The connection between working hours and body mass index in the U.S.: a time use analysis - Review of Economics of the Household

Over recent decades, Americans have transitioned from working in active jobs to working in sedentary jobs, and there have been dramatic increases in hours worked for certain demographic groups. While a body of research documents that time spent working is associated with increased body mass index (BMI), this paper explores possible mechanisms for that relationship using time use data. This paper finds that, for workers in non-strenuous jobs, 10 additional hours spent working are associated with an increase in BMI of 0.424 for women and 0.197 for men, representing an increase of 2.5 and 1.4 pounds, respectively. The paper does not find a relationship between working time and BMI for workers in strenuous jobs. For workers in non-strenuous jobs, the effect of time spent working on BMI becomes smaller after accounting for time spent sleeping for both men and women and time spent in exercise and food preparation for women only; the effect becomes larger after accounting for screen time for both men and women and time spent in secondary eating and commuting for women only. Screen time is the single time use channel associated with the largest differences in the estimated effect of time spent working on BMI for both women and men employed in non-strenuous jobs. After controlling for all time use channels, the effect of hours worked on BMI decreases for women, but increases for men. These findings suggest plausible mechanisms for the association between time spent working and obesity.

Trends In Care Needs Among Older US Adults Diverged By Age, 2011–22 | Health Affairs Journal

Changing late-life disability and care patterns that may accompany population aging have profound consequences for the nation’s health and related public policies. Drawing on two cross-sectional rounds of the National Health and Aging Trends Study, we examined trends among US adults ages 65 and older in 2011, when the oldest members of the baby-boom generation turned age 65, and in 2022, when about half of the generation was ages 65–74. We found increases in the percentage of adults ages 65–74 who reported activity limitations, receiving paid care in the community, and having unmet care needs. In contrast, for older age groups, we found declines in the receipt of care overall and in residential settings, particularly nursing care, without increases in unmet care needs. All else equal, had the sociodemographic and health profile of the group ages 65–74 not differed from the preceding cohort—especially in terms of increased educational attainment—the increases experienced by this age group would have been even larger. Findings portend growing challenges in caring for older US adults in the future.
