Migration-related inequalities in loneliness across age groups: a cross-national comparative study in Europe
This study aims to contribute to the growing interest in the consequences of migration for loneliness by investigating the role of generational status across various age groups in countries with differing integration policies and attitudes towards immigrants. Using data from rounds 5, 6 and 7 of the European Social Survey, I conducted logistic multilevel models on a sample of 121,835 respondents aged 18 years and older, residing in 26 countries. Loneliness was assessed based on a single-item item question from the Center for Epidemiologic Studies of Depression scale. The findings suggest that individuals with a migration...

Evolution of the income-related gap in health with old age: evidence from 20 countries in European and Chinese panel datasets
AbstractSome studies show that the protective effect of higher income on healthweakens with old age (age-as-leveller pattern), whereas others show that itstrengthens with old age (cumulative advantage/disadvantage pattern). Many existing studies are limited in that they use single-country and/or single-timepoint designs. To overcome these limitations and better understand how the income-health gradient evolves in older age, we used cross-national and longitudinal data of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (2004 –2019,N = 73,407) and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011–2018,N�...

The role of semantic assessment in the differential diagnosis between late-life depression and Alzheimer ’s disease or amnestic mild cognitive impairment: systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionAssessment of semantic memory can be a discriminating clue for the distinction between depression and Alzheimer ’s disease but some methodological variables are highly influential to the scores, especially education. However, high-executive semantic tasks alone do not allow us to clearly distinguish LLD from AD or aMCI, as both pathologies seem to have a largely dialectical influential relationship, but low -executive semantic tasks appear as more sensible to this pathological distinction.

The association of previous night's sleep duration with cognitive function among older adults: a pooled analysis of three Finnish cohorts
ConclusionsThis study suggests that while long sleep duration was associated with worse cognitive function, sleeping more than usually the night prior to cognitive testing was only associated with information processing, and sleeping less than usually is not associated with cognitive function.

Investigating the influence of work-related stress on early labour market exit: the role of health
This study examined whether work stress is associated with early labour market exit. In addition, we investigated whether health mediates this association. Survey data of the German Cohort Study on Work, Age, Health and Work Participation (lidA study) were linked to register data from the Federal Employment Agency, from which information on labour market exit was obtained (n = 3636). During a 6-year follow-up period, Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the influence of work-related stress and health on early labour market exit, adjusting for sex, age, education, occupational status, income and super...

Length of the period with late life dependency: Does the age of onset make a difference?
In this study, we measured how the age at onset of late life dependency relates to the time spent with late life dependency. Using Swedish register data, we identified people 70 + who entered the period of late life dependency (measured by entering long-term care for help with PADLs) between June and December 2008. We followed this cohort (n = 17,515) for 7 years, or until death. We used Laplace regression models to estimate the median number of months with late life dependency by age group, gender, level of education and country of birth. We also calculated the crude percentiles (p10, p25, p50, p75 and p90) of m...
