The feasibility of using pedometers and brief advice to increase activity in sedentary older women--a pilot studyJacqui A Sugden
Section of Ageing and Health, Division of Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Dundee, Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, Dundee, UK
BMC Health Serv Res 8:169. 2008..The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of the use of pedometers plus a theory-based intervention to assist sedentary older women to accumulate increasing amounts of physical activity, mainly through walking...
A cross-national comparison of the impact of family migration on women's employment statusP Boyle
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, St Andrews KY16 9AL, United Kingdom
Demography 38:201-13. 2001..We also demonstrate that studies that fail to identify linked migrant couples are likely to underestimate the negative effects of family migration on women's employment status...
Does occupational success influence longevity among England test cricketers?P J Boyle
The School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, St Andrews KY16 9AL, UK
Br J Sports Med 43:851-5. 2009..To determine whether the longevity of England test cricketers is influenced by occupational success, controlling for the influence of social background...- Moving and union dissolutionPaul J Boyle
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, KY16 9AL, United Kingdom
Demography 45:209-22. 2008..Our results show that couples who move frequently have a significantly higher risk of union dissolution, and we suggest a variety of mechanisms that may explain this... - Does widowhood increase mortality risk?: testing for selection effects by comparing causes of spousal deathPaul J Boyle
Longitudinal Studies Centre Scotland, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Scotland, United Kingdom
Epidemiology 22:1-5. 2011..We therefore consider the widowhood effect by various causes of spousal death; some causes of death are correlated with shared characteristics in couples, while others are not... - Social mobility: evidence that it can widen health inequalitiesPaul J Boyle
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Scotland KY16 9ST, UK
Soc Sci Med 68:1835-42. 2009..These results show that a reduction in inequalities is not a necessary consequence if the health of 'mobile' people falls between that of those they left and those they joined and this is particularly the case for deprivation mobility... - Suicide gap among young adults in Scotland: population studyPaul Boyle
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, St Andrews KY16 9ST
BMJ 330:175-6. 2005 - Changing places. Do changes in the relative deprivation of areas influence limiting long-term illness and mortality among non-migrant people living in non-deprived households?Paul Boyle
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, UK
Soc Sci Med 58:2459-71. 2004..These findings suggest that neighbourhood-based public health and regeneration programmes may have demonstrable effects on the health of the residents who live there... - Does migration exaggerate the relationship between deprivation and limiting long-term illness? A Scottish analysisPaul Boyle
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, Fife, UK
Soc Sci Med 55:21-31. 2002..We then examine the issue controlling for individual-level characteristics expected to influence limiting long-term illness and pay special attention to the role of public housing in these relationships... - Do area-level population change, deprivation and variations in deprivation affect individual-level self-reported limiting long-term illness?P J Boyle
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, Fife, UK
Soc Sci Med 53:795-9. 2001..This analysis examines whether area-level deprivation and variations in deprivation are significant indicators of individual-level limiting long-term illness, once individual characteristics have been accounted for... - Shrinking areas and mortality: an artefact of deprivation effects?Daniel J Exeter
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, St Andrews KY16 9AL, UK
J Epidemiol Community Health 59:924-6. 2005..However, this relation disappears when the area deprivation is accounted for. It is suggested that it is more important to account for deprivation than population change in health resource allocation... - The Scottish excess in mortality compared to the English and Welsh. Is it a country of residence or country of birth excess?Frank Popham
Longitudinal Studies Centre Scotland, School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, Scotland KY169AL, UK
Health Place 16:759-62. 2010..Our analysis, around the 2001 Census, suggests that country of birth is more important than country of residence, indicating that early life factors may be important for the Scottish excess... - Is there a 'Scottish effect' for mortality? Prospective observational study of census linkage studiesFrank Popham
Longitudinal Studies Centre Scotland, School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, St Andrews KY16 9AL, UK

St Andrews University, St Andrews, Fife, UK
Soc Sci Med 65:32-42. 2007..We conclude that care should be taken when evaluating the relationship between diabetes and deprivation in cross-sectional studies... - Locality deprivation and Type 2 diabetes incidence: a local test of relative inequalitiesMatthew Cox
School of Geography and Geosciences, St Andrews University, Irvine Building, North Street, St Andrews, Fife KY16 9AL, UK
Soc Sci Med 65:1953-64. 2007..Our model results are consistent with a pull-up/pull-down model and lend no support to a 'psycho-social' interpretation at this local scale of analysis... - Selective internal migration. Does it explain Glasgow's worsening mortality record?Frank Popham
School of Geography and Geosciences and Longitudinal Studies Centre Scotland, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Scotland, KY16 9AL, UK
Health Place 17:1212-7. 2011..Our results suggest that the increasing difference in mortality rates between Glasgow and the rest of Scotland over this period was probably not caused by selective migration... - Predicting smoking behaviour in census output areas across ScotlandJamie Pearce
School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife KY16 9AL, Scotland, UK
Health Place 9:139-49. 2003..The parameters from this model are then used to make smoking predictions by age and sex for output areas across Scotland. This is the first time that such geographically detailed estimates of smoking have been made available... - Does geographic access to primary healthcare influence the detection of hepatitis C?Thomas Astell-Burt
