Salud en la niñez y fuerza muscular de adultos mayores europeos

Abstract

Se analiza la asociación entre salud autopercibida durante la niñez con la fuerza muscular en personas mayores de 65 años de edad, controlando el efecto de distintos indicadores socioeconómicos que actúan durante el ciclo vital y el de comportamientos saludables en la etapa adulta. Se trata de un estudio longitudinal retrospectivo realizado con 2 848 individuos de 10 países Europeos, participantes de la primera (2004/05), tercera (sharelife; 2008/09) y cuarta (2011/12) oleada de la encuesta Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (share). Mediante análisis de regresión lineal se obtuvieron distintos modelos de complejidad creciente. Una mala salud durante la niñez se asocia con menores valores de fuerza muscular en la edad adulta, incluso tras controlar el efecto de todas las variables predictoras, mientras que la trayectoria en la fuerza (pérdida de fuerza muscular en el periodo estudiado) no se asocia con la salud en la niñez. Estos resultados se adhieren a la evidencia existente sobre la importancia de una buena salud en etapas tempranas del ciclo vital como condicionante de la salud adulta, y apoyan la idea de que medidas destinadas a promover la salud temprana podrían tener beneficios adicionales en la independencia y autonomía de las personas en proceso de envejecimiento.

The present study evaluates the association between self-reports of childhood health with adult grip strength, estimating how both different socioeconomic indicators along the life course and adult health behaviors may affect such association. It has a longitudinal and retrospective design based on 2 848 65 years old and older individuals from 10 European countries, who had participate in the first (2004/05) and fourth (2011/12) waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (share), together with retrospective data on childhood conditions, provided in the third wave (sharelife; 2008/09). By means of linear regression, we estimate several models of increased complexity. We found that poor childhood health is associated with lower grip strength later in life, even after adjusting for all predictors, while trajectories in grip strength were not associated to childhood health. Our results are in line of the existing evidence about the importance of good childhood health early in life as an important predictor of adult health, suggesting that efforts in improving health in childhood may have additional benefits in promoting independence later in life.
