| A465. Physical activity and optimism across the adult life-span Physical activity has previously been shown to have a positive association with mental health. Most of this work has focussed on reducing the risk of poor mental health, such as depression. Much less work has focussed on promoting positive wellbeing. The association between physical activity and mental health may also differ by age; earlier ALSWH study data indicated that the strength of the positive association between leisure time activity and mental health differed among the young, mid and older cohorts. The aim of this prospective study is to assess the association between physical activity and a specific aspect of positive wellbeing – optimism. This study will also assess whether this relationship differs between young, mid-aged and older women (cross-sectionally), and young and mid-aged women longitudinally. |

| A463. Longitudinal changes in sitting time in younger and mid-aged Australian women. There is evidence that time spent sitting is detrimentally associated with several health outcomes including type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk. While studies have reported prevalence and demographic correlates of sitting time, very little is known about longitudinal changes in sitting and whether various life events or changes in health status influence the amount of time people spend sitting. This study examines women’s reported sitting time over a nine year period in the younger and mid-aged cohorts from ALSWH and the influence of health status and life events on how long they sit for. |

| A455. Social patterning in weight trajectories in relation to pregnancy event A steady pattern of weight gain over the life course is reported for women. High BMI increases individual’s disease risk, with pregnancy introducing additional short/long term risks; including high gestational weight gain, which can influence later life BMI in the mother and affect the offspring through developmental/metabolic programming in utero.An inverse association exists between socioeconomic status (SES) and long term obesity. While women with children are reported with higher 10yr weight gain than those without, the impact of age at birth and/or inter-birth intervals on socioeconomic inequalities in BMI has not been explored. Better understanding of social inequalities in BMI (with particular attention to social mobility) will be the focus of this longitudinal analysis of the influence of pregnancy characteristics on long term weight trajectories among the ALSWH young women cohort (1973-1978).

| A454. Heterogeneity in selected health symptoms and menopause transition The menopausal transition is a normal but complex physiological and psychosocial process. This transition develops over a period of 4 to 7 years, and starts on average at around age 47. It ends with the menopause (final menstrual period) at around age 51 years, and by age 55 nearly all Australian women are postmenopausal. Symptoms typically associated with the menopausal transition include shorter cycles, irregular bleeding, vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes and night sweats), sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness and dyspareunia, decreased libido, urinary symptoms, muscle and joint pains, and changes in mood, particularly depression and anxiety. The aim of this project is to extend our work (Mishra & Dobson, 2012) by examining the relationships between menopausal transition (status), age at menopause and profiles of:1) sleep problems 2) physical functioning 3) joint pain/stiffness 4) symptoms of depression (CESD, self reported doctor diagnosed, MHI), 5) health care utilisationThe propos |

| A451. Profiles of vasomotor menopausal symptoms and risk of diabetes Vasomotor menopausal symptoms (VMS), i.e. hot flushes and night sweats, are experienced by up to 70% of women around menopause. Previous cross-sectional studies have found that women with VMS have unfavourable cardiovascular disease risk profiles. However, there is little research on whether profiles or trajectories of VMS through menopause are associated with long-term health outcomes. This study will elucidate the associations between VMS profiles and risk of diabetes – one of the most powerful markers of cardiovascular health. Findings will lead to a better understanding of the consequences of VMS. |

| A450. Dietary patterns and incidence of stroke among mid-age women Lifestyle plays an important role in the development of stroke. The increase in obesity and high caloric intake in many high and low-income countries threatens to impact on the global burden of stroke. Although diet has been reasonably well studied in relation to mortality and cardiovascular disease in general, few studies have prospectively examined the influence of dietary patterns on risk of stroke specifically. In this study we aim to investigate the relationship between dietary patterns (cooked vegetables; fruit; Mediterranean-style; processed meat, meat and takeaway; reduced fat dairy; and high fat and sugar foods) and stroke among middle-aged women over a period of six years follow-up. |

| A449. Effect of diagnosis of heart disease on physical activity behaviour of middle-aged women. Physical activity has many health benefits for healthy adults, but also for patients with heart disease, because it reduces the risk for another heart attack or other chronic diseases. However, after being diagnosed with heart disease, physical activity behaviour may change. Some patients may decrease their physical activity, whereas other may increase it or may remain at the same level. Which factors are associated with this change remains unclear. With this study we want to examine the changes in physical activity after being diagnosed with a heart disease in middle-aged women (47-64 years) and identify determinants associated with this change. |

