After adjustment, adolescents supplied alcohol by parents had higher odds of drinking whole beverages [odds ratio (OR) 1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33–2.45] than those not supplied by parents. However, parental supply was not associated with bingeing, and those supplied alcohol by parents typically consumed fewer drinks per occasion (incidence rate ratio 0.86, 95% CI 0.77–0.96) than adolescents supplied only from other sources. Adolescents obtaining alcohol from non-parental sources had increased odds of drinking whole beverages (OR 2.53, 95% CI 1.86–3.45) and bingeing (OR 3.51, 95% CI 2.53–4.87). Parental supply of alcohol to adolescents was associated with increased risk of drinking, but not bingeing. These parentally-supplied children also consumed fewer drinks on a typical drinking occasion. Adolescents supplied alcohol from non-parental sources had greater odds of drinking and bingeing. Further follow-up is necessary to determine whether these patterns continue, and to examine alcohol-related harm trajectories. Parents should be advised that supply of alcohol may increase children's drinking.]]> Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:53:48 AEDT ]]> Liminality, COVID-19 and the long crisis of young adults' employment https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53684 Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:38:11 AEDT ]]> The burden of pancreatic cancer in Australia attributable to smoking https://novaprd-lb.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).

Logistic regression with discrete time survival analyses investigated the association between breakfast cereal intake and incident diabetes. Models were adjusted for income, BMI, smoking, physical activity, education, and dietary intakes and included a measure of time. There were 637 incident cases of diabetes. Breakfast cereal intake per se was not associated with incident diabetes (OR: 1.00; P =.98). Muesli consumption on its own (OR: 0.74; P =.00) or as a part of oats-based cereal (OR: 0.84; P =.047) was significantly associated with a decrease in the odds of developing diabetes. No other breakfast cereals were significantly associated with diabetes risk. Among mid-aged Australian women, muesli consumption was associated with a reduction in diabetes risk. This effect may be due to a particular profile of muesli eaters, but the relationship warrants further investigation.]]> Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:32:43 AEDT ]]> Age of Alcohol Initiation and Progression to Binge Drinking in Adolescence: A Prospective Cohort Study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43039 4 standard drinks on a single occasion), and (ii) the total number of alcoholic drinks consumed in the past year, adjusted for a range of potential child, parent, family, and peer covariates. Results: Fifty percent of adolescents reported alcohol use and 36% reported bingeing at wave 5 (mean age 16.9 years), and the mean age of initiation to alcohol use for drinkers was 15.1 years. Age of initiation was significantly associated with binge drinking and total quantity of alcohol consumed in unadjusted and adjusted models. Age of first drunkenness was associated with total quantity of alcohol consumed in unadjusted models but not adjusted models and was not associated with subsequent bingeing. Conclusions: Initiating alcohol use earlier in adolescence is associated with an increased risk of binge drinking and higher quantity of consumption in late secondary school, supporting an argument for delaying alcohol initiation for as long as possible to reduce the risk for problematic use in later adolescence and the alcohol-related harms that may accompany this use.]]> Thu 24 Aug 2023 09:26:02 AEST ]]> Trajectories of alcohol-induced blackouts in adolescence: early risk factors and alcohol use disorder outcomes in early adulthood https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49317 Thu 11 May 2023 14:53:09 AEST ]]> Cohort profile: the Hunter Community Study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9648 60 years is growing faster than any other age group and is expected to reach 2 billion worldwide by 2050. Internationally and nationally, considerable efforts are being made to promote active ageing. However, Australia lacks the kind of comprehensive longitudinal research underway in Europe and North America. Although Australia does have a number of longitudinal studies designed to address various issues of health and ageing among older adults, only a few of these studies include a broad and comprehensive range of physical and biological measures. The Hunter Community Study (HCS) is a collaborative study between the University of Newcastle’s School of Medicine and Public Health and the Hunter New England Area Health Service. It is a multi disciplinary initiative that was established to fill some existing gaps in ageing research in Australia and is unique in that it has collected detailed information across all six key policy themes as identified in the Framework for an Australian Ageing Research Agenda.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:25 AEDT ]]> A longitudinal analysis of older Australian women's consultations with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners, 1996-2005 https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:7331 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:12 AEDT ]]> Transforming the SF-36 to account for death in longitudinal studies with three-year follow-up https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1065 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:32:09 AEDT ]]> Long-term follow-up of people with co-existing psychiatric and substance use disorders: patterns of use and outcomes https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1170 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:44 AEDT ]]> The impact of attrition in an 11-Year prospective longitudinal study of younger women https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:10761 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:54 AEDT ]]> Cohort management: developing and maintaining participant databases in longitudinal studies https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:10327 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:07:02 AEDT ]]> Fruit and vegetable consumption among mid-age and older women in Australia https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:6681 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:12 AEDT ]]> The big picture: the health and well-being of three generations of women in rural and remote areas of Australia https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:6385 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:10 AEDT ]]> Bidirectional prospective associations of metabolic syndrome components with depression, anxiety, and antidepressant use https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:29253 N = 2,776; 18–65 years; 