The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

52.8K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Applications of Life Tables

138
Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion

42
In geriatric patients, renal physiology undergoes significant changes, including diminished renal blood flow and a lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to alterations in medication clearance. Drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, lithium, and digoxin, which rely on glomerular filtration for removal from the body, particularly impact pharmacokinetics. These drugs tend to have slower clearance rates in older adults, necessitating careful dosage considerations.Evaluation of renal...

Truncation in Survival Analysis01:09

Truncation in Survival Analysis

343
Truncation in survival analysis refers to the exclusion of individuals or events from the dataset based on specific criteria related to the time of the event. This exclusion can happen in two primary forms: left truncation and right truncation.
Left truncation occurs when individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time are not included in the study. This is often due to a "delayed entry" into the study where only those who survive until a certain entry point are...

Summary

Nearly one-third of older UK workers do night or shift work, which is linked to poor health, sleep issues, and higher job exit rates for women. Sustaining this work may be difficult for older employees.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Gerontology
  • Sociology of work

Background:

  • Growing trend of night/shift work.
  • Limited data on prevalence among older workers.
  • Government initiatives encourage later working lives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate prevalence of night/shift work in older workers (50-64).
  • Evaluate health impacts of night/shift work.
  • Assess sustainability of night/shift work over 4 years.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Health and Employment After Fifty cohort data.
  • Described demographic, job, and health characteristics.
  • Employed longitudinal analysis for workforce exits.

Main Results:

  • 32% of 5409 older workers engaged in night/shift work.
  • Night/shift workers reported higher rates of smoking, physical demands, work stress, dissatisfaction, depression, poor sleep, and poor health ratings.
  • Women in night/shift jobs showed increased likelihood of workforce exit over 4 years.

Conclusions:

  • Prevalence of night/shift work is high among UK older workers (nearly 1 in 3).
  • Evidence suggests adverse effects on health, sleep, and well-being.
  • Night/shift work poses challenges for older workers, particularly women, with potential health consequences.