| A448. Is statin use associated with symptomatic arthritis? Statins are a common drug used to lower cholesterol levels in people with or at risk of heart conditions. In addition to cholesterol-lowering effects, statins also seem capable of targeting mechanisms underlying osteoarthritis, including the inflammation often associated with osteoarthritis and its pain. Evidence from recent studies suggests that statin use may protect against osteoarthritis radiologic structural progression, particularly in the knee. The current study investigates whether statin use protects against symptoms of arthritis including joint pain and mobility limitations. |

| A447. The role of physical activity in the onset of joint pain in mid-age women Chronic joint pain and stiffness, the cardinal symptoms of osteoarthritis, are a major cause of disability and reduced quality of life. Physical activity is believed to play a protective role in the onset of joint pain, however, little is known about the cumulative effects of physical activity over time on the development of joint pain. The aim of this study is to examine the cumulative effects of physical activity on the risk of developing joint pain and stiffness in mid-age women. |

| A445. Applying computational stylistics to the words women use This project builds on the work of EoI 382A in examining the free-text comments in ALSWH to determine changes and patterns in the respondents' writing in relation to their life courses but applies different methods. We aim to detect trends and clusters in the styles of the respondents by statistical methods. We seek, for instance, to determine whether there are marked and consistent changes in the way respondents write which correspond with their age at the time of writing. This will help in the understanding of the shared stages these women as a group have passed through in attitudes and in world view. Do these women, who wrote comments without reference to each other, and from an individual perspective, in fact share many themes and ways of looking at the world at a particular age and stage? |

| A444. Hospital use of women 85+ More women than ever are living past the age of 85 in Australia, but little is known about the nature of their hospital service use, hospital experience and hospital outcomes. Increasing age alone is a risk factor for hospitalisation and less optimal outcomes, but other factors such as demographics and comorbidities also contribute to these experiences. As the aging population places increased demand on health services and resources, the importance of understanding the details of their hospital use is paramount. This project will investigate reasons for hospital admission and how age, demographics and comorbidities may influence the risks of hospitalisation, hospital use and hospital outcomes among older women |

| A312A. Assessing alcohol use in pregnant women using data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) The project aims to provide a better understanding of why Australian women are drinking during pregnancy. The project is focussed on the ALSWH 1973-78 cohort. Previous phases of this project examined pregnant women’s compliance with alcohol guidelines and identified predictors of prenatal alcohol consumption. A large proportion of Australian women reported drinking alcohol during pregnancy, despite guidelines promoting abstinence. Patterns of pre-pregnancy alcohol consumption (i.e. binge drinking and weekly consumption) were identified as strong predictors of alcohol use during pregnancy. Further work will explore these behaviours in more detail to determine the risk of having an alcohol-exposed pregnancy. Qualitative interviews with participants have been conducted to provide insight into women’s perceptions of the information they received about alcohol use during pregnancy. It is hoped that this project will identify the components that need to be addressed in order to reduce the hi |

A traditional Australian family meal of ‘meat and 3 veg’ possibly results in greater vegetable consumption than common meals based around rice, pasta or bread. We wish to examine whether there is an association between higher fresh meat, fish and poultry intake, and vegetable consumption. If higher fresh meat consumption is associated with higher vegetable intakes, we have the basis for further research to look at developing interventions which may help increase vegetable intakes. |

| A443. A history of abuse: Impact on physical and mental health outcomes in mid-aged women carers. Currently no research has examined the impact of an abuse history on the capacity of women to take on a caring role. Research suggests that the poorer mental health and depleted personal resources of women who have experienced abuse might make them particularly vulnerable to poorer outcomes in terms of stress and mental health (and potentially physical health) than women without such a history. This project will investigate whether women with a history of abuse are more likely to become carers and what happens to carers in terms of health and wellbeing if they have a history of abuse. |

How often have we tried to ‘save time’, wished for ‘more time’, and feel we ‘never have enough time’. Increasing work pressures and family demands means that people can feel that they are ‘running out of time’ more and more. Framed against productive ageing and role theory, this work will compare women from the younger and mid-aged cohorts across five survey points, involving: (1) latent class analysis and structural equation modelling to identify the social and health related determinants of time stress, and (2) analysis of qualitative data to help interpret differences in the younger and mid-aged women over time. |

