Home confinement during the Covid-19 pandemic is usually associated with worsening mental health. In the case of older adults, although they have been identified as a vulnerable group in terms of mental health, the results of studies on the relationship between home confinement and mental health are not consistent and few studies have adopted a gender perspective. Using data from the SHARE Corona Survey (2020), we aimed to analyse the role of gender on the relationship between home confinement and increased depression in individuals aged 50 and over living in Europe and Israel. Our study shows that, although women reported increased depression/sadness during the Covid-19 pandemic more often than men, it was the latter who experienced the greatest increase.

“…We used the 2015 wave due to its implementation of a unique paper-and-pencil questionnaire which addressed exposure to potentially warfare-related traumatic events. The COVID-19 dataset is based on interviews of a sub-sample of SHARE's panel respondents via a Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), which were carried out from June until August 2020 ( Scherpenzeel et al, 2020 ). This data collection began three months after the first lockdown instated in Israel in March 2020 in response to the pandemic.…”

“…In reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the 8 th wave the fieldwork switched to telephone administered interviews (CATI) with a modified scope of the questionnaire (SHARE-COVID). The CATI questionnaire targeted the living situation under the COVID-19 pandemic and covered one's physical and mental health, health behaviours, healthcare, changes in one's economic situation and social networks (Scherpenzeel et al, 2020).…”

COVID-19 preventive behaviours among population 50+ in Poland

In order to reduce the spread of the SARS-COVID pandemic a set of measures was recommended to reduce the spread of disease and protect individual health. In this article we analyse what factors are associated with utilisation of preventive measures: washing hands, using disinfectant and covering cough among the population of men and women aged 50+. Using Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement data we estimate logistic regression models for the increased utilisation of each of the preventive behaviours on demographic, socio-economic and psychological characteristics. The results indicate that the likelihood of taking health precautions depends on age, education, level of conscientiousness, and staying isolated. For men it also matters whether they live with a partner. We discuss what the findings mean for managing preventive behaviours.
