Background: This study investigated the association between socioeconomic status and type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence in Scotland in 2021 and tested the null hypothesis that inequalities had not changed since they were last described for 2001-2007.
Methods: Data from a national population-based diabetes database for 35-to-84-year-olds in Scotland for 2021 and mid-year population estimates for 2019 stratified by sex and fifths of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation were used to calculate age-specific prevalence of T2D. Age-standardised prevalence was estimated using the European Standard Population with relative risks (RRs) compared between the most (Q1) and least (Q5) deprived fifths for each sex, and compared against similar estimates from 2001 to 2007.
Results: Complete data were available for 255 764 people (98.9%) with T2D. Age-standardised prevalence was lowest for women in Q5 (3.4%) and highest for men in Q1 (11.6%). RRs have increased from 2.00 (95% CI 1.52 to 2.62) in 2001-2007 to 2.48 (95% CI 2.43 to 2.53) in 2021 for women and from 1.58 (95% CI 1.20 to 2.07) in 2007 to 1.89 (95% CI 1.86 to 1.92) in 2021 for men.
Conclusions: Socioeconomic inequalities in T2D prevalence have widened between 2001-2007 and 2021. Further research is required to investigate potential medium-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Mental health among higher education students is a critical public health concern, with numerous studies documenting its impact on student well-being and academic performance.

This study aims to analyze the configuration of inequalities in one of Argentina's most significant production zones for fresh vegetables and cut flowers, located in Greater La Plata, Buenos Aires Province. This ongoing anthropological research, initiated in 2021, employs methods such as participant observation, interviews, food mapping, and digital ethnography. Among the main findings, we highlight that this production zone exhibits, in both its origins and daily operations, certain racist dynamics that are not solely generated by the host society toward migrants but are disseminated throughout the social fabric, including by migrant producers themselves.
