Session: Thursday 10th July AM (09.15 - 12.45)
Title: Pathways: Understanding Biosocial Influences on Health Throughout the Lifecourse
Convenor:
Professor Emily Grundy (London School of Economics)
Abstract Details
PATHWAYS aims to identify pathways that link socio-demographic circumstances and biological disadvantage to adult health, and parental family and socio-economic circumstances to infant mortality, with a particular emphasis on the mediating factors that lie on these pathways. In this session members of the team will present results of their work highlighting methodological challenges and innovations, as well as substantive findings. The presentations are based on analyses of various longitudinal data sets including the ONS Longitudinal Study, Scottish Longitudinal Study, 1958 birth cohort and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.
