🌈 Multiple long-term term conditions (MLTC or multimobidity) is growing fast worldwide. But its impact isn’t the same for everyone. 📚 We systematically reviewed 792 studies to examine Sociodemographic intersections Unfortunately, only 4 studies met the criteria—and none were longitudinal. ⏳A major lack of intersectionality-informed, longitudinal MLTC research. Without it, we can’t understand how inequalities unfold across the life course—or design solutions that truly work. Led by our PhD student Daniel Han With Tom Yates @razieh93 and @frazac journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

📈 What happens after prediabetes (intermediate hyperglycaemia) ? Our paper led by @frazac and Suping Using data from 328k adults in England, we mapped trajectories to type 2 diabetes, cancer, and death. 👵🏽 Older adults had the highest cancer rates, while developing T2D only slightly increased cancer risk. ⏳ 10 years after diagnosis, most younger adults stayed in the prediabetes state, whereas older adults had higher risks of progression or death. 🔍 BMI, smoking, ethnicity & deprivation shaped these pathways too. 🎯 Prevention and early detection of T2D & cancer must be tailored to age at prediabetes diagnosis—one size doesn’t fit all. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
