Trends in socioeconomic inequalities in behavioural non-communicable disease risk factors
Inequalities in smoking and physical inactivity are persisting or widening. The pattern of higher drinking in higher SEPs obscure the fact that the greatest burden of alcohol-related harm falls on lower SEPs. Policy attention is required to tackle increasing inequalities in smoking prevalence, low fruit and vegetable consumption and physical inactivity, and to reduce alcohol harm
Exploring the characteristics of newly defined at-risk drinkers following the change to the UK low risk drinking guidelines
The change to the Low Risk Drinking Guidelines would have resulted in more than 2 million additional male at-risk drinkers in England. Most groups with greater odds of being at-risk drinkers under the new guidelines were those already known to be drinking the most, strengthening the case for targeted screening and education. Additionally, under the new guidelines, a marked proportion of 16-35 year olds and married men were at-risk and men in the …
Social consequences and mental health outcomes of living in high-rise residential buildings and the influence of planning, urban design and architectural decisions
Investigating the growing trend of non-drinking among young people; analysis of repeated cross-sectional surveys in England 2005–2015
Increases in non-drinking among young people has coincided with a delayed initiation into alcohol consumption, and are to be welcomed. Future research should explore attitudes towards drinking among young people
Evaluating and establishing national norms for mental wellbeing using the short Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS)
SWEMWBS distinguishes mental wellbeing between subgroups, similarly to WEMWBS, but is less sensitive to gender differences
The regional geography of alcohol consumption in England
Persistent long-standing illness and non-drinking over time, implications for the use of lifetime abstainers as a control group
BACKGROUND: Non-drinkers are shown to have worse health than moderate drinkers in later life. We examine the preceding health status of non-drinkers in early adulthood, and secondly whether persistent poor health is associated with persistent non-drinking. METHODS: Using two prospective British birth cohort studies established in 1958 (National Child Development Study (NCDS)) and in 1970 (British Cohort Study (BCS)), participants who reported 'ne…
OP43 Are we Overestimating the Beneficial Effects of Alcohol in Later Life? the Case of Young Non-Drinkers
Background Non-drinkers have been repeatedly shown to have worse health than moderate drinkers in later life particularly as regards conditions such as coronary heart disease, leading some researchers to suggest that moderate alcohol consumption has beneficial effects on health. However the causal direction between non-drinking and worse health has been contested. Whether poor health is associated with non-drinking among young adults in relation …
