Investing in Child Health and Development: The Impact of Breastfeeding on Children's School Performance
(2011)
LAYTE, RICHARD
Investing in Child Health and Development: The Impact of Breastfeeding on Children's School Performance
(2011)
LAYTE, RICHARD
Abstract:
There is now strong evidence that breastfed babies are less prone to stomach upsets, ear infections and the coughs and colds of early childhood than their bottle fed peers. There is also a growing body of evidence that breastfeeding may confer more long term benefits for child development. For example, studies have consistently shown that breastfed children score more highly on cognitive and academic performance tests in later life compared with those who were bottle- fed. At first glance the explanation seems simple: breast milk contains nutrients that improve brain development during infancy leading to longer-term gains in cognitive performance. The story may not be so simple however. Research shows that children who are breastfed are more likely to come from more advantaged households, that is, those with higher levels of education, higher income and social class. This means that these children enjoy other economic and environmental advantages and it may well be that it is these ...

Irish contraception and crisis pregnancy [ICCP] study: A survey of the general population
(2004)
Rundle, Kay; Leigh, Collette; McGee, Hannah; Layte, Richard
Abstract:
Crisis pregnancy is a complex challenge for individuals and societies alike. Its prevention and management needs to be informed by up-to-date and locally applicable information on knowledge, attitudes and behaviours concerning sexual practices and contraception. The first national survey of sexual behaviour was completed in the US in 1948 (the Kinsey Report). This was followed in 1949 by Mass-Observation’s Little Kinsey Report in Britain. In the last two decades over seventeen national surveys of sexual behaviour have been carried out in Europe. The largest of these is the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (NATSAL), which was conducted in Britain in 1990 and repeated in 2000. To date there has not been a national survey of sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviour (KAB) in Ireland.

Loneliness, social isolation, and their discordance among older adults
(2019)
Ward, Mark; Kenny, Rose; Layte, Richard
Abstract:
We have shown here that loneliness and social isolation are not a necessary fact of the ageing process and recent efforts to alleviate these potentially damaging phenomena should be encouraged. This is particularly important in light of the growing body of evidence that loneliness is damaging to quality of life and wellbeing among older adults. Importantly, we have also demonstrated a method by which both emotional loneliness and social isolation can be considered in conjunction with each other so that we can account for discrepancies between the two concepts. These discrepancies are important as they suggest that a one-size-fits-all approach to local or national policy interventions may not work. Instead, there is a need to address both the subjective and objective features of loneliness in order to positively impact the wellbeing of older adults. This research also highlights the need for healthcare professionals to consider loneliness during clinical assessments of their patients...

Abstract:
Background Social inequalities in the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity are well‐established, but less is known about when the social gradient first emerges and how it evolves across childhood and adolescence. Objective This study examines maternal education differentials in children's body mass trajectories in infancy, childhood and adolescence using data from four contemporary European child cohorts. Methods Prospective data on children's body mass index (BMI) were obtained from four cohort studies—Generation XXI (G21—Portugal), Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) infant and child cohorts, and the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS—UK)—involving a total sample of 41,399 children and 120,140 observations. Children's BMI trajectories were modelled by maternal education level using mixed‐effect models. Results Maternal educational inequalities in children's BMI were evident as early as three years of age. Children from lower maternal educational background...

Measured parental weight status and familial socio-economic status correlates with childhood overweight and obesity at age 9
(2012)
Keane, Eimear; Layte, Richard; Harrington, Janas M.; Kearney, Patricia M.; Perry, Ivan J.
Abstract:
Background: Parental obesity is a predominant risk factor for childhood obesity. Family factors including socio-economic status (SES) play a role in determining parent weight. It is essential to unpick how shared family factors impact on child weight. This study aims to investigate the association between measured parent weight status, familial socio-economic factors and the risk of childhood obesity at age 9. Methodology/Principal Findings: Cross sectional analysis of the first wave (2008) of the Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) study. GUI is a nationally representative study of 9-year-old children (N = 8,568). Schools were selected from the national total (response rate 82%) and age eligible children (response rate 57%) were invited to participate. Children and their parents had height and weight measurements taken using standard methods. Data were reweighted to account for the sampling design. Childhood overweight and obesity prevalence were calculated using International Obesity Task...

