While, not counting on someone to trust (HR= 1.59; p< 0.03) and having a sense a lack of control over important decisions in life increased the mortality risk. Conclusions: Given that frailty and the SDH affect health using independent pathways, public health systems in Mexico could benefit from increasing the capacity of identifying frail and isolated older adults and providing a risk-stratified health care accordingly.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 11:43:11 AEDT ]]> Social-economic status and cognitive performance among Chinese aged 50 years and older https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29597 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:28:20 AEDT ]]> Edentulism and quality of life among older Ghanaian adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22816 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:09:56 AEST ]]> The impact of multimorbidity on adult physical and mental health in low- and middle-income countries: what does the study on global ageing and adult health (SAGE) reveal? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22846 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:46:51 AEST ]]> Risk factors and disability associated with low back pain in older adults in low- and middle-income countries.

Methods: Depression was estimated using a behavior-based diagnostic algorithm, inflammation using venous dried blood spot (DBS) CRP, central adiposity using waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and uncontrolled diabetes using venous DBS-glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Results: The association between depression and uncontrolled diabetes was partially mediated by CRP before but not after WHtR was considered. When WHtR was added to the model, it partially mediated the relationship between diabetes and depression while fully mediating the relationship between depression and CRP. Conclusions: These findings suggest that central adiposity may be a more significant mediator between diabetes and depression than inflammation and account for the relationship between these disorders and inflammation. Depression may cause an increase in central adiposity, which then may lead to diabetes, but the increase in known systemic inflammatory pathways caused by central adiposity may not be the key pathological mechanism.]]> Thu 14 Jul 2022 12:29:11 AEST ]]> Exposure to air pollution and tobacco smoking and their combined effects on depression in six low- and middle-income countries https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34059 2.5) and smoking and their combined (interactive) effects on depression. Method: Multilevel logistic regression analysis of baseline data of a prospective cohort study (n=41 785). The 3-year average concentrations of PM2.5 were estimated using US National Aeronautics and Space Administration satellite data, and depression was diagnosed using a standardised questionnaire. Three-level logistic regression models were applied to examine the associations with depression. Results: The odds ratio (OR) for depression was 1.09 (95% Cl 1.01-1.17) per 10μg/m³ increase in ambient PM2.5, and the association remained after adjusting for potential confounding factors (adjusted OR=1.10, 95% CI 1.02-1.19). Tobacco smoking (smoking status, frequency, duration and amount) was also significantly associated with depression. There appeared to be a synergistic interaction between ambient PM 2.5 and smoking on depression in the additive model, but the interaction was not statistically significant in the multiplicative model. Conclusions: Our study suggests that exposure to ambient PM2.5 may increase the risk of depression, and smoking may enhance this effect.]]> Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:03:15 AEDT ]]> Socioeconomic inequality in disability among adults: a multicountry study using the World Health Survey. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14111 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:23:47 AEDT ]]> Macroeconomic implications of population ageing and selected policy responses https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26364 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:08 AEDT ]]> Data resource profile: cross-national and cross-study sociodemographic and health-related harmonized domains from SAGE plus ELSA, HRS and SHARE (SAGE+, Wave 1). https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29662 n = 18 886; ELSA, n = 9181; HRS, n = 19 303; and SHARE, n = 29 917.
