Poorest children have worse health and educational outcomes in adolescence
Generation Z children born into the poorest fifth of families in the UK are 12 times more likely to experience a raft of poor health and educational outcomes by the age of 17 compared to more affluent peers, finds a new report led by UCL researchers. The study, published in The Lancet Public Health , used data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a major study of more than 15,000 children born after the new millennium (September 2000 - January 2002) who are now in their early 20s.

Diet and exercise programs alone won’t tackle childhood obesity
Focusing on immediate fixes such as diet and exercise programs alone won't curb the tide of childhood obesity, according to a new study that for the first time maps the complex pathways that lead to obesity in childhood. Coordinated by the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre the study finds children whose parents did not complete high school and who live with social disadvantage, were more likely to be affected by overweight or obesity in mid-adolescence.

British Muslims faced difficulties accessing healthcare during pandemic
A new report involving UCL researchers has laid bare difficulties British Muslims face when accessing palliative and end of life care. The report - a study between the Muslim Council of Britain, end of life charity Marie Curie, the University of Leeds and UCL - reveals a "postcode lottery" of care. It says the Covid-19 pandemic made pre-existing heath inequalities worse, and disproportionately impacted the health of people from most minoritised groups.