| A435. Longitudinal analysis of the predictors and antecedents of antenatal depression Depression is the most commonly treated mental illness in Australia and is more common among women than men across all ages. In particular, high rates of depression are experienced by women aged 18 to 24 years, with up to 1 in 10 experiencing an episode of depression in the previous 12 months. The recently established National Action Plan for Perinatal Mental Health and the National Perinatal Depression Initiative have highlighted the importance of understanding the factors related to good and poor mental health for women of childbearing age. Previous research using ALSWH data has explored the predictors of postnatal depression and found a strong association between antenatal depression and postnatal depression. This project will explore the relationship between a range of psychological, health and social factors and antenatal depression. In particular, both proximal and distal measures of factors will be used in order to explore the associations between these factors. |

| A434. Validity of self-reported stroke among mid- and old-age women in ALSWH The ALSWH surveys collect data on self-reported stroke. However, we do not know how accurate this report of stroke is. In order to determine whether it is appropriate to include self-reported stroke data in analyses that address questions on the causes and consequences of stroke, we must first assess the validity of this measure. In this project we will determine the validity of self-reported stroke by ascertaining the level of agreement between this and hospital-recorded stroke among women who were included in ALSWH and resident in New South Wales. |

| A433. Lifestyle clusters and cardiovascular disease The relationship between lifestyle and disease has largely been explored by investigating the effect of single risk behaviours on disease outcomes. Many people are actually exposed to the combined effects of some or all of: an unhealthy diet (low intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, legumes, fish and high intake of red and processed meat), being overweight or obese; physical inactivity and smoking. However, few studies have examined the relationship between lifestyle clusters and outcomes, including cardiovascular disease. This project aims to identify clusters of lifestyle behaviour in mid-age women included in ALSWH, and relate these patterns to cardiovascular disease. |

| A432. Vasomotor menopausal symptoms and risk of cardiovascular disease Limited evidence suggests associations between vasomotor menopausal symptoms (VMS), that is hot flushes and night sweats, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life, but the causal pathway is unclear. For instance, it is not clear if pre-existing risk factors, that is prior to VMS, explain these findings. We will elucidate the associations between VMS and subsequent CVD outcomes, while adjusting for prior CVD risk factors. We will use data of the mid-age ALSWH cohort. A sub-study will be conducted to ascertain the incident CVD cases with validated instruments and detailed questions. Findings will have implications for preventive healthcare in women. |

Since reasons for workforce participation will change and evolve over time, we hope to identify the different associations for the young and mid-age cohorts and investigate what other activities impact workforce participation (eg. studying, family care, etc). |

Fish is a good source of LCn3PUFA and other nutrients but its consumption within Australian women is overall less than optimal based on data from the last national nutrition survey conducted in 1995. This project will provide more updated information on fish consumption in younger Australian women by examining the dietary questionnaire data collected in the 2003 and 2009 ALSWH surveys. |

It has been shown that clinically diagnosed eating disorders often have very serious health complications but it is not known what the long term consequences of the more prevalent, milder forms of disordered eating are. We will study how disordered eating in childhood, adolescence and young adult age is related to women’s later body size, underweight, overweight, obesity and body satisfaction. |

Earlier research from the ALSWH showed that risk factors for eating disorders are present across a range of ethnic groups with Australian-born women being at a slightly higher risk than foreign born. We will study how disordered eating and dieting in childhood, adolescence and young adult age is influenced by women’s social background, place of residence (urban or rural), education and income. If disordered eating is more common or more persistent in certain social groups, it is important to take this into account when planning interventions. |

Epidemiology of menstrual symptoms and their impact on healthcare use and QoL Menstrual symptoms, including premenstrual tension (PMT), heavy bleeding, severe period pain and irregular periods, are a major cause of morbidity for women of reproductive age. They can significantly impact on women’s health-related quality of life, interfering with employment, inter-person relationships and family and social life.We propose to conduct a longitudinal analysis, using ALSWH data, to determine the prevalence of menstrual symptoms, to identify predictors/risk factors for women who develop menstrual symptoms and to study patterns of change of menstrual symptoms throughout women’s reproductive life. In addition, we aim to determine the degree to which these symptoms affect women’s health status (health-related quality of life – SF-36), healthcare utilisation, and work impairment. |

Happiness is an indicator of overall subjective well-being which has variously been described as increasing over the lifespan1,2 or declining with advancing age3. Happiness may be a reliable and simple indicator of what is variously described as successful, healthy, active or productive ageing. In late adulthood, happiness has been associated with a range of demographic, health related and psychosocial factors, but with conflicting results. We aim to explore factors associated with happiness in older women both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. |

