Congratulations Bill on this latest publication! Really interesting analysis of how discrepancies between objective and subjective health (and health optimism vs. pessimism) change over time. @MU_Hamilton @MUpsychdept
~ New Publication ~
We have just published our study in Social Science and Medicine. We explored whether English older adults transition to and from states of health optimism, health pessimism and health realism over time, using a Markov transition model.
* Health pessimists are likely to be lost to death/dropout. Therefore, health pessimism may represent prodromal poor health.
* The discrepancy between an older adult’s objective and subjective health status is clinically relevant and is predictive of various health sequelae.

we conclude that interpreting subjective health appraisals alongside objective health scores in clinical settings is informative.
we found that health optimists had an increased risk of experiencing an injurious fall.

Really enjoyed last night’s poster session at the annual @societyforepi meeting in Austin, TX. Blocking my poster in this pic because I lack spatial awareness.
talking nonsense as per, at the nordic congress of gerontology, in karolinska institutet #27NKG

Very proud to have represented my University at the national finals today. Didn’t take home the douze points, but I am still over the moon @MaynoothUni @data_science_ie @RebeccaMaguire @MU_PostGrad @IUAofficial
“Still Feeling Healthy after all these years? The Identification of Health Optimistic and Pessimistic Older Adults.” is the thought-provoking presentation which PhD Researcher Bill Calvey @MaynoothUni is presenting at our Three Minute Thesis event!

Spoke on @drivetimerte last night about participating in the competition, and featured on @IrishTimes too. My 6th class teacher always told me I had a face for radio.
