Gender-specific changes in well-being in older people with coronary heart disease: evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing

The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) is a panel study of a representative cohort of men and women living in England aged 550 years. It was designed as a sister study to the Health and Retirement Study in the USA and is multidisciplinary in orientation, involving the collection of economic, social, psychological, cognitive, health, biological and genetic data.

This study aims to investigate the association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and physical disability at older age, using a framework that incorporates education, social class and wealth.

The objective of this study is to examine whether wealth gradients in the incidence of illness decline with age, and, if so, whether this decline is explained by differential mortality.

The objective of this study was to assess the receipt of effective healthcare interventions in England by adults aged 50 or more with serious health conditions.

This study examined the link between SSS and health in old age and investigated whether SSS mediated the associations between objective indicators of socioeconomic status and health.
