    Understanding the Cross-Sectional Association Between Life Expectancy and Healthy Life Years: The CroHaM Hypothesis

    No full text
    A central question of interdisciplinary health research is whether the life years gained through increasing life expectancy are primarily spent in good or poor health. Two opposing models have been proposed: “expansion of morbidity” and “compression of morbidity”. Existing research based on longitudinal data and time series has supported both approaches, depending on the particular dimension of health under consideration. In this paper we hypothesize that the longitudinal health dimension-specific expansion and compression effects exist equivalently in the cross-sectional association between health and mortality (CroHaM), affecting differences in the number of healthy life years between populations and subpopulations with different levels of life expectancy. The CroHaM hypothesis roots in the observation that most health differentials within and between populations are caused primarily by social factors and it builds on Link and Phelan’s “theory of fundamental social causes” (1995). We present empirical support for the hypothesis by analyzing the relationship between life expectancy and healthy life years on the basis of different health dimensions for a sample of female and male Catholic order members and their counterparts in the general populations of Germany and Austria. Finally, we outline that the CroHaM hypothesis may also contribute to a better understanding of differences in life years spent in good or poor health and make suggestions for further testing of the CroHaM hypothesis

    The paper aims to show how an object-centred approach to the history of nursing can help toprovide a new perspective on the historical development of the professionalisation of nursingand its demarcation from both the medical profession and non-professional care. Nursing practicesand the material objects closely related to them are analysed in their historical context.We analyse in particular such objects that were used not only by professional nurses but alsoin home care by family members or caregivers and doctors.Indeed, the investigation of the objects and the practices linked to them enables us to showthat professional nursing distinguished itself from non-professional care not necessarily throughspecific nursing objects but through the use of them. Furthermore, professional nurses alwaystook on tasks that belonged to the physicians’ domain without receiving clear instructions asto their authority. While nurses were trained more thoroughly than doctors in handling theseobjects, the practices were both legally and in practice defined as doctors’ tasks
