Factors associated with the identification and well-being of hidden and confirmed carers
Objectives Growing numbers of older people living with disability or long-term conditions are being cared for by family members and friends on an informal, unpaid basis. “Hidden carers,” who provide care to another person but either do not recognize their role or consciously reject it, are overlooked by policymakers and services that rely on self-identification. Methods We compare reports of informal care provision and receipt between dyads of ho…
Individual, social and area level factors associated with older people's walking
Past engagement in physical activity and walking for pleasure are strong predictors of walking behaviour in older people, underscoring the importance of implementing and sustaining walking interventions across the lifespan to ensure continued engagement in later years and the associated health benefits. However, poor health significantly impedes walking in this demographic, emphasising the need for interventions that offer both physical assistanc…
Impact of subjective and objective neighbourhood characteristics and individual socioeconomic position on allostatic load
Research suggests that individuals living in more disadvantaged neighbourhoods experience higher levels of stress but this has generally been based on self-reported stress. We used survey-based neighbourhood quality indicators and biomarker data from Understanding Society, linked to census and crime statistics to explore associations of allostatic load (AL), an objective biomarker-based measure of cumulative stress, with subjective and objective …
Examining the impact of different social class mechanisms on health inequalities
The impact of social class on health is multi-faceted. Policies to reduce health inequalities should focus more on unequal capital ownership, economic democracy and educational inequalities, reflecting Marxist and Weberian mechanisms
Social contact and inequalities in depressive symptoms and loneliness among older adults
Reduced in-person social contact may increase depressive symptoms and loneliness among older adults, especially for those aged 65+ who live alone. Reliance on remote social contact seems unlikely to compensate for social inequalities
Mental health and health behaviours before and during the initial phase of the Covid-19 lockdown
Background There are concerns that COVID-19 mitigation measures, including the ‘lockdown’, may have unintended health consequences. We examined trends in mental health and health behaviours in the UK before and during the initial phase of the COVID-19 lockdown and differences across population subgroups. Methods Repeated cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of the UK Household Longitudinal Study, including representative samples of over 27,0…
Are housing and neighbourhood empowerment beneficial for mental health and wellbeing? Evidence from disadvantaged communities experiencing regeneration
Community engagement and empowerment are central to delivery and outcomes from regeneration programmes, yet evidence for health gains in such contexts is sparse and mixed. This study addresses this issue in respect of mental health and wellbeing in disadvantaged communities in the UK, using a sample of 2862 householders living through housing improvements and regeneration in Glasgow. Feelings of empowerment were more strongly associated with ment…
Impact of the statutory concessionary travel scheme on bus travel among older people
In the context of worldwide ageing, increasing numbers of older people are lonely, isolated and excluded, with serious implications for health, and cognitive and physical functioning. Access to good public transport can improve mobility and social participation among older adults, and policies that improve access and promote use, such as concessionary travel schemes, are potentially important in promoting healthy and successful ageing. Concession…
The evolutionary ecology of age at natural menopause
Associations of internet access with social integration, wellbeing and physical activity among adults in deprived communities
Extending internet access for people in deprived communities is worthy of further consideration in the context of government objectives for tackling social isolation and increasing wellbeing. The results also suggest that greater digitisation of public services may not result in greater cohesion and empowerment in deprived communities, as is often assumed, but rather has the potential to reinforce social inequalities
Population Priorities for Successful Aging
Successful aging definitions that focus on disease do not reflect the views of the population in general and older people in particular. Practitioners and policy makers should be aware of older people's priorities for aging and understand how these differ from their own
Socioeconomic status as an effect modifier of alcohol consumption and harm
BACKGROUND: Alcohol-related mortality and morbidity are high in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations compared with individuals from advantaged areas. It is unclear if this increased harm reflects differences in alcohol consumption between these socioeconomic groups, reverse causation (ie, downward social selection for high-risk drinkers), or a greater risk of harm in individuals of low socioeconomic status compared with those of higher sta…
Perceived neighborhood ethnic diversity and social outcomes
This article examines whether perceived neighborhood ethnic diversity is associated with a range of social outcomes in a postindustrial city undergoing regeneration. The research included a survey in 3 types of deprived area in Glasgow: those undergoing regeneration, those directly adjoining regeneration areas, and those further removed from regeneration areas. In areas undergoing regeneration, perceived diversity was positively associated with m…
Healthy Migrants in an Unhealthy City? The Effects of Time on the Health of Migrants Living in Deprived Areas of Glasgow
This paper examines the healthy immigrant effect in Glasgow, a post-industrial city where the migrant population has more than doubled in the last decade. Using data from a community survey in 15 communities across the city, the paper compares four health outcomes for the following three groups: British-born, social and economic migrants and asylum seekers and refugees. Migrants were found to be healthier than the indigenous population on all fou…