Proton pump inhibitor use and subsequent prescribing of anti-osteoporosis medication Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used in Australia to prevent and treat a range of gastrointestinal disorders, including peptic ulcer and gastro-oesophageal reflux. Use of PPIs, especially at higher doses or for long periods of time has been reported to lead to increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. We plan to investigate whether women in the older age cohort of ALSWH receiving PPIs have a higher rate of subsequent prescribing of anti-osteoporosis medications. Australia has a higher use of PPIs than other countries, therefore evidence of increased osteoporosis possibly attributed to this would be of concern and could lead to reappraisal of the risk/benefit analysis for clinical use of PPIs. |

Exploring the antecedents and predictors of termination of pregnancy (TOP) in the 1973-78 cohort of ALSWH As part of a suite of studies addressing the reduction of unwanted pregnancy, the aim of this study is to examine what factors are associated longitudinally with termination of pregnancy (TOP) among women. We are interested in how antecedents and predictors of TOP might change over time. We propose to examine this among all women who have reported one or more TOPs in the five surveys of the Young (1973-1978) cohort. We anticipate factors may include socio-economic status, contraceptive practice, health service use , abuse status, number of partners, alcohol and other drug use and aspirations by the age of 35. |

Oestrogen exposure index (OEI) for reproductive-aged women and their health-related quality of life Lifetime exposure to reproductive hormones may protect women against their future risk of a poor health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) including reproductive, physical and mental health. During their peak reproductive years, many women are exposed to natural oestrogen during pregnancy, and synthetic oestrogen in the form of oral contraception. The aim of this project is to develop an oestrogen exposure index (OEI) for reproductive-aged women (i.e., the 1973-78 cohort), of whom 71% have had at least one pregnancy. Among the reproductive-aged women, associations between their OEI and higher HRQOL will be examined. |

Incident Osteoarthritis in a cohort of baby boomer women: Management and outcomes in the Australian community As the population ages, the availability of a combination cardio-protective “polypill” has the potential to increase chemoprophylaxis coverage for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and substantially reduce costs to both governments and consumers. This study identifies the likely change in CVD medication costs for mid- and older-aged Australian women, if a simple fixed low-dose low-cost polypill were to be given to everyone older than 55 years, regardless of their CVD risk profile. |

| A133D. Incident Osteoarthritis in a cohort of baby boomer women: Management and outcomes in the Australian community Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading contributor to disability in Australia. As OA is the most common chronic disease reported by older women, there is a critical need to understand the factors that enable women with OA to remain active and independent in the community as they age. The NHMRC endorsed RACGP guidelines for non-surgical management of OA in the Australian health care context emphasise the importance of self management to prevent acute OA episodes, and delay functional limitations and disability. However, we do not know how OA is being managed in the commuty. This project will examine the extent to which RACGP guidelines are being applied among baby boomer women with OA by examining onset of OA, immediate and ongoing management, and related health outcomes. |

This project examines factors contributing to contraception use and unplanned pregnancy, particularly barriers to service access. Qualitative comments provided by women from the 1973-78 cohort across surveys 1-5 will be examined. Relevant comments will be identified by reading through the comments as well as searching for specific keywords relating to use of contraception, unplanned pregnancy, and access to contraception services. Once relevant comments have been identified, they will be analysed using thematic content analysis. The aims of the analysis are i) to examine factors women identify as contributing to their contraception use (or non-use), particularly barriers to service access, and ii) to examine how women describe and explain the reasons for their unplanned pregnancies, and iii) how the pregnancies were resolved. |

Dietary zinc intake, incident type-2 diabetes and depression in Australian women The primary aim of this project was to analyse measures of dietary zinc intake and dietary zinc to iron ratio in a random community based sample of women aged 45 to 50 years and determine if low zinc intake is associated with self-report incident type-2 diabetes and incident CESD depression. The project analysis and results for the type-2 diabetes componet of the project are complete. A total of 333 incident cases of diabetes were identified over 6 years of follow-up. After adjustment for dietary and non-dietary factors, the highest quintile of dietary zinc intake had almost half the odds of developing type-2 diabetes (OR=0.55, 95% C.I. 0.36 – 0.86) compared with the lowest quintile. Similar findings were observed for the zinc/iron ratio; the highest quintile had half the odds of developing T2D (OR=0.49, 95% C.I 0.29-0.80) after multivariate adjustment of covariates. A manuscript has been prepared and is currently under review in Diabetiologia. The analysis for the depression component |

| A260. Trends in health related quality of life of women in their 70's and 80's Decline in physical function is a common feature of older age. However, decline is not uniform or linear. Among individuals of similar chronological age, some individuals appear to be resistant to decline in function while others appear more vulnerable. This project explores factors associated with survival and maintenance of physical well-being among a large cohort of 12,432 women in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health.Across five surveys, there has been a marked decline in physical health scores for the cohort, as measured by Short Form (SF-36) health related quality of life sub-scales. However, while average scores declined, a large proportion of the women experienced minimal change in physical health scores over the 12 years. Using latent profile analysis, we identified four main patterns in the scores among those who survived and stayed in the study at Survey 4: consistently higher scores (61% of women); declining scores (11% of women); consistently low scores |

