Ethnic inequalities in positive Sars-CoV-2 tests, infection prognosis, Covid-19 hospitalisations and deaths
BACKGROUND: This study aims to estimate ethnic inequalities in risk for positive SARS-CoV-2 tests, COVID-19 hospitalisations and deaths over time in Scotland. METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study where the 2011 Scottish Census was linked to health records. We included all individuals ≥ 16 years living in Scotland on 1 March 2020. The study period was from 1 March 2020 to 17 April 2022. Self-reported ethnic group was taken from th…
Theory driven analysis of social class and health outcomes using UK nationally representative longitudinal data
This study has demonstrated both the potential and the limitations of available cohort studies in measuring aspects of social class theory. The relatively small amount of variation explained in the outcome variables in this study suggests that these are imperfect measures of the different social class mechanisms. However, the study lays an important foundation for further research to understand the complex interactions, at various life stages, be…
Dying younger in Scotland
Given previous evidence that not all Scotland's higher mortality compared to England & Wales (E&W) can be explained by deprivation, the aim was to enhance understanding of this excess by analysing changes in deprivation and mortality in Scotland and E&W between 1981 and 2011. Mortality was compared by means of direct standardisation and log-linear Poisson regression models, adjusting for age, sex and deprivation. Different measures of deprivation…
Life expectancy of different ethnic groups using death records linked to population census data for 4.62 million people in Scotland
BACKGROUND: Few countries record the data needed to estimate life expectancy by ethnic group. Such information is helpful in assessing the extent of health inequality. METHOD: Life tables were created using 3 years of deaths (May 2001-April 2004) linked to Scottish 2001 Census data for 4.62 million individuals with self-reported ethnicity. We created 8 ethnic groups based on the census definitions, each with at least 5000 individuals and 40 death…
OP30 Exploring Reasons for Different Health Outcomes between Identically Deprived Post-Industrial UK Cities
Background Research has shown that Glasgow has an almost identical deprivation profile to Liverpool and Manchester. However, premature mortality is 30% higher, with mortality at all ages almost 15% higher. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain this phenomenon: for many, however, no data have been available by which their plausibility could be properly assessed. Methods A representative population survey of Glasgow, Liverpool and Mancheste…
