Association of Life's Simple 7 lifestyle metric with cardiometabolic disease-free life expectancy in older British men.

Background: Cardiometabolic diseases (CMD), including myocardial infarction, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, are leading causes of disability and mortality globally, particularly for people at an older age. The impact of adhering to the Life's Simple 7 (LS7) on the number of years an individual will live without CMD in older adults remains less studied.

Methods: This study included a cohort of 2662 British men aged 60-79 years free of CMD at baseline from the British Regional Heart Study (BRHS).

Born in Bradford's Age of Wonder cohort: protocol for adolescent data collection.

Background: Adolescence and transition into adulthood are periods shaping life-long mental health, cardiometabolic risk, and inequalities. However, they are poorly studied and understood. By extending and expanding the Born in Bradford (BiB) cohort study through this period using innovative, co-produced approaches to collect and analyse data, we aim to understand better the interplay of factors that influence health and wellbeing, and inform/evaluate interventions to improve them and reduce inequalities.

Neighborhood Deprivation and Changes in Oral Health in Older Age: A Longitudinal Population-Based Study.

The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors (objective and perceived) are associated with poor oral health in older adults over time, independent of individual socioeconomic position. Data for this cross-sectional and longitudinal observation study came from a socially and geographically representative cohort of men aged 71 to 92 y in 2010-12 ( = 1,622), drawn from British general practices, which was followed up in 2018-19 (aged 78-98 y; = 667). Dental measures at both times included number of teeth, periodontal pocket depth, self-rated oral health, and dry mouth.
