The Concept of Health, From Definition to Measurement and the Implications of the Reserves-Based Model for Nursing in France.

Aim: To discuss a reserves-based model of Health, recently developed in the literature, defining Health and moving from conceptual considerations to methods of measuring Health, applicable to nursing practice and research.

Design: Discursive paper.

Methods: A discursive paper critically synthesising a reserves-based model of Health for conceptualising and operationalising Health, with reference to key Health theories from nursing science and social epidemiology.

Increasing access to fertility preservation for women with breast cancer: protocol for a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial in France.

Background: With the increase in the number of long-term survivors, interest is shifting from cancer survival to life and quality of life after cancer. These include consequences of long-term side effects of treatment, such as gonadotoxicity. Fertility preservation is becoming increasingly important in cancer management.

The effect of smoking initiation in adolescence on the subsequent smoking trajectories of people who smoke, and the role of adverse childhood experiences: Results from the 1958 British cohort study.

Objective: To examine the association between smoking initiation in adolescence and subsequent different smoking trajectories of people who smoke, and to examine the combined effect of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and smoking initiation in adolescence on smoking trajectories of people who smoke.

Design And Sample: Data are from 8757 individuals in Great Britain from the birth cohort National Child Development Study and who reported being smokers or former smokers by age 23.

Measurements: Smoking initiation in adolescence was measured at 16 y and smoking trajectories were derived from smoking variables from ages 23 to 55.

The level of education is associated with an anxiety-depressive state among men and women - findings from France during the first quarter of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Context: It is widely recognised that the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted individuals' mental health. However, little emphasis has been put on the possible influence of socio-economic factors in the relationship. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, our objectives were (i) to assess the relationship between education level and mental health in French adults, and (ii) to study the influence of the economic, social, health and the COVID-19-related factors in men and women respectively.

Toward a conceptual framework of health and its operational definition: an application in the 1958 British birth cohort.

Background: Defining and measuring Health presents a challenge, partly due to its conceptual pluralism. To measure Health as an ability to adapt and self-manage, we developed an approach within the theoretical framework of resources and reserves over the life course, recently proposed in the literature. We aimed to (i) use the conceptual framework developed to identify indicators of deteriorating health reserves, (ii) construct an overall health measure from these indicators, (iii) evaluate the association between the overall health measure and subsequent health outcomes and (iv) assess the robustness of our method.

Associations of adverse childhood experiences with smoking initiation in adolescence and persistence in adulthood, and the role of the childhood environment: Findings from the 1958 British birth cohort.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been identified as a strong determinant of smoking. We aimed to examine the association between ACEs and early smoking initiation and subsequent persistence and the contribution of five pathways including family factors, parental involvement, material living conditions, social activities and conscientiousness. Data are from 7414 individuals born in 1958 in Great Britain included in the National Child Development Study.

Could teacher-perceived parental interest be an important factor in understanding how education relates to later physiological health? A life course approach.

Education is associated with later health, and notably with an indicator of physiological health measuring the cost of adapting to stressful conditions, named allostatic load. Education is itself the result of a number of upstream variables. We examined the origins of educational attainment through the lens of interactions between families and school i.
