🌈 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.

📈 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.

We're delighted to share that an independent review of HDR UK's #BlackInternProg by @AdvanceHE has been published today!
Five years ago, the programme was launched to tackle the systemic under-representation of Black people in health data science. The review highlights the impact and learning from the programme so far, detailing how it is helping to develop Black talent and recommendations to scale what works.
