns of use of cardio-protective polypill component medicines in Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19778 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:52 AEDT ]]> Mental health service use: is there a difference between rural and non-rural women in service uptake? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20845 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:16 AEDT ]]> Supporting housing and neighbourhoods for healthy ageing: findings from the Housing and Independent Living Study (HAIL) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19193 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:54:59 AEDT ]]> Psychological distress and comorbid physical conditions: disease or disability? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19166 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:18 AEDT ]]> Good agreement between self-report and centralized hospitalizations data for arthritis-related surgeries https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20022 0.70; sensitivity and specificity >0.80) between self-report and hospitalizations data for arthritis-related surgeries.

Information on self-reported sleep difficulties, help seeking, and health-care satisfaction was obtained from four surveys collected from 2000 (aged 22-27 years) to 2009. Generalized estimating equations were conducted to calculate odds ratios (OR) for the likelihood of women who reported sleep difficulties in 2000 to report sleep difficulties at subsequent surveys. Results: The prevalence of self-reported sleep difficulties 'often' was consistent at 9.1-10.8%. Women who reported sleep difficulties 'often' in 2000 had a markedly increased risk of continued sleep difficulties 'often' over the subsequent 9 years [2003: OR (95% confidence interval, CI) = 11.07 (8.03-15.27); 2006: 12.19 (8.08-16.88); 2009: 10.70 (7.57-15.12)]. Of women who reported sleep difficulties 'often' in 2000 (N = 981), 45.1% had persistent sleep problems and 21.1% experienced relapse of symptoms. About one-third of women who reported sleep problems 'often' sought help. Conclusion: Self-reported frequent sleep difficulties in non-depressed young women strongly predicted a continuation of this level of sleep difficulty over a decade, even if help is sought. Current health practice may not be breaking the ongoing chronicity of sleep difficulties in young women.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:38 AEDT ]]> Sleep difficulties and the development of depression and anxiety: a longitudinal study of young Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20651 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:55 AEDT ]]> Retirement, age, gender and mental health: findings from the 45 and up study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26835 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:38 AEDT ]]> Association between nighttime sleep and successful aging among older Chinese people https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27863 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:11 AEDT ]]> Gender, mental health, physical health and retirement: a prospective study of 21,608 Australians aged 55-69 years https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27869 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:10 AEDT ]]> Urinary incontinence and social function in older Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29689 P <.001), adjusted for time, health, and social covariates in the model with no time lag.

Women had a higher risk of obesity and hypercholesterolemia and raised blood pressure in later life (P <.001). In contrast, men had a higher risk of being a current smoker and raised blood pressure at younger age (P <.001). The gender inequalities in hypertension, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia can be accounted for by disparities in socioeconomic factors between men and women, particularly involvement in paid work. However, the inequalities were also accounted for by different effects of the socioeconomic factors in men and women. Gender is interlinked with socioeconomic and biological factors in determining health. This emphasizes the need of gender responsive policies to control and prevent chronic disease.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:57 AEDT ]]> Anticholinergic burden in older women: not seeing the wood for the trees? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25011 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:40 AEDT ]]> Socio-demographic differences of disability prevalence among the population aged 60 years and over in Bangladesh https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30405 Mon 30 Apr 2018 15:21:18 AEST ]]> Age of obesity onset, cumulative obesity exposure over early adulthood and risk of type 2 diabetes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38451 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:57:23 AEDT ]]> Better diet quality scores are associated with a lower risk of hypertension and non-fatal CVD in middle-aged Australian women over 15 years of follow-up https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38996 n 5324), without CVD, hypertension and diabetes at baseline (2001), with complete FFQ data.

