Non-Response To A Life Course Socioeconomic Position Indicator In Surveillance: Comparison Of Telephone And Face-To-Face Modes, Catherine Chittleborough, Anne Taylor, Fran Baum, Janet Hiller
Non-Response To A Life Course Socioeconomic Position Indicator In Surveillance: Comparison Of Telephone And Face-To-Face Modes, Catherine Chittleborough, Anne Taylor, Fran Baum, Janet Hiller
Anne Taylor
Measurement of socioeconomic position (SEP) over the life course in population health surveillance systems is important for examining differences in health and illness between different population groups and for monitoring the impact of policies and interventions aimed at reducing health inequities and intergenerational disadvantage over time. While face-to-face surveys are considered the gold standard of interviewing techniques, computer-assisted telephone interviewing is often preferred for cost and convenience. This study compared recall of parents' highest level of education in telephone and face-to-face surveys.
Predictors Of Podiatry Utilisation In Australia : The North West Adelaide Health Study, Hylton B. Menz, Tiffany K. Gill, Anne Taylor, Catherine L. Hill
Predictors Of Podiatry Utilisation In Australia : The North West Adelaide Health Study, Hylton B. Menz, Tiffany K. Gill, Anne Taylor, Catherine L. Hill
Anne Taylor
Foot problems are highly prevalent in the community; however no large population-based studies have examined the characteristics of those who do and do not access podiatry services in Australia. The aim of this study was to explore patterns of podiatry utilisation in a population-based sample of people aged 18 years and over living in the northwest region of Adelaide, South Australia.
Prevalence And Correlates Of Foot Pain In A Population-Based Study : The North West Adelaide Health Study, Catherine L. Hill, Tiffany K. Gill, Hylton B. Menz, Anne Taylor
Prevalence And Correlates Of Foot Pain In A Population-Based Study : The North West Adelaide Health Study, Catherine L. Hill, Tiffany K. Gill, Hylton B. Menz, Anne Taylor
Anne Taylor
Few population-based studies have examined the prevalence of foot pain in the general community. The aims of this study were therefore to determine the prevalence, correlates and impact of foot pain in a population-based sample of people aged 18 years and over living in the northwest region of Adelaide, South Australia.
Chronic Disease Prevalence And Associations In A Cohort Of Australian Men: The Florey Adelaide Male Ageing Study (Famas), Sean A. Martin, Matthew T. Haren, Anne Taylor, Sue M. Middleton, Gary A. Wittert
Chronic Disease Prevalence And Associations In A Cohort Of Australian Men: The Florey Adelaide Male Ageing Study (Famas), Sean A. Martin, Matthew T. Haren, Anne Taylor, Sue M. Middleton, Gary A. Wittert
Anne Taylor
An increasing proportion of Australia's chronic disease burden is carried by the ageing male. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of asthma, cancer, diabetes, angina and musculoskeletal conditions and their relationship to behavioural and socio-demographic factors in a cohort of Australian men.
Asthma Is Associated With Cardiovascular Disease In A Representative Population Sample, Sarah Appleton, Richard E. Ruffin, David H. Wilson, Anne Taylor, Robert J. Adams
Asthma Is Associated With Cardiovascular Disease In A Representative Population Sample, Sarah Appleton, Richard E. Ruffin, David H. Wilson, Anne Taylor, Robert J. Adams
Anne Taylor
The North West Adelaide Health Study indicated that in a representative population, asthma was associated with CVD/stroke after adjustment for traditional risk factors and lung function.
Sex Differences In Asthma Morbidity Associated With Obesity In A Representative Population Sample, Sarah L. Appleton, David H. Wilson, Graeme Tucker, Richard E. Ruffin, Anne Taylor, Robert J. Adams
Sex Differences In Asthma Morbidity Associated With Obesity In A Representative Population Sample, Sarah L. Appleton, David H. Wilson, Graeme Tucker, Richard E. Ruffin, Anne Taylor, Robert J. Adams
Anne Taylor
Discussion of the outcomes of the North West Adelaide Health Study. The aim was to determine the modifying effect of obesity and the relative effects of fat distribution on asthma morbidity in a representative biomedical population study of adults (age 18 years) from Adelaide, South Australia.

Chittleborough, Anne Taylor, Eleonora Dal Grande, David H. Wilson, Patrick J. Phillips, Robert J. Adams, Julianne Cheek, Kay Price, Tiffany Gill, Richard E. Ruffin
Anne Taylor
The North West Adelaide Health Study is a population-based biomedical cohort study investigating the prevalence of a number of chronic conditions and health-related risk factors along a continuum. This methodology may assist with evidence-based decisions for health policy makers and planners, and inform health professionals who are involved in chronic disease prevention and management, by providing a better description of people at risk of developing or already diagnosed with selected chronic conditions for more accurate targeting groups for health gain and improved health outcomes.

Do People With Risky Behaviours Participate In Biomedical Cohort Studies?, Anne Taylor, Eleonora Dal Grande, Tiffany Gill, Catherine R. Chittleborough, David H. Wilson, Robert J. Adamns, Janet F. Grant, Patrick Phillips, Richard E. Ruffin
Anne Taylor
Analysis was undertaken on data from randomly selected participants of a biomedical cohort study to assess representativeness. The research hypotheses was that there was no difference in participation and non-participations in terms of health-related indicators (smoking, alcohol use, body mass index, physical activity, blood pressure and cholesterol readings and overall health status) and selected socio-demographics (age, sex, area of residence, education level, marital status and work status).
