  • Why is income volatility associated with poor health? Longitudinal evidence from the UK and France

    Open AccessD Nettle, Coralie Chevallier et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2025

    There is some evidence that income volatility (fluctuations in income over time) negatively affects mental and physical health, independently of the level of income. Evidence to date has examined fluctuations from year to year or from day to day, whereas a more relevant timescale might be month to month. Here, we use data from the Changing Cost of Living Study, a longitudinal panel from the UK and France with monthly data (n = 484). We examine th…

  • Understanding the association between household food insecurity and diet quality

    Open AccessRebecca Evans, Paul Christiansen et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Cited by: 1References: 42

    Household food insecurity - a lack of reliable access to food that is safe, nutritious, and sufficient for normal growth - is associated with physical and mental ill-health. In the UK and many countries worldwide, food insecurity has been exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis and is a major public health concern. To identify potential points of intervention, it is important to understand how food insecurity is associated with individual-level …

  • The daily experience of hunger in UK females with and without food insecurity

    Open AccessCourtney Neal, Gillian V Pepper et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Cited by: 3References: 32

    Food insecurity (FI) is associated with increased mortality risk, depression, and obesity in females in high-income countries, but causal mechanisms remain unclear. FI is often assumed to lead to increased levels of hunger. However, quantitative evidence describing daily experiences of hunger in FI is lacking. Our pre-registered study used ecological momentary assessment to capture experiences of hunger in two groups of UK-based females: those ex…

  • The daily experience of hunger in UK females with and without food insecurity

    Courtney Neal, Gillian Pepper et al.PREPRINT2024

    Food insecurity (FI) is associated with obesity in women in high-income countries, but causal mechanisms remain unclear. FI is often assumed to lead to increased levels of hunger. However, quantitative evidence describing daily experiences of hunger in FI is lacking. Our pre-registered study used ecological momentary assessment to capture experiences of hunger in two groups of UK-based women: those experiencing FI (N = 143) and those experiencing…

  • Humans are not fooled by size illusions in attractiveness judgements

    Open AccessMargaret Bateson, Melissa Bateson et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2014

    Could signallers use size contrast illusions to dishonestly exaggerate their attractiveness to potential mates? Using composite photographs of women from three body mass index (BMI) categories designed to simulate small groups, we show that target women of medium size are judged as thinner when surrounded by larger women than when surrounded by thinner women. However, attractiveness judgements of the same target women were unaffected by this illu…
