Abstract Background We observed a lack of population-based longitudinal research examining the association of disadvantaged childhood socioeconomic circumstances (CSC) and disability [activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL)] in older age, and whether socioeconomic attainments in adulthood can compensate for a poor socioeconomic start in life. Methods Data on 24 440 persons aged 50–96 in 14 European countries (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) were used to measure the associations between CSC and limitations with ADL and with IADL, using mixed-effects logistic regression models. Models stratified by gender were adjusted for education during young adulthood, main occupation during middle age, ability to make ends meet during old age and potential confounding and control variables. Results Risks of ADL and IADL limitations increased with age and were different between women and men. For women, a gradient across CSC strata was observed, showing that the more disadvantaged the CSC, the higher the risk of ADL and IADL limitations in old age, even after adjustment for adult socioeconomic indicators. For men, the association between CSC and disability was mediated by the main occupation in middle age and the ability to make ends meet at older age. Conclusion Women who grew up in socioeconomically disadvantaged households were at higher risk of disability in older age and this disadvantage was not attenuated by favourable adult socioeconomic conditions. Men were more likely to make up for a disadvantaged start in adulthood.

Abstract Background Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause for mobility limitations and disability at older age. However, little is known about the developmental pathways of LBP and its associations with old age mobility and disability. We studied trajectories of LBP from midlife to retirement (16-years follow-up) and assessed the association after 12 years with mobility limitations and disability in activities of daily living (ADL) at old age. Methods Finnish municipal employees were studied at baseline in 1981 and followed for 28 years. A total of 6257 persons aged 44-58 years, answered a questionnaire on health, work ability, and working conditions. Follow-up data on frequency of LBP (never, occasionally, consistently) was collected similarly at four waves. The study population consisted of persons who answered questions about LBP at baseline and at least in one of the follow-up waves and had information about ADL disability (n = 2787) and mobility limitations (n = 2723) at the 28-year follow-up. Latent class growth curve analysis was used to study LBP trajectories. Odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations of LBP trajectory with ADL disability and mobility limitations were estimated using multivariable logistic regression. Results We identified two trajectories of LBP: high (77%) and low (23%). People in the high trajectory group had 2.35 times higher odds (95% CI 1.88- 2.97) of ADL disability and 1.86 times higher odds (95% CI 1.56-2.22) of mobility limitations as compared to the low trajectory group. Effects were attenuated by adjustment for lifestyle factors and chronic conditions but remained statistically significant for both outcomes [OR 1.74 (95% CI 1.37-2.24) and 1.44 (1.18-1.77), respectively]. Conclusions High LBP experienced during midlife may have far reached consequences on well-being at old age. Prevention of LBP during mid-life could reduce mobility limitations and disability at old age and promote a healthy ageing. Key messages Our results show that low back pain experienced during midlife is associated with mobility limitations and disability in activities of daily living at old age. Our results suggest that emphasis should be put on promotion of musculoskeletal health in midlife as this may help to reduce disability and mobility limitations at old age.

Age associated cognitive decline is an important human experience which differs in extent between individuals. Activities of daily living are linked to cognitive function. A descriptive study was conducted to identify correlation between the cognitive impairment (CI) and the performance of activities of daily living (ADL) among elderly people residing in selected old-age homes of West Bengal. The study aimed to determine the relationship between the CI and the performance of ADL among elderly people. Non experimental survey research approach was adopted to collect data from 150 subjects by simple random sampling technique with the help of Demographic Proforma, GPCOG Screening Test and Barthel Index. The study findings revealed that 43.33% of the respondents had cognitive impairment whereas 56.66% were cognitively intact. ADL assessment depicted that 43.33% were moderately dependent, 33.33% were independent, 14.66% were slightly dependent, followed by 8.66% of the respondents who were severely dependent. A strong positive correlation was found between CI and ADL (r = 0.87) and also between CI and age (r = 0.97) of the participants. Statistically significant association was found between cognitive impairment and gender (χ2 = 5.99, <0.05), education (χ2 = 8.81, <0.05), previous occupation (χ2 = 12.80, <0.01), self financial support (χ2 = 10.12, <0.01), family type (χ2 = 15.77, <0.001), presence of chronic disease (χ2 = 4.10, <0.05). Considering the findings some recommendations were offered for future research such as to conduct the study on large sample and different settings.