Arthritis impact over time: A longitudinal exploration of burden of illness, comorbities (particularly depression), management, and health care costs in older Australian women Arthritis is the most common cause of activity limitation and disability among older Australian women. In 2002, arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions were established as a National Health Priority Area, in recognition of the major health and economic burden these conditions place on our community. The broad aim of this project is to investigate the effect of Arthritis, and comorbidities associated with arthritis, on health and quality of life for older Australian women. The combination of extensive demographic, psychosocial and health survey data linked with Medicare and hospitalisations data means that the burden and economic costs of Arthritis in Australia can be examined more rigorously than in any previous work. |

Use of medication for psychiatric disorders amongst mid-aged women across time This project aims to predict change in self-reported use of medications over a three year period among mid-aged Australian women for each of four conditions: depression, anxiety, stress, and to help sleep. Medication use was assessed by asking whether they had taken any medications over the past four weeks for: depression, nerves/anxiety/worries, stress (difficulty coping), and to help them sleep. Mental health was measured in two ways: self-reports of having been diagnosed in the last three years with anxiety, depression, or both anxiety and depression; the SF-36 MCS measuring mental health over the past four weeks. |

The etiology remains poorly understood but may include presentation of ectopic uterine tissue to the peritoneum mediated by incessant menstruation and aberrant circulating levels of sex hormones. Although oral contraceptives (OCPs) and exercise are prescribed to reduce the symptoms of endometriosis and related pain and infertility, their value in preventing endometriosis remains unclear. We plan to model the risk of endometriosis among young Australian women in relation to a) prior exercise history and b) OCP exposure accounting for appropriate confounders and effect modifiers. |

Changes in workforce participation among mid-age Australian women: The impact of socio-economic, behavioural, environmental and health-related factors This longitudinal study sought to identify which health problems are associated with employment among midage women over time.Methods: Data were analyzed from the midage cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH), which involved 14,200 midage women (aged 45–50 years in 1996). The women have been surveyed four additional times, in 1998, 2001, 2004, and 2007. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to conduct nested multivariate longitudinal analyses.Results: The percentages of women who were employed in the years 2001, 2004, and 2007 were 77%, 72%, and 68%, respectively. Results were adjusted for sociodemographic variables. Being employed decreased as physical and mental health deteriorated and with self-reported conditions: diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions. Back pain, arthritis, cancer, obesity, and being a current smoker are associated with employment but not when quality of life is added to the mod |

Weight loss practices of mid-aged women: Longitudinal data analysis In this study, we are examining the longer term weight outcomes for the mid-age women according to the way in which they report to have attempted weight control. We will also examine the associations between weight control and self-defined class, socioeconomic factors (ability to manage on income, education, occupation, area of residence). This study is the first in Australia to use a representative population sample to examine the relationships between socio-demographic factors and the weight control practices used by mid-age women over time. |

Transport for older women This study uses data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health to describe the trends in the proportion of older women who drive themselves as their main means of transport, factors associated with giving up driving, and the impact of women’s caring roles on driving cessation. Compared to major cities, the odds of driving were 110% higher in outer regional areas, particularly for women carers. This highlights the importance of informedand responsive transport policies to address the needs of older women who are unable to continue driving, those living in rural areas, and women who are carers. |

Change in health status and healthcare use for women who have and have not had health assessments The aim of this study is to explore changes in health status and health care use for women who have and have not had Health Assessments. Previous analysis of data from the oldest cohort indicate that around 1/3 of the women have had at least one health assessment in the two years following the introduction of these items in November 1999. Among women who were still alive in 2004, there was no statistically significant difference between physical function scores for women who did and did not have health assessment. However, there was a small trend towards a lesser decline in physical function scores for women having more than one assessment. |

The study examined associations between mental health comorbidity (diagnosed with anxiety and depression) and use of counselling services among 11,201 Australian women aged 50–55. Only 6.9% of women had consulted a Counsellor/Psychologist/Social Worker in the past year. Women were more likely to have received counselling as the number of mental health diagnoses increased and SF-36 mental health scores decreased. The study extends previous research on the relationship between mental health and use of counselling services by examining dose response relationship and by controlling for a large number of covariates. |
