Mid-career work patterns and physical and mental functioning at age 60-64: evidence from the 1946 British birth cohort.

2016

Background: Previous studies of the associations between unemployment and health have primarily focused on mental health and long-term associations have not often been explored. This study investigated if discontinuous employment in mid-career was related to self-reported physical and mental functioning at age 60–64 years. Methods: Data come from the Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development, a British cohort that has been followed-up since birth in 1946. A total of 2061 study members had data available on mid-career employment patterns and physical and mental functioning assessed using the Short Form 36 questionnaire at age 60–64.

Improvement of quality of life in elderly after inguinal hernioplasty

2011

Background Inguinal hernia represents one of the most common diseases in the elderly. It causes aching and unsightly swelling affecting quality of life (QOL), with a concomitant risk of strangulation. Despite this, an assumption of the risks of surgery may lead clinicians, particularly non-surgeons, to advise elderly patients against the repair of hernia, especially if asymptomatic [1]. The aim of this study was to evaluate QOL by a short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire [2] in elderly patients undergoing inguinal hernioplasty.
