This study identified seven distinct area-level deprivation trajectories in Northern Ireland from 2010 to 2016 and found that upward social mobility was generally linked to reduced risk of poor health outcomes, while downward mobility increased such risks compared to stable deprivation groups. Notably, a dose-response relationship emerged between lower deprivation at the endpoint and better health outcomes, though one upwardly mobile group exhibited unexpectedly high health risks, underscoring the complexity of social mobility's impact on health.
The article reports widespread exposure to the endocrine-disrupting chemical di-n-hexyl phthalate (DnHxP) in Danish pregnant women, children, and adults, with significantly higher exposures during the summer months, likely due to contamination of the UV-filter diethylamino hydroxybenzyl hexyl benzoate (DHHB) in sunscreen products
Effective early recognition and standardized triage systems, such as the UK�s Birmingham Symptom-specific Obstetric Triage System, are essential for timely intervention in obstetric emergencies, especially amid rising complexities and health inequalities. Prioritizing inclusive, patient-centered care, robust safety investigations, and multidisciplinary teamwork are crucial for improving maternal and neonatal outcomes and ensuring equitable, high-quality maternity services.
This study uses a participatory Design Thinking approach in Cork City, Ireland, to identify stakeholder priorities for effective air quality communication strategies that empower communities and support behavioral change. By integrating inclusive communication with systemic policy and infrastructure improvements, the research advances SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), aligning with World Population Day's call to "Leave No One Behind" by addressing environmental health inequities in urban populations.
This study leverages crowdsourced urban climate data to provide more inclusive and granular insights into urban heat dynamics, addressing gaps in traditional monitoring that often overlook marginalized communities. By harnessing freely available citizen science observations, the method supports the World Population Day theme of "To Leave No One Behind, Count Everyone," enabling more equitable and comprehensive data to inform sustainable urban development and climate resilience.
This article discusses the challenges and lessons learned from conducting an inclusive randomized controlled trial (AFRI-c) in 91 care homes across England.�
