  • Associations of age at type 2 diabetes diagnosis with ethnicity and socioeconomic deprivation

    Open AccessJonathan Goldney, Sharmin Shabnam et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2026

    BACKGROUND: In England, younger individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are more likely to be from minority ethnic groups and from higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation as compared to older individuals with T2D. It remains unclear whether younger individuals from these groups are at a heightened risk of T2D, or whether the observed distribution of ethnicity, deprivation, and age among those with T2D reflects that of the general population. ME…

  • Co-creating community engagement and involvement strategies

    Open AccessMonika Arora, Mansi Chopra et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) presents significant healthcare and patient-level challenges, which are further compounded by fragmented and poorly coordinated healthcare systems, leading to difficulties in access, dissatisfaction with quality of services, non-engagement with treatment protocols and poor outcomes. Overcoming these barriers requires a strong and equitable primary healthcare system that prioritises people-centred …

  • Unequal impact of Covid-19 on excess deaths, life expectancy, and premature mortality in Spanish regions (2020-2021)

    Open AccessNazrul Islam, Fernando García López et al.ARTICLEGaceta Sanitaria2024

    We aimed to estimate regional inequalities in excess deaths and premature mortality in Spain during 2020 and 2021, before high vaccination coverage against COVID-19. With data from the National Institute of Statistics, within each region, sex, and age group, we estimated the excess deaths, the change in life expectancy at birth ( e 0 ) and age 65 ( e 65 ) and years of life lost as the difference between the observed and expected deaths using a ti…

  • Health and social care experience and research perception of different ethnic minority populations in the East Midlands, United Kingdom (Represent study)

    Open AccessWinifred Ekezie, Shabana Cassambai et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024

    INTRODUCTION: Ethnic minority populations experience significant health and social care disparities; despite experiencing a greater burden of diseases, these groups are underrepresented in health and social care research. Consequently, related research can be less applicable to these population groups. The REPRESENT study aims to explore the health and social care experiences of ethnic minorities and other minoritised populations, their research …

  • Discrimination, disadvantage and disempowerment during Covid-19

    Open AccessMayuri Gogoi, Irtiza Qureshi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2024

    Our research demonstrates how an intrasectional lens can help better understand how different forms of mutually reinforcing inequities exist at all levels within the healthcare workforce and how these impact HCWs from certain backgrounds who face greater disadvantage, discrimination and disempowerment, particularly during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic

  • Retrospective cohort study of the association between socioeconomic deprivation and incidence of gestational diabetes and perinatal outcomes

    Open AccessSrirangan Jeyaparam, Rochan Agha-Jaffar et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Our analysis demonstrates that socioeconomic deprivation was not associated with incidence of GDM or adverse perinatal outcomes. Factors such as genetic predisposition and lifestyle habits may likely play a larger role in the development of GDM compared to socioeconomic deprivation alone

Chronotype (single question) and physical behaviours (GENEActiv accelerometer on the non-dominant wrist) were assessed in 965 adolescent girls (13.9 ± 0.8 years). Linear mixed-effects models examined the relationships a…

  • Ethnic disparities in Covid-19 outcomes

    Open AccessFrancesco Zaccardi, Pui San Tan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    International population-level analyses demonstrate clear ethnic inequalities in COVID-19 risks. Policymakers should be cognisant of the increased risks in some ethnic populations and design equitable health policy as the pandemic continues

  • Open science communication

    Open AccessMartin Mckee, Danny Altmann et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a light on the complex relationship between science and policy. Policymakers have had to make decisions at speed in conditions of uncertainty, implementing policies that have had profound consequences for people's lives. Yet this process has sometimes been characterised by fragmentation, opacity and a disconnect between evidence and policy. In the United Kingdom, concerns about the secrecy that initially surrounded…

  • Modelling the Reallocation of Time Spent Sitting into Physical Activity

    Open AccessGregory J H Biddle, Joseph Henson et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Isotemporal substitution modelling (ISM) and compositional isotemporal modelling (CISM) are statistical approaches used in epidemiology to model the associations of replacing time in one physical behaviour with time in another. This study's aim was to use both ISM and CISM to examine and compare associations of reallocating 60 min of sitting into standing or stepping with markers of cardiometabolic health. Cross-sectional data collected during th…

  • Association of working shifts, inside and outside of healthcare, with severe Covid−19

    Open AccessAlex V Rowlands, Clare Gillies et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Both health and shift work (measured at baseline, 2006-2010) were independently associated with over twice the odds of severe COVID-19 in 2020; the odds were over seven times higher in health workers who work shifts. Vaccinations, therapeutic and preventative options should take into consideration not only health and key worker status but also shift worker status

  • Unequal impact of the Covid-19 crisis on minority ethnic groups

    Open AccessSrinivasa Vittal Katikireddi, Sham Lal et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2021Citada por: 16Referencias: 32

    Minority ethnic groups have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the exact reasons for this remain unclear, they are likely due to a complex interplay of factors rather than a single cause. Reducing these inequalities requires a greater understanding of the causes. Research to date, however, has been hampered by a lack of theoretical understanding of the meaning of ‘ethnicity’ (or race) and the potential pathways leadi…

  • Impact of Covid-19 on routine care for chronic diseases
