Description
Philip St John, Scott Nowicki, and Robert Tate measure new disability in a long-running cohort of Canadian airmen in this 2024 paper. The Manitoba Follow-up Study began in 1948 with nearly four thousand men. In 2004, seven hundred ninety-six survivors without disability, averaging eighty-four years old, entered this analysis.
From 2004 to 2017, new moderate-to-severe disability struck four to twelve percent of the men per year, rising as the cohort aged. Poor self-rated health, low physical scores, and more chronic conditions each predicted disability after adjustment. Low life satisfaction also predicted it before adjustment. The authors argue that global well-being measures and disease counts flag men at risk. Such flags could guide support before disability sets in.
