Howe, Laura D.; Firestone, Riz; Tilling, Kate; Lawlor, Debbie A.

Pages: 19 –37

Heilmann, Anja; Tsakos, Georgios; Watt, Richard G.

Pages: 39 –59

Johnson, William; Kuh, Diana; Hardy, Rebecca

Pages: 61 –83

[The growth of a child and the amount of weight gained across the life course is associated with risk for many chronic degenerative diseases. The life course approach to this area of epidemiological research has burgeoned over the last 25 years, since the initial observation of an inverse...

Taylor-Robinson, David; Diggle, Peter; Smyth, Rosalind; Whitehead, Margaret

Chapter 8Linear Mixed-Effects and Latent Curve Models for Longitudinal Life Course Analyses

Ghisletta, Paolo; Renaud, Olivier; Jacot, Nadège; Courvoisier, Delphine

Pages: 155 –178

[Life course researchers often collect longitudinal data by assessing repeatedly, over long time spans, the same individuals. Such data are inherently dependent, and thus cannot be analyzed with standard classical models, like ordinary least squares regression, because statistical inference about...

Chapter 9The Analysis of Individual Health Trajectories Across the Life Course: Latent Class Growth Models Versus Mixed Models

Hoekstra, Trynke; Twisk, Jos W. R.

Pages: 179 –195

[When analysing individual trajectories across the life course, the fact that repeated observations of individuals are not independent (i.e. correlated) should be taken into account. Several techniques to do this are available, such as mixed models, MM and latent growth models, LGM. These models...

Chapter 10Age, Period and Cohort Processes in Longitudinal and Life Course Analysis: A Multilevel Perspective

Bell, Andrew; Jones, Kelvyn

Pages: 197 –213

[This chapter considers age, period and cohort (APC) as different sources of health-related change. Age (or, life course) effects are individual, often biological, sources of change, whilst periods and cohorts can be thought of as social contexts affecting individuals that reside within them. Due...