Women reporting better adherence to the MDS (≥8/17) had 27 % (95 % CI 15, 47 %; P = 0·0006) lower odds of hypertension and 30 % (95 % CI 2, 50 %; P = 0·03) lower odds of non-fatal CVD. Conclusions: Better adherence to diet quality scores is associated with lower risk of hypertension and non-fatal CVD. These results support the need for updated evidenced based on the ADG as well as public health nutrition policies in Australia.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:54:29 AEDT ]]> Contextualizing urban living as a determinant of women's health in Jakarta, Indonesia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34279 Mon 25 Feb 2019 14:55:14 AEDT ]]> Determinants of driving among oldest-old Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44758 Mon 24 Oct 2022 08:49:25 AEDT ]]> Medications use among women with dementia: a cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44740 Mon 24 Oct 2022 08:35:45 AEDT ]]> Older women's patterns of home and community care use and transition to residential aged care: an Australian cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37864 Mon 24 May 2021 12:44:01 AEST ]]> Trajectories of long-term residential care needs among older Australian women: a cohort study using linked data https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37865 Mon 24 May 2021 12:42:40 AEST ]]> Latent Class Analysis of Low Birth Weight and Preterm Delivery among Australian Women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40735 Mon 18 Jul 2022 12:51:18 AEST ]]> Utility estimations of health states of older Australian women with atrial fibrillation using SF-6D https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46241 N = 1432 women diagnosed with AF from 2000 to 2015 of the old cohort (born 1921–26) of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) who remained alive for at least 12 months post first recorded AF diagnosis. Self-reported data on demographics, health behaviours, health conditions, and SF-36 were obtained from the ALSWH surveys, corresponding to within three years of the date of the first record of AF diagnosis. Linked Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) data determined the use of oral anticoagulants and comorbid conditions, included in CHA2DS2-VA (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes, Stroke or TIA, Vascular disease and Age 65–74 years) score calculation, were assessed using state-based hospital admissions data. Utility scores were calculated for every woman from their SF-36 responses using the SF-6D algorithm with Australian population norms. Mean utility scores were then calculated for women with various demographic, health behaviours, and clinical characteristics. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression modelling was performed to determine factors associated with these utility scores. Two different scenarios were used for the analysis: (1) complete-case, for women with complete data on all the SF-36 items required to estimate SF-6D (N = 584 women), and (2) Multiple Imputation (MI) for missing data, applied to missing values on SF-36 items (N = 1432 women). MI scenario was included to gauge the potential bias when using complete data only. Results: The mean health utility was estimated to be 0.638 ± 0.119 for the complete dataset and 0.642 ± 0.120 for the dataset where missing values were handled using MI. Using the MI technique, living in regional and remote areas (β=0.016±0.007) and the use of oral anticoagulants (β=0.021±0.007) were positively associated with health utility compared to living in major cities and no use of anticoagulants, respectively. Difficulty to manage on available income (β=−0.027±0.009), no/low physical activity (β=−0.069±0.011), disability (β=−0.097±0.008), history of stroke (β=−0.025±0.013) and history of arthritis (β=−0.024±0.007) were negatively associated with health utility. Conclusion: This study presents health utility estimates for older women with AF. These estimates can be used in future clinical and economic research. The study also highlights better health utilities for women living in regional and remote areas, which requires further exploration.]]> Mon 14 Nov 2022 13:17:50 AEDT ]]> Patterns of Medications for Atrial Fibrillation Among Older Women: Results From the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44215 85% for most of the latent statuses. All factors but diabetes mellitus among the CHA2DS2-VA scoring scheme were independently associated with latent status membership at the time of AF diagnosis. Conclusions: Evaluation of pharmacological treatment indicates that prevention of thromboembolism is inadequate among women with AF. There exists wide variations in medication patterns. However, once in a particular pattern, women are likely to continue the same medications long-term. This underscores the importance of initial assessment of patient profile and stroke risk score in determining the treatment for AF. Failure to assess risk makes women susceptible to devastating AF complications.]]> Mon 10 Oct 2022 16:52:36 AEDT ]]> Predictors of 15-year survival among Australian women with diabetes from age 76-81 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36202 Mon 02 Mar 2020 12:36:37 AEDT ]]> Housing and care for older women in australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45461 Fri 28 Oct 2022 14:37:28 AEDT ]]> Impact of diabetes on life and healthy life expectancy among older women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39242 Fri 27 May 2022 14:39:33 AEST ]]> Clustering method for censored and collinear survival data https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41095 Fri 22 Jul 2022 18:07:19 AEST ]]> The preventable burden of endometrial and ovarian cancers in Australia: a pooled cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35870 Fri 21 Oct 2022 11:25:56 AEDT ]]> Health insurance coverage among women in Indonesia's major cities: a multilevel analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33346 Fri 15 Oct 2021 10:59:31 AEDT ]]> Uptake, prevalence and predictors of first-time use for the 75+ Health Assessment Scheme https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33223 Fri 14 Sep 2018 09:19:07 AEST ]]> Validation of a residential aged care consumer experience survey, 2019 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47368 Fri 13 Jan 2023 15:04:37 AEDT ]]> Age and cohort rise in diabetes prevalence among older Australian women: case ascertainment using survey and healthcare administrative data https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38491 Fri 12 Nov 2021 12:50:35 AEDT ]]> Obesity risk among young Australian women: a prospective latent class analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46119 N = 8,177) were followed up every 2 to 3 years to ages 37 to 42 using the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health. A latent class analysis identified obesity-risk classes based on time-dependent measures of income, education, physical activity, sleep quality, dietary behavior, depression, stressful events, and social functioning. Cox proportional hazards regression models examined associations between incident obesity and latent classes, controlling for covariates. Results: Four latent classes were identified, including a lower-risk referent class and classes characterized by poor exercise and diet, stress and low income, and multiple intermediate-level risks. Compared with the referent, all three risk classes had significantly higher obesity risk, with the highest risk in the stress and low-income group (hazard ratio = 2.22; 95% CI: 1.92-2.56). Individual risks associated with obesity included lower education, stressful life events, and lower vigorous physical activity. Conclusions: Young women without baseline obesity were at risk of developing obesity when they experienced co-occurring behavioral, socioeconomic, and psychosocial risks. Both latent classes and individual risk indicators offer insights into prevention strategies.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 15:01:11 AEDT ]]> Thyroid cancers potentially preventable by reducing overweight and obesity in Australia: A pooled cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45747 Fri 04 Nov 2022 10:26:56 AEDT ]]> Housing for older Australians: changing capacities and constrained choices https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45734 Fri 04 Nov 2022 09:59:39 AEDT ]]> Effects of dietary interventions on pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24673 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:35:49 AEDT ]]> The relationship between spinal pain and comorbidity: a cross-sectional analysis of 579 community-dwelling, older Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33863 Fri 01 Apr 2022 09:28:51 AEDT ]]>
