We are a group of researchers with the ambitious aim to improve population health, health equity and environmental sustainability in cities around the world 🌍🏘️
Double act by @ThickNavyRain and I at #EGU24 in the air quality session summarising 5 years of work by the @Pathways2Equity team to measure and model environmental exposures in Accra, Ghana and what comes next for new health studies led by @raphazi1
My PhD journey has been an awesome experience. I am grateful to Professor Samuel Agyei-Mensah(@UnivofGh), Prof Majid Ezaati, Prof George Owusu, Dr Sivakumar Aruna (@imperialcollege) and Dr Ernest Agyemang. Funding was through Pathways (@Pathways2Equity of @wellcometrust)

The risk of dying from cancer in some poorer areas of England is far higher than the risk seen in wealthier areas, with northern cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, Hull, and Newcastle among the worst affected, a study has found

NOW OF: A population-based, spatiotemporal study of of vital registration data from the UK Office for National Statistics aims to estimate trends in mortality from leading cancers from 2002 to 2019 for the 314 districts in England.

Risk of dying from cancer in some poorer districts of England over 70% higher than wealthy districts, a new study in @TheLancetOncol suggests

ALT Probability of dying from a cancer between birth and age 80 years in 314 local authority districts in England in 2019, and change in probabilities of dying from 2002 to 2019, in women and men
The greatest inequality across districts was for cancers where factors such as smoking, alcohol and obesity have a large influence on the risk of getting cancer.
