Objectives: Adverse work-related exposures have been linked with decreased physical and mental functioning in later life, however, whether childhood factors explain the
associations between work exposures and functioning is unknown. Our aim was to investigate if job demand and control in mid-life were related to self-reported physical and mental functioning in early old age and whether childhood factors explained these associations.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: England, Scotland and Wales.
Participants and outcome measures: Data come from the UK Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development, a cohort with follow-up since birth in 1946. 1485 occupationally active study members had data available on job demand and control in mid-life and on physical and mental functioning assessed using the Short Form-36 questionnaire at 60–64 years.
Results: Those with higher job control in mid-life had better physical functioning than those who reported lower job control (β 0.51, 95% CI 0.02 to 1.01, p=0.04 adjusted for adult confounders). Those with higher job demand in mid-life had poorer mental functioning (β −0.82, 95% CI −1.14 to −0.51, p<0.001). Associations between job control and mental functioning were similar but less pronounced. Adjustment for childhood factors (father’s
and mother’s educational attainment, parents’ interest in school at age 7 and cognitive ability at age 8) partially explained the association between job control and physical functioning, but did not explain the association between job demand and mental functioning.
Conclusions: Job demand and control in mid-life are differentially associated with mental and physical functioning in early old age and some of these associations may be partially explained by childhood factors.

Mid-career work patterns and physical and mental functioning at age 60–64 : evidence from the 1946 British birth cohort
Bonsdorff, Mikaela von; Kuh, Diana; Bonsdorff, Monika von; Cooper, Rachel (Oxford University Press; European Public Health Association, 2016)Background: Previous studies of the associations between unemployment and health have primarily focused on mental health and long-term associations have not often been explored. This study investigated if discontinuous ... -
