Making Ageing-in-Place Work
Over recent decades, there have been substantial global shifts in policy and public preferences towards ageing-in-place. This change, while desirable for many older people, also comes with costs, trade-offs and work, placing the onus on individuals, their families and communities to 'make ageing-in-place work' through care, maintenance, and social connection. To understand individuals' agency and capacity in this context, this article examines th…

I realised it weren't about spending the money. It's about doing something together: ” The Role of Money in a Community Empowerment Initiative and the Implications for Health and Wellbeing
Community initiatives aiming to reduce health inequalities are increasingly common in health policy. Though diverse many such initiatives aim to support residents of disadvantaged places to exercise greater collective control over decisions/actions that affect their lives - which research suggests is an important determinant of health - and some seek to achieve this by giving residents control over a budget. Informed by theoretical work in which …
The effect of slalom practice on handgrip strength of water-skiing athletes with paraplegia
In water skiing, people who experience paraplegia ski in a sitting position, and they rely on hand grip strength (HGS) to grab the tow rope handle and run slalom passes. This study evaluated the immediate effects on maximum HGS after the practice of disabled water skiing, a still unknown aspect. In the dominant hand, maximum HGS was measured by hand-grip dynamometry after 14 practices of four male water skiers with complete spinal cord injury par…
Reframing “participation” and “inclusion” in public health policy and practice to address health inequalities: Evidence from a major resident‐led neighbourhood improvement initiative
There is a need for greater conceptual clarity in place-based initiatives that seek to give residents of disadvantaged neighbourhoods more control over action to address the social determinants of health inequalities at a local level. In this article, we address this issue as it relates to the concepts of participation and inclusion. We draw on qualitative data generated during the first phase of the Communities in Control Study, a longitudinal m…
O2-1.5 Cervical and breast cancer in Latin America: A neoplastic transition
Introduction Demographic and epidemiologic transitions in Latin American and Caribbean countries have contributed to shifts in the main types of cancers that affect women, characterised by differential burdens of cancer associated with a country's stage of demographic transition. Methods We compiled statistics from literature indexes, registries and databases on breast and cervical cancer morbidity, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years f…
O6-2.5 Alcohol and prostate cancer risk: A mendelian randomisation approach
Introduction Despite alcohol being an established carcinogen and recent prospective studies showing increased prostate cancer risk among heavy drinkers, alcohol is not an established risk factor for prostate cancer. We aimed to investigate the causal role of alcohol on prostate cancer through conventional observational epidemiology techniques and Mendelian randomisation, by using genetic variants influencing the propensity to drink or modifying t…
The evolution of a UK regional tobacco control office in its early years: Social contexts and policy dynamics
The Smoke Free North East Office (SFNEO) is the first dedicated tobacco control office in the UK coordinating a regional tobacco control network, Smoke Free North East (SFNE). On the basis of ethnographic research conducted between 2006 and 2008, this article examines the context for SFNEO's emergence at this time and in this region of England, and the main policy and practice challenges it has faced in its early years. SFNE formed in a favourabl…

Metacarpophalangeal pattern profile analysis of a sample drawn from a North Wales population
Sexual dimorphism and population differences were investigated using metacarpophalangeal pattern profile (MCPP) analysis. Although it is an anthropometric technique, MCPP analysis is more frequently used in genetic syndrome analysis and has been under-used in the study of human groups. The present analysis used a series of hand radiographs from Gwynedd, North Wales, to make comparisons, first, between the sexes within the sample and then with pre…

Young Europeans' Orientations to Families and Work
This article explores the orientations of young people (aged 18-30) to family and employment. We draw on data collected as part of a qualitative transnational study conducted in five European countries: the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Norway, and Sweden. The young people who participated in this study were either employed, in education or training programs, or unemployed. Some of the salient social and economic trends across Europe and som…
