New work out in @Ageing_Society developing a measure of exposure to social risks in later life. We find it tracks the development of frailty over time and performs as well as many biological markers of the 'pace' of ageing: https://t.co/kSY84oWHIS @acrcedincare
As shown in a recent @TheIFS report, trends in long-term health condition prevalence show big discrepancies across two major surveys - @usociety and the LFS. Come along to this Scottish UKHLS User Group event tomorrow where I'll look at why: https://t.co/2QajSZ6CBC @uoessps
Great to see this work published in Health & Place today! In recent research, loneliness has emerged as a key factor associated with multimorbidity. Here, we model how the neighbourhood social environment plays into this. Some key findings below... (1/5)

We add to the evidence that living in a deprived area is independently bad for your health - those living in the poorest areas were 1.41 times more likely to be multimorbid than those in the richest areas, regardless of their own economic position or health behaviours... (4/5)
Research is increasingly highlighting the importance of place in the development of multimorbidity. We reviewed the field in this paper led by @Chunyu_Zheng
and find the most consistent evidence for deprivation, pollution and urbanisation. Excited to see it out in @socscimed!
Hot off the press from our @NIHRresearch AIM-CISC programme in @socscimed - systematically reviewing the connections between place & multimorbidity https://t.co/49XCbAvEWk @Chunyu_Zheng@AlanMar95122980@acrcedincare

Great to see our work on geographical inequalities in multimorbidity being presented at the ACRC 2024 Conference. A paper is in the works, modelling material and social neighbourhood features associated with different levels of risk, so look out for this in the future!
Overall, radical right-wing candidates with varying levels of seniority stuck to the usual toxic rhetoric, despite claims to the contrary from party elites.
Thanks to @DigiSocProj for supporting the project, @europsa participants for helping develop the paper, and others! (6/6)
Excited to see our study on toxic rhetoric in the French legislative elections published in West European Policitcs @WEPsocial, written with Will Daniel @wdaniel127, Elise Frelin @elisefrelin, Max Valentin Robert @mv_rbrt. Highlights below...

Third, topic modelling showed that, amongst the radical right, it was classic right-wing issues (law and order, republicanism) that were driving this toxic language, along with attacks directed at other parties’ leaders... (5/6)

No sign up required, see you there!
Excited to be presenting at this tomorrow - will be giving a quick talk on whether a Large Language Model can be used to measure neighbourhood effects on health and if such methods add anything beyond what traditional measures capture. Thanks @cbarrie for the invitation!
