There are socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of multimorbidity and its accumulation across the life course. Estimates of multimorbidity prevalence in English primary care increased by more than two-thirds from 2004 to 2019. We developed a microsimulation model to quantify current and projected multimorbidity inequalities in the English adult population. We used primary care data for adults

Mental and physical health morbidity among people in prisons: an umbrella review Lancet Public Health (IF 50.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-27 Louis Favril PhD, Prof Josiah D Rich MD, Jake Hard FRCGP, Prof Seena Fazel MD
People who experience incarceration are characterised by poor health profiles. Clarification of the disease burden in the prison population can inform service and policy development. We aimed to synthesise and assess the evidence regarding the epidemiology of mental and physical health conditions among people in prisons worldwide. In this umbrella review, five bibliographic databases (Web of Science

Prevalence of dementia among people experiencing homelessness in Ontario, Canada: a population-based comparative analysis Lancet Public Health (IF 50.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-27 Prof Richard G Booth PhD, Monidipa Dasgupta FRCP(C), Prof Cheryl Forchuk PhD, Salimah Z Shariff PhD
Cognitive decline in people experiencing homelessness is an increasingly recognised issue. We compared the prevalence of dementia among people experiencing homelessness to housed individuals in the general population and those living in low-income neighbourhoods. We conducted a population-based, cross-sectional, comparative analysis using linked health-care administrative data from Ontario, Canada

After successful intensive interventions to rapidly increase HIV awareness, coverage of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and viral suppression, HIV programmes in eastern and southern Africa are considering scaling back of some interventions, such as widespread general population HIV testing. We aimed to model whether scaling back of general population HIV testing in South Africa could result in a resurgence

Life course epidemiology aims to study the effect of exposures on health outcomes across the life course from a social, behavioural, and biological perspective. In this Review, we describe how life course epidemiology changes the way the causes of chronic diseases are understood, with the example of hypertension, breast cancer, and dementia, and how it guides prevention strategies.

Morbidity and mortality associated with bereavement is an important public health issue, yet economic and resource investments to effectively implement and sustain integrated bereavement services are sorely lacking at national and global levels. Although bereavement support is a component of palliative care provision, continuity of care for bereaved individuals is often not standard practice in palliative

Supervised consumption services (SCS) prevent overdose deaths onsite; however, less is known about their effect on population-level overdose mortality. We aimed to characterise overdose mortality in Toronto, ON, Canada, and to establish the spatial association between SCS locations and overdose mortality events. For this ecological study and spatial analysis, we compared crude overdose mortality rates

Cancer is one of the most pressing global health issues, and populations with complex needs, such as people experiencing homelessness, have higher cancer incidence and mortality rates compared with the housed population. We mapped the evidence on cancer risk factors as well as barriers and facilitators to cancer prevention services among people experiencing homelessness, which is key to localising

Transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse people face discrimination and barriers to accessing health care. Existing evidence suggests higher rates of mental health conditions among these groups compared with binary and cisgender groups. However, information is limited by poor gender recording in health records and surveys. We aimed to provide the first national estimates of gender-related inequalities

Health disparities related to sexual orientation and gender identity exist across multiple outcomes. Scholarship has begun to evaluate whether structural stigma—ie, societal-level conditions, cultural norms, and institutional policies that constrain opportunities, resources, and wellbeing—contributes to health burdens among LGBTQ+ individuals. We conducted a comprehensive review of quantitative studies

Background Young carers are people aged up to 25 years who provide unpaid care to a relative or a friend living with a long-term condition or a disability. Providing informal care is associated with poor mental health. Longitudinal evidence on this relationship among young people is scarce. To address this gap, we assessed the mental health of people aged 15–25 years when providing informal care compared

Diagnostic yield of a proactive strategy for early detection of cardiovascular disease versus usual care in adults with type 2 diabetes or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in primary care in the Netherlands (RED-CVD): a multicentre, pragmatic, cluster-randomised, controlled trial Lancet Public Health (IF 50.0) Pub Date : 2023-12-19 Amy Groenewegen MD, Victor W Zwartkruis MD, Prof Michiel Rienstra MD PhD, Nicolaas P A Zuithoff PhD, Monika Hollander MD PhD, Prof Hendrik Koffijberg PhD, Martijn Oude Wolcherink, Maarten J Cramer MD PhD, Prof Yvonne T van der Schouw PhD, Prof Arno W Hoes MD PhD, Prof Frans H Rutten MD PhD, Prof Rudolf A de Boer MD PhD
Progressive cardiovascular diseases (eg, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and coronary artery disease) are often diagnosed late in high-risk individuals with common comorbidities that might mimic or mask symptoms, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and type 2 diabetes.

Chinese men consume around 40% of the world's cigarettes, causing a substantial and growing burden of tobacco-attributed death and disease. In 2005, the Chinese Government ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and tobacco control measures have since increased nationwide.

Cancer screening has the potential to decrease mortality from several common cancer types. The first cancer screening programme in China was initiated in 1958 and the Cancer High Incidence Fields established in the 1970s have provided an extensive source of information for national cancer screening programmes.

Over the past 2 decades, China has made remarkable progress in health-care service coverage, especially in the areas of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health, infectious diseases, and service capacity and access. In these areas, coverage is comparable to those in high-income countries. Inequalities of service coverage in these areas have been reduced. However, there remain large gaps in

Background The health of unpaid caregivers is poorer, on average, than in non-caregivers. There has been little focus on how health changes when becoming a caregiver and whether this varies by age, gender, and caregiving intensity. We aimed to investigate the mental and physical health changes involved with becoming a caregiver and whether these associations varied by gender, caregiving intensity,
