The study employs a non-linear autoregressive distributed lag framework for cointegration estimation. This approach allows testing for the existence of possible asymmetries in the response of suicide mortality to increases in economic uncertainty. Uncertainty is gauged by different proxies that allow computing financial uncertainty and labour market uncertainty indicators. The analysis is replicated by gender and across regions, controlling for unemployment and economic growth. Overall, the analysis suggests that uncertainty intensified during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is in line with the stylized facts of economic uncertainty and its pronounced role in recessions. When replicating the experiment by gender, we find that women seem to be more sensitive to changes in uncertainty. Regarding the existence of asymmetries, we found that decreases in economic uncertainty have a greater impact on suicide mortality than increases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 103329"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1353829224001576/pdfft?md5=d49f30e6b66aee59fd4a727229fe0ab0&pid=1-s2.0-S1353829224001576-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141985210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the association between community-level social capital and multidimensional health and well-being outcomes using an outcome-wide approach. We used data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study, a nationwide cohort study of Japanese older adults (analytic samples: 47,227 for outcomes obtained from the long-term care insurance registry and 34,183 for other outcomes). We assessed three aspects of school-district-level community social capital in 2016 (civic participation, social cohesion, and reciprocity) and 41 subsequent health and well-being outcomes through 2019. We performed either a modified multilevel Poisson regression or a multilevel logistic regression analysis. We adjusted for pre-baseline characteristics, prior outcome values, and individual-level social capital from the 2013 wave. Even after Bonferroni correction, we found that community-level social capital was associated with some subsequent social well-being and physical/cognitive health. For example, community-level reciprocity was associated with a higher prevalence of taking a social role (Prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02, 1.04) and undergoing health screening (PR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.04). There was modest evidence that community-level civic participation was associated with a higher competency of intellectual activity (PR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.02) and community-level social cohesion was associated with a reduced onset of functional disability (PR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.90, 0.98). Community-level social capital may promote social well-being and some physical/cognitive health outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 103336"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1353829224001643/pdfft?md5=c6f7afa5a559f53c748dce1fea639ba8&pid=1-s2.0-S1353829224001643-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141914937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Swimmers at Windermere regularly practice across all four seasons while negotiating social concerns such as access, conflicting user groups, public health communications, and swim safety, alongside environmental complications including extreme weather, wastewater, run-off, plastic pollution, algal blooms, biosecurity, and climate change. Simultaneously, these entangled pressures generate ongoing adaptation, ambivalence, and avoidance within the swim communities. Furthermore, they disrupt individualised and inwardly focused understandings of ‘healthy’ outdoor swimming practices. In contribution to the special issue (on outdoor swimming), this article reflects on how outdoor swimming researchers may methodologically attend to these social and environmental complexities within contested lacustrine environments through an immersive 12-month wet ethnographic approach, combining ‘lake-hangouts’ and ‘swim-along interviews’ with different swimmers at Windermere. The article discusses how these relational in-situ approaches can continue to broaden inwardly focused understandings of ‘healthy’ outdoor swimming practices towards the wider social and environmental relations for both the participants and researcher.
