so which measure of health to use? there are no perfect measures of health and it is just important that researchers and policy makers are aware of how their choice of indicator impacts their results.

5. all in all, these discrepancies cast doubt on the reliability of mobility and cognitive self-reports, especially when comparing health across nations with differing development levels.

3. Consistency between reported and tested health is strongly correlated with the Human Development Index, with less developed countries showing higher discrepancies; 4. We do not observe persistent gender differences in consistency between reported and tested health

We find that : 1. age patterns in self-reports do not accurately reflect the deterioration of health associated with aging; 2. tested health exhibits a pronounced age gradient, whereas self- reported health varies little over the life course, particularly for self-reported memory

We use harmonized data from the Gateway to Global Aging, matching self-reported mobility and cognition with their tested equivalent to assess discrepancies at the individual level.

🤓Glad to see this paper out with Sonja Spitzer and Patrick Lazarevic. We analyse discrepancies between self-reported and tested health limitations across 25 countries from six world regions. comparativepopulationstudies.de/index.php/CP...

No próximo dia 26/07, Carlos Beluzo vai defender sua tese. Importante dizer que é o segundo trabalho que usa modelos de Inteligência Artificial/Machine Learning no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Demografia da Unicamp. Dessa vez uma tese. (1/3)

As I wrote recently, the appeal of sexist messages--and sexist messengers like Andrew Tate--stems, at least in part, from the precarity of our DIY Society, where people are expected to manage risk and responsibility without a safety net. 2/ www.sheknows.com/parenting/ar...

How Sexist Men See Themselves As the 'Good Guys' — & Why So Many Boys Are Listening

Believing the myths that the Harrison Butkers and the Andrew Tates are selling allows boys and men to feel like heroes, even as they're hurting the women on whose backs they stand.