Abstract:
Objective: Internationally, caesarean section (CS) rates are rising. However, mean rates of CS across providers obscure extremes of CS provision. We aimed to quantify variation between all maternity units in Ireland. Methods: Two national databases, the National Perinatal Reporting System and the Hospital Inpatient Enquiry Scheme, were used to analyse data for all women delivering singleton births weighing ≥500g. We used multilevel models to examine variation between hospitals in Ireland for elective and emergency CS, adjusted for individual level sociodemographic, clinical and organisational variables. Analyses were subsequently stratified for nullipara and multipara with and without prior CS. Results: The national CS rate was 25.6% (range 18.2% ─ 35.1%). This was highest in multipara with prior CS at 86.1% (range 6.9% ─ 100%). The proportion of variation in CS that was attributable to the hospital of birth was 11.1% (95% CI, 6.0 ─ 19.4) for elective CS and 2.9% (95% CI, 1.4 ─ 5.6)...

Abstract:
<p>Research carried out on behalf of the Healthy Ageing Research Programme (HARP). Published by The Institute of Public Health in Ireland.</p>
<p>This project involves a cross-sectional study of community- dwelling older people aged 65 + years in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Significant differences exist in policy, structures, coverage and funding between the two healthcare systems. These differences – a ‘one island – two systems’ situation – provide a unique opportunity to learn by comparing the health, social status and service experiences of two groups of older people on one island with two differing health and social services. Little comparative research has been conducted on the island to date. The aim of this report is to compare health and social status and related service provision in the Republic and Northern Ireland from the perspective of community-dwelling older people needing and/or using these services. Part of this comparison inc...

Persistent and consistent poverty in the 1994 and 1995 waves of the European Community Household Panel Study

Abstract:
In this paper we attempt to contribute to the growing literature on the mismatch observed when comparing income and deprivation measures of poverty through an analysis of the first two waves of the European Community Household Panel Study. We do so by developing for each country measures of point in time income poverty, persistent income poverty and consistent poverty involving both low income and a corresponding level of deprivation. Our analysis shows that the mismatch between income and deprivation measures is greatest at the least generously defined poverty lines. A similar relationship was found for persistence. But, while consistency was related to the overall level of poverty in a country, this was not true for persistence. To develop further our understanding of different poverty measures the relationship of these variables to economic strain is considered. While deprivation has a substantially stronger impact than income a significant interaction between the two factors is ...

Poverty dynamics : an analysis of the 1994 and 1995 waves of the European Community Household Panel Survey

Abstract:
Recent poverty research internationally based on analysis of panel data has highlighted the importance of income dynamics. In this paper, we study mobility into and out of relative income poverty from one year to the next using data for twelve countries from the European Community Household Panel Survey (ECHP). The ECHP has unique potential as a harmonised data set to serve as the basis for comparisons of income and poverty dynamics across EU countries, and here we begin exploiting this potential by analysing income poverty transitions from Wave 1 to Wave 2. As well as describing the extent of these transitions, we analyse the pattern by fitting log-linear and linear by linear models commonly employed in the analysis of social mobility. Moving from general to specific models we show the relative impact of hierarchy, immobility and affinity effects. Our analysis shows that cross-national variation in short-term poverty dynamics is predominantly a consequence of "shift" rath...

Reassessing income and deprivation approaches to the measurement of poverty in the Republic of Ireland
(2001)
Layte, Richard; Nolan, Brian; Whelan, Christopher T.
Abstract:
This paper reassesses the validity of a poverty measure combining relative income and non-monetary deprivation indicators, first developed and applied to Irish data for 1987, in the light of experience since then and current debates. A crucial issue is whether the measure has failed to capture fundamental changes in livings patterns and expectations. A range of analyses confirm that it continues to identify a set of households experiencing distinctive levels of generalised deprivation, economic strain, psychological distress and exposure to persistent income poverty.

