This article is concerned with the underlying rationales for including biomeasures in longitudinal social surveys. In particular, it seeks to draw out the potential advantages of incorporating biomeasures in household panel studies for advancing our understanding of behaviors. A key emphasis is on elaborating pathways from biology through the brain/mind to behaviors and outcomes, particularly for social, demographic, economic, and health domains. The article elaborates these themes and illustrates them within the context of international experience. It lays out some of the key issues concerning conceptualization and operationalization of the integration of biomeasures into surveys. The next section considers the particular issues concerned with these opportunities and innovations for household panel studies. This is followed by a brief summary of the extent to which biomeasures have been incorporated into longitudinal social surveys, especially outside the United States. The final main section considers a wide range of strategic issues in the the collection of biomeasures in household panel studies and is followed by a brief conclusion.

Association of falls with risk of dementia and all-cause mortality: a cohort study of Japanese older adults with a 9-year follow-up.
Eur Geriatr Med
January 2025
School of Public Health, Guangdong Pharmaceutical University, Guangzhou, China.
Objective: Many risk factors affect dementia and all-cause mortality. However, whether falls are a risk factor for dementia and all-cause mortality is unclear. The study examines the association of falls with the risk of dementia and all-cause mortality, and whether dementia mediates the association of falls with all-cause mortality.

Division of Pediatric Oncology/Hematology, University Children's Hospital Basel, University of Basel, Basel, SWITZERLAND.
Introduction: Impaired physical fitness is a possible late effect among adult survivors of childhood cancer (ASCC). Our study describes lower body muscular strength and endurance among ASCC using the 1-minute sit-to-stand (1-min STS) test, compares them with the general population, identifies risk factors, and describes changes over time.Methods: In a prospective multicenter cohort study, we invited ASCC ≥18 years of age at study, diagnosed between ages 0-20 treated in five pediatric oncology centers across Switzerland from 1976-2017 who survived ≥5 years for a 1-min STS test.

Introduction: Information regarding the prevalence of potentially traumatic events (PTEs), DSM-5 posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and ICD-11 complex PTSD (CPTSD) in the Netherlands is currently lacking, as is data on treatment uptake and treatment barriers. We aimed to provide prevalence estimates for potentially traumatic events, PTSD and CPTSD in the Netherlands, describe treatment seeking behavior and explore associated risk factors.
Method: We included a sample of 1690 participants aged 16 years and older across the Netherlands via the Longitudinal Internet studies for the Social Sciences panel, a true probability sample of households drawn from the population register by Statistics Netherlands.
Person-Specific Analyses of Smartphone Use and Mental Health: An Intensive Longitudinal Study Over One Year.
JMIR Form Res
December 2024
Department of Communication, Stanford University, Stanford, US.
Background: Contrary to popular concerns about the harmful effects of media use on mental health, research on this relationship is ambiguous, stalling advances in theory, interventions, and policy. Scientific explorations of the relationship between media and mental health have mostly found null or small associations, with the results often blamed on the use of cross-sectional study designs or imprecise measures of media use and mental health.
Objective: This exploratory empirical demonstration aimed to answer whether mental health effects are associated with media use experiences by (1) redirecting research investments to granular and intensive longitudinal recordings of digital experiences to build models of media use and mental health for single individuals over the course of one entire year, (2) using new metrics of fragmented media use to propose explanations of mental health effects that will advance person-specific theorizing in media psychology, and (3) identifying combinations of media behaviors and mental health symptoms that may be more useful for studying media effects than single measures of dosage and affect or assessments of clinical symptoms related to specific disorders.
