When we think of staying healthy, what usually comes to mind is eating well, exercising regularly, and visiting the doctor when needed. But there’s a bigger picture that often goes unnoticed.

Indicators of structural sexism and racism are associated with greater memory decline in older women in the United States.

A new study from Columbia University researchers: ‘Sexism Is a Risk Factor for Memory Decline Among Women’

From the Columbia University posting:

“The difference between being born in the most versus the least sexist state was equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.

The study is part of a growing body of research that has investigated links between structural sexism and health. Structural sexism, like structural racism, does not refer to personal incidences but to inequality in resources and power that stem from social policies and societal norms. Hate crimes or slurs are individual acts of racism or sexism, whereas unfair lending practices and underrepresentation in government are structural.”

Emergency department visits for asthma among children under 4 decreased 12% in zip codes near 3 coal-fired power plants following their closures relative to rates in zip codes farther away during the same period. Closing coal-fired power plants can lead to improvements in the respiratory health of young children.

#Strikes by #HealthcareWorkers invite everyone into a conversation about what matters to us, what are we here for, what do we prioritise? Historically, care & treatment is a social sieve, separating haves from have-nots, but we now have the data on #socialdeterminants of #mentalhealth; it turns out #inequity is bad for ALL of us, not just the poor.

How do we value caring, & how do we value equity?

It seems obvious to me, but apparently this government thinks there are many for whom it's not.

APPARENTLY THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE CLEAR:

If you only support randomised controlled trials, then you only support research suitable for experimental study.

That excludes studying structural & social determinants, like racism & poverty.

This is socially regressive. Simple.

All UK Medical Research Council units (aka 'centres for excellence') must now propose 'challenges' that they will 'solve' within 7-14 years.

This is socially regressive & suggests a deep misunderstanding of population health. No centre can 'solve' structural inequities. Yet they *should* be focussing more on these issues than ever. I have asked for information on the diversity & representation of the people who made this decision.