66% female). At baseline, 2- and 6-year follow-up, participants completed diagnostic interviews, depression and anxiety symptom inventories, antidepressant use assessment, and measurements of the five metabolic syndrome components. Data were analyzed for the consistency of associations between psychopathology indicators and metabolic syndrome components across the three assessment waves, and whether psychopathology or antidepressant use at one assessment predicts metabolic dysregulation at the next and vice versa. Results: Consistently across waves, psychopathology was associated with generally poorer values of metabolic syndrome components, particularly waist circumference and triglycerides. Stronger associations were observed for psychopathology symptom severity than diagnosis. Antidepressant use was independently associated with higher waist circumference, triglycerides and number of metabolic syndrome abnormalities, and lower HDL-C. Symptom severity and antidepressant use were associated with subsequently increased number of abnormalities, waist circumference, and glucose after 2 but not 4 years. Conversely, there was little evidence that metabolic syndrome components were associated with subsequent psychopathology outcomes. Conclusions: Symptom severity and antidepressant use were independently associated with metabolic dysregulation consistently over time and also had negative consequences for short-term metabolic health. This is of concern given the chronicity of depression and anxiety and prevalence of antidepressant treatment.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:17 AEDT ]]> Students' reading and writing 'in transition': what lessons can be learnt from a case study of A-levels to university transitions to help enabling educators to 'bridge the gap' into undergraduate study? https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26501 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:33 AEDT ]]> Examination of the association between mental health, morbidity, and mortality in late life: findings from longitudinal community surveys https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26739 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:48 AEDT ]]> Positive components of mental health provide significant protection against likelihood of falling in older women over a 13-year period https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26758 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:44 AEDT ]]> Longitudinal diet quality is not associated with depressive symptoms in a cohort of middle-aged Australian women https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:24437 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:17:20 AEDT ]]> Burden of atrial fibrillation and stroke risk among octagenarian and nonagenarian women in Australia https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39018 2DS2-VA scheme, were calculated. Factors associated with AF were assessed using logistic regression. Results: From 2000 to 2015, a total of 1827 women with AF were identified. AF prevalence increased every year as women aged from 2.71% (95% CI 1.62%–3.80%) in 2000 among women aged 74–79 years to 24.83% (95% CI = 23.23%–26.44%) in 2015 among women aged 89–94 years. The incidence proportion remained constant (between 3% and 5%) throughout the study period. Sedentary lifestyle (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.04–1.49), hypertension (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.09–1.42), arthritis (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.09–1.41), heart attack (OR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.18–2.24), and angina (OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.14–1.70) were independently associated with AF. Mean CHA2DS2-VA score for women with AF was 3.43 (SD ± 1.23). Conclusions: The prevalence of AF reported in Australian women is among the highest compared to previous estimations from other countries and regions. According to the findings, about one in four women over the age of 90 years had AF. These women were also at high risk of stroke. This has significant public health implications especially with changing demographics of increase in the aging population. Further research is required on understanding how women with AF are treated in Australia and their health outcomes.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:43:06 AEDT ]]> Validation of a two-factor model of the Best Start Kindergarten Assessment of literacy and numeracy https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47465 Mon 23 Jan 2023 10:30:30 AEDT ]]> Long-term trajectories of employment status, workhours and disability support pension status, after a first episode of CNS demyelination https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51774 Mon 18 Sep 2023 14:29:20 AEST ]]> Patterns of Medications for Atrial Fibrillation Among Older Women: Results From the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health https://novaprd-lb.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 ]]> Longitudinal inconsistency in responses to survey items that ask women about intimate partner violence https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42180 n = 13,715). Consistency of self-reported IPV was evaluated by responses to the question “Have you ever been in a violent relationship with a partner/spouse?” Demographic and health characteristics of consistent and inconsistent reporters of IPV were compared. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the strength of the association between demographic and health characteristics of the women and their consistency of longitudinal reporting of IPV. Results: There were 10,966 women who answered IPV questions over six surveys, with 9610 women (87.6%) providing consistent responses. Inconsistent responses were provided by 1356 women (12.4%), of whom 258 (2.4%) reported IPV at all but one survey (Mainly IPV), 587 (5.3%) reported no IPV at all but one survey (Mainly no IPV), and 511 (4.7%) reported Mixed IPV responses over time. Women in the Mainly IPV group, and those in the Mixed IPV group were similar to those in the Consistent IPV group in demographic and health characteristics, whereas women in the Mainly no IPV group were similar to those in the Consistent never IPV group. Conclusions: IPV data collected at one time point may involve around 12% false negative or false positive responses. To increase reliability, IPV should be measured on more than one occasion, using different techniques and methods that account for intentional and unintentional over- and under-reporting.]]> Fri 26 Aug 2022 08:16:43 AEST ]]> Gender differences in the supply of alcohol to adolescent daughters and sons https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48638 4 standard drinks), and alcohol-related harms. Results: At mean age of 12.9 years about one in ten children report parental supply of alcohol which increases to about four in ten children by 17.8 years.