Loneliness, social relations and health and well-being in deprived communities
There is a growing policy concern about the extent of loneliness in advanced societies, and its prevalence among various social groups. This study looks at loneliness among people living in deprived communities, where there may be additional barriers to social engagement including low incomes, fear of crime, poor services and transient populations. The aim was to examine the prevalence of loneliness, and also its associations with different types…
Is changing status through housing tenure associated with changes in mental health? Results from the British Household Panel Survey
BACKGROUND: Actual or perceived status, such as housing tenure, may impact on health through stress-inducing social comparisons. Studies of how status change impacts mental health change are rare but important because they are less prone to confounding. METHODS: We used data from the British Household Panel Survey to compare psychological distress in local authority renters who opted to buy their home under the UK's Right to Buy (RTB) policy vers…
Lonesome Town’? Is Loneliness Associated With the Residential Environment, Including Housing and Neighborhood Factors
This article considers whether feelings of loneliness are associated with aspects of the home and neighborhood of residence. Multinominal logistic regression models were used to explore associations between residential environment and loneliness in 4,000 residents across deprived areas of Glasgow. People who rated their neighborhood environment of higher quality and who used more local amenities were less likely to report loneliness. Respondents …
Getting There? The Effects of Functional Factors, Time and Place on the Social Integration of Migrants
A survey of 1,400 migrants, including many asylum seekers and refugees, living in deprived areas in Glasgow UK is used to test hypotheses in the literature about the effects of functional factors (educational qualifications, ability to speak English, employment), time and place upon the social integration of migrants. Three aspects are considered: trust, reliance and safety; social relations; sense of community. Overall, social integration indica…
The psychosocial pathway to mental well-being at the local level
BACKGROUND: The study investigated whether perceived relative position was associated with mental well-being for people living in deprived areas, as a contribution to debates about income inequality, relative deprivation and health. METHODS: A survey of 4615 residents of deprived areas of Glasgow measured mental well-being using the WEMWBS scale. Perceived relative position was assessed locally and across wider society in relation to housing, nei…
Health improvement for disadvantaged people in Nepal – an evaluation
BACKGROUND: An evaluation of progress with participatory approaches for improvement of health knowledge and health experiences of disadvantaged people in eight Districts of Eastern Nepal has been undertaken. METHODS: A random selection of Village Development Committees and households, within the eight Districts where participation and a Rights-based Approach had been promoted specifically by local NGOs were compared with similar villages and hous…
Living the High Life’? Residential, Social and Psychosocial Outcomes for High-Rise Occupants in a Deprived Context
The current period is one of ambiguity and contestation over the future of high-rise. A range of analyses is performed on survey data from deprived areas in Glasgow to examine the impacts of living in high-rise in comparison to other dwelling types. The findings show that many residential outcomes are worse for people in high-rise, especially related to noise and security issues in dwellings and buildings. Social and psychosocial outcomes are oft…
The association of childhood height, leg length and other measures of skeletal growth with adult cardiovascular disease
BACKGROUND: Taller adults have a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and there is some evidence that pre-adolescent exposures, indexed by leg length, underlie this association. Associations with other aspects of skeletal size in childhood have not previously been investigated. METHODS: We have examined associations of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity with childhood height, shoulder breadth, leg, trunk and foot length using a cohort of c…
P1-402 Psychosocial pathways to mental well-being in deprived areas
Introduction Housing-led regeneration has been shown to have limited effects on mental health. Considering neighbourhoods as a psychosocial environment, regeneration may have greater impact on mental well-being than mental ill-health. This study examined the relationship between the well-being of residents living in deprived areas and aspects of housing, neighbourhoods and communities. Methods A cross-sectional study of 3911 residents in 15 depri…
Intelligence in Early Adulthood and Subsequent Risk of Assault
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between low intelligence (IQ) and increased risk of assault. Previous studies have been relatively small, have not adjust for socioeconomic status, and have not examined method-specific assaults. METHODS: Cox proportional hazards regression was used to explore IQ associations with assault by any means and by four specific methods in a large prospective cohort of 1,120,988 Swedish men. Study members had IQ mea…

What determines the use of home care services by elderly people
The objective of the present study was to investigate the determinants of use of statutory and private home care services by older people living in the community. A questionnaire was distributed to a stratified random sample of 2,000 elderly people living in the community registered with 11 general practices in a British city (equal numbers of men and women, aged 65-74 years, and 75 years or over). The outcome measures were the use of statutory o…

Intelligence in early adulthood and subsequent risk of unintentional injury over two decades
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence of an inverse association between intelligence (IQ) and unintentional injuries. METHODS: Analyses are based on a cohort of 1 109 475 Swedish men with IQ measured in early adulthood. Men were followed up for an average 24 years, and hospital admissions for unintentional injury were recorded. RESULTS: 198 133 (17.9%) men had at least one hospital admission for any unintentional injury during follow-up. The most…
