Gendered work-family life courses and late-life physical functioning: A comparative analysis from 28 European countries
2022, Advances in Life Course ResearchTemporal change to self-rated health in the Swiss population from 1997 to 2012: the roles of age, gender, and education
2017, Public HealthCitation Excerpt :However, other longitudinal studies suggest that education is rarely associated with temporal changes to SRH,13 and such conjecture continues to provide motivation for further exploration toward better understanding any variables that may influence their interaction. Health-related gender inequality has been widely documented, revealing an interesting paradox in socioeconomically developed countries14–17; men have shorter age-specific life expectancy than women,15,18,19 yet women have shorter morbidity-free life expectancy, and poorer SRH.19,20 The literature explores gender differences in terms of biology, behaviour and psychological traits throughout the life course, alongside considerations of social organisation, and socioeconomic wealth.1,3,9,13,16,18,21
Self-reported health and gender: The role of social norms
2016, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :There is evidence in the literature that women tend to report higher morbidity rates than men, which is in contrast with their longevity advantage. The existence of such a gender-morbidity gap has been highly debated since the 1980s – see Hunt and Annandale (1999). Marshall and Funch (1986) study sex differences in the lag between first recognition of symptoms and definitive diagnosis and treatment for colorectal cancer.
Cross-national differences in the gender gap in subjective health in Europe: Does country-level gender equality matter?
2013, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Societies differ in the degree to which opportunities and valued resources are granted for women and men. Consequently, this variation may lead to national differences in gender gaps in health (e.g., Hunt & Annandale, 1999; Moss, 2002; Read & Gorman, 2010). Living in a gender (un)equal society can affect women's and men's health, and the gender gap therein, independently of individual positions and characteristics.
'I'm a bad mum': Pregnant presenteeism and poor health at work
2011, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :In particular, Campbell and Porter (1997) questioned Annandale and Clark’s (1996) paper, contending that a focus on the differences between the health needs of women and men, especially in relation to the maternal body and reproduction, is required to facilitate women’s autonomy regarding their own health. Hunt and Annandale (1999) responded to this criticism by acknowledging the importance of feminist politics, but also arguing the need to pay more attention to women’s and men’s participation in social and cultural systems, perhaps using a post-structuralist approach. Like Annandale (2008: 105), this paper seeks to ‘break the stronghold’ of binary opposition.
