Great to see our work on geographical inequalities in multimorbidity being presented at the ACRC 2024 Conference. A paper is in the works, modelling material and social neighbourhood features associated with different levels of risk, so look out for this in the future!

Research is increasingly highlighting the importance of place in the development of multimorbidity. We reviewed the field in this paper led by Chunyu Zheng and find the most consistent evidence for deprivation, pollution and urbanisation. Excited to see it out in @socscimed!
