“…Labor market transitions into and out of the labor market significantly shape the working life course. Model 3 highlights the need to capture the vari ous ways in which individuals engage in the labor market over the working life course creating multiple transitions between different labor market experiences and health states [eg, (4,29) Labor markets and health on development and subsequent health outcomes. To be defined as a critical period, there must be no excess health risk associated with exposure outside this window (20,21).…”

“…Recently, social epidemiological research on work and family has integrated life course principles into the methodology to examine working life trajectories (4,5). Social epidemiology has considered theoretical models of exposure broadly focused on the socio ecological causes of health (6,7), social triggers of biological events (8), the social structuring of work exposures (9), the role of social context in affect ing unemployment (10), and precarious employment contracts (11).…”

Integrating a life course perspective into work and health research leads to a new approach to conceptualizing research questions that: (1) account for prior non-work and health states and significant life transitions; (2) offer a new work and health nomenclature reflecting transitions, experiences, trajectories, and context; and, (3) place a primary research focus on labor markets and health trajectories.Affiliation:

“…First, one strand of work (presented in chapter 4) addresses the relationship between holistic patterns of family formation over the adult life course and later-life physical health. This complements a growing number of studies seeking to understand how life course pathways as wholes -rather than disaggregated into component indicators -are linked to long-term socio-economic (Halpern-Manners et al 2015) and health (Sabbath et al 2015;McMunn et al 2015) outcomes. Second, three empirical chapters focus on the relationship between age at first birth and long-run health, which represents one of the best established and most consistent associations between family and health (e.g.…”

“…First developed in bioinformatics, sequence analysis was introduced to the social sciences by Abbott (1983Abbott ( , 1995Abbott & Forrest 1986;Abbott & Tsay 2000), and has recently experienced a surge in popularity, with researchers using the method to investigate trajectories of labour market, family, and housing states. For example, Spallek, Haynes and Jones (2014) investigate housing pathways in tandem with family formation, Fasang and Raab (2014) explore intergenerational similarity in patterns of family formation, and Sabbath et al (2015) assess the links between work-family life course patterns and women's longrun mortality risk.…”

“…Marriage and parenthood have been shown to be associated with diverse health outcomes With some notable exceptions (Henretta 2007;Kravdal et al 2012;Sabbath et al 2015;Williams et al 2011), most research has focused on marital or fertility histories as independent predictors of health. However, there are compelling reasons to suggest that marital and fertility trajectories will be interdependently related to health.…”

Family formation patterns and physical health in Australia: a life course approach

O’Flaherty¹

Social science has long studied the relationships between processes of family formation and health, although empirical patterns in this domain of study are often variable, and their interpretation uncertain. Constrained by lack of suitable data, analytic techniques, and conceptual tools, work in this area has until recently been largely static, focussed on documenting and interpreting crosssectional associations between occupancy of family roles and health. However, as data and methodology matured and developed economies continued their transition away from the once dominant 'male breadwinner' model of the family, more sophisticated approaches that acknowledge the dynamic relationships between family formation and health have become both more feasible and more urgent.This thesis applies a life course approach to the study of family formation and health in the (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014), and form the primary material for four empirical chapters. The first empirical chapter utilizes multichannel sequence analysis and growth models to investigate how holistic patterns of family formation (incorporating both partnership and fertility trajectories from ages 18-50) are associated with trajectories of physical health at ages 51 and older. For men, family life course trajectories characterized by early family formation, failure to marry, or early divorce without subsequent remarriage are found to be predictive of poorer health outcomes, while for women only those who experienced high fertility paired with a disrupted marital history were found to be in poorer health than those who experienced a normatively 'standard' family life course.The second, third, and fourth empirical chapters focus on different aspects of the relationship between parental age at first birth and later life heath. The first of these contextualizes changes in first birth timing in historical context, presents a descriptive analysis of the characteristics of younger/older first time mothers and fathers, and uses multinomial logistic regression to assess the contribution of early-life family and socio-economic disadvantage, health, and cognitive and noncognitive skills to first birth timing. Consistent with prior research, background family disadvantage and age at school leaving was found to have strong effects on birth timing, in particular for women.ii There was also some evidence of health selection into early first birth, with the largest effects again found for women.The third empirical chapter considers the effect of first birth timing on long-term health outcomes (ages 41 and older). In addition to the primary issue of whether there is an effect of birth timing on health, the analysis pays particular attention to several research questions: first, which pre- as mechanisms, as changes at the time of the parenthood transition and in the years thereafter did not differ depending on age at first birth. Younger parents do experience potentially harmful changes in alcohol use and soc...

BACKGROUNDWe examined the sequences of clinical care leading to diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) using electronic health records from a large academic medical center.METHODSWe included patients aged 65+ with their first ADRD diagnoses from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2019. Using state sequence analysis, care sequences were defined by the ordering of healthcare utilizations occurred in the 2 years before ADRD diagnosis.RESULTSOf 3621 patients (median age 80), nearly half followed a care sequence of having one primary care visit close to their ADRD diagnosis. Additional care sequences included periodic (n = 322, 8.9%) and multiple (n = 416, 11.5%) outpatient visits to primary care and having one (n = 395, 10.9%), multiple (n = 469, 13.0%), or highly frequent (n = 357, 10.7%) outpatient visits to other specialties. Patients’ sociodemographic traits contributed to the variability in care sequences.CONCLUSIONSSeveral distinct patterns of care leading to ADRD diagnoses were identified. Integrated care models are needed to promote early identification of ADRD.Highlights Dementia patients followed distinct care pathways prior to their dementia diagnoses. Key sociodemographic traits contributed to the variation in the sequences of care. Racial differences in the sequencing of care were also found, but only in women.
