Impacts of Poverty and Lifestyles on Mortality: A Cohort Study in Predominantly Low-Income Americans.

Introduction: Low socioeconomic status has been linked to increased mortality. However, the impacts of poverty, alone or combined with health behaviors, on mortality and life expectancy have not been adequately investigated.

Methods: Data from the Southern Community Cohort Study was used, including nearly 86,000 participants recruited during 2002-2009 across 12 US southeastern states.

Populism, "Anti" Ideologies, and Feminist Coalitions.

By understanding populism as an "anti-" politics we can see two strands of populism: the -democratic strand which marginalizes certain groups of people and the anti-structural injustice strand coming from marginalized people. The potential of this anti-structural injustice activism encourages activists to expand their coalitional politics and government and philanthropic donors to see the import of funding and otherwise supporting work against structural injustice that explicitly takes on patriarchy and racism, among the full gamut of ideologies based on hierarchy and injustice.