Recent trends in vaginal birth after caesarean section

Brick, Aoife; Layte, Richard; Farren, Maria; Sheehan, S.; Mahony, R.; Turner, Michael
Abstract:
In developed countries, caesarean section (CS) rates continue to escalate and in Ireland nearly one in three women are now delivered by CS. The purpose of this study was to compare the management of women after one previous CS in two large Dublin maternity hospitals with the management in two other well-resourced countries. Data were analysed for Dublin, Massachusetts in the United States, and Hesse in Germany. It was found that since 1990, the CS rate in Dublin has increased by much more than in the other areas. This increase may be explained by the precipitous fall in the vaginal birth after CS rate because the rates in Massachusetts and Hesse in 1990 were initially much lower. Changes in the clinical management of women with one previous CS are a major contributor to the rising CS rates and are likely to be an ongoing driver of CS rates unless clinical practices evolve.

Abstract:
Background: Physical activity (PA) levels are a key performance indicator for policy documents in Ireland. The first Ireland Report Card on Physical Activity in Children and Youth aims to set a robust baseline for future surveillance of indicators related to PA in children and youth. Methods: Data collected between 2003-2010 on more than 35,000 7- to 18-year-old children and youth were used and graded using a standardized grading system for 10 indicators. Results: Grades assigned for the indicators were as follows: overall physical activity levels, D-; sedentary behavior (TV viewing), C-; organized sport participation, C-: physical education, D-; active play, inconclusive (INC); active transportation, D; school, C-, community and the built environment, B; family, INC; and government, INC. Conclusions: PA recommendations exist in Ireland but this Report Card has shown that participation is still low. A number of promising policies, programs and services are in place but these require...

Abstract:
Conducted by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in collaboration with the Economic and Social Research Institute on behalf of the Crisis Pregnancy Agency
Sex and sexual behaviour are an extremely important aspect of human behaviour, with implications for both individuals and societies. Sexual relationships can give immense pleasure and fulfilment to individuals, create families and ultimately underpin the viability of societies, but they can also have less positive consequences. For example, rates of sexually transmitted infections have been increasing strongly in Ireland since the mid-1990s, and rates of crisis pregnancy also seem to be increasing (NDSC 2004). More worryingly, much of the increase in STIs has been among younger people and particularly those under 25. It also appears that pregnancy rates among women under 20 have been increasing over the last 15 years, although statistics here are problematic and need to be contextualised. For example, the birth rate among...

Scoping study of national survey of sexual attitudes and behaviours.
(2003)
Layte, Richard; Fullerton, Deirdre; McGee, Hannah
Abstract:
Although there were surveys of sexual behaviour before the 1980s such as the Kinsey Report of 1948 (and the subsequent Little Kinsey report in Britain by Mass Observation in 1949), it was only in the late 1980s after the full implications of the AIDS epidemic had become clear that surveys of sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviour (KAB) became more common (Stanley 1995). In trying to understand the spread of HIV and form some strategic response, it became obvious in most countries that more information was needed about the sexual practices of the population such as the prevalence of risky behaviours and number of sexual partners. As a result, the last two decades have seen over 40 national surveys of sexual behaviour carried in western countries, the largest of which is the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (NATSAL) survey in Britain. The NATSAL survey was first completed in 1990 (NATSALl) and repeated a decade later in 2000 (NATSAL2). The information from nationa...

Should We Be Worried About Income Inequality in Ireland?

Should We Be Worried About Income Inequality in Ireland?
(2011)
LAYTE, RICHARD
Abstract:
Despite the recession Ireland remains a country with relatively high income inequality. Ireland sits just behind the UK near the top of the inequality rankings in Europe behind the Baltic and Southern European states. Is this a problem? Should we be concerned about levels of income inequality in Irish society? Debates about this issue often centre on the moral acceptability of income inequality with protagonists adopting well worn ideological positions but is there actually any evidence that higher levels of income inequality are a problem? Some may have moral misgivings about excessively high incomes at the top and those at the bottom being left behind as middle incomes increase, but does inequality in itself, as opposed to being poor, actually have any consequences? Recent ESRI research suggests that the answer is yes.
