Lifecourse transitions associated with independence and adulthood are increasingly happening later in the lifecycle.

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies

Noticed that people tend to latch onto monocausal explanations for racist disparities in pregnancy+birth outcomes.
Obstetric racism is an important factor, but it is downstream of the entwined environmental & social exposures across the lifecourse that harm the health of pregnancy-capable people.

Indeed. All the criticisms of it I go 'yeah, but that's good'. It's good to encourage people to give their children money while they are alive, when they will on the whole be at a point in the lifecourse where they need it most!

Racism is not only detrimental to health in the sense of accessing diagnostic, treatment & prevention services. It’s a lifecourse stress exposure affecting socioeconomic & environmental determinants of health. To live in a racist community is bad even if the racism is not directed personally at you.

What the heck is 'the longitudinal association'?
I see the term used in many lifecourse epidemiology studies. I have no idea what it means.

The govt and the electorate must understand that child poverty is not only hugely detrimental in the present. It shapes population wellbeing for generations to come. The evidence is so clear on the lifecourse health effects of poverty.

Poverty CAN harm development, but your OP implies it WILL, which will be used as an excuse to write off kids who grow up poor. Is it wrong that kids grow up in poverty? It 100% is. Should we do something about it? We should. But the brains of poor kids can also be ok.

There’s hardly any other area of research that has stronger evidence than what we know about the detrimental effect of poverty over the lifecourse on health, yet when you say the biggest thing you can do to improve the public’s health is tackling poverty they call you ‘political’.
4.3 million children are in poverty
UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢
Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in part due to social security policies 1/5

The 3rd edition of Health Inequality has kept aspects of the older two editions that @zetkin.bsky.social originally wrote & so many found to be an accessible way into understanding the complexities of health inequalities, but there are new bits too
Here's a wee thread to explain what we've done 😉

The opposition to reform in the #A2Council housing debates loves to say "families want single family homes with a yard." But families' housing needs evolve through the lifecourse. We need to allow a variety of housing to meet the diversity of housing needs.
Letter to the Editor SPOTLIGHT in The Minnesota Star Tribune!
"The goal should be that every household has a good chance of finding the right home for their situation. With reforms like these, we have a chance to get there."
