I'm interested in further research around what we can do to support this group in terms of healthy lifestyle

Given the large numbers currently NEET as highlighted by @resfoundation.bsky.social , we should be very concerned about this particular group and their future health needs

Early Adult Socioeconomic Paths Create Health Inequality by Age 24 | Imperial News | Imperial College London New research reveals that the socioeconomic trajectory young adults follow significantly impacts their heart and metabolic health.

Further discussion of our study which highlights that a group of young adults not entering full-time employment by age 24 (ALSPAC) had the worst cardiometabolic outcomes at this age. www.imperial.ac.uk/news/269613/...

How employers can promote physical activity among workers: 3 messages based on research Getting more physical activity at work or during commutes might make physical activity goals more feasible for working people. Here are evidence-based ways employers can help.

Movement matters so, for me, a physically active commute by bike means accomplishing two goals at once. I live close enough to work to do this but there are other ways our workplaces can support #PhysicalActivity & #health Via @ca.theconversation.com theconversation.com/how-employer... #MakeYourMove

Along with poor cardiometabolic health in an 'Early Employment group' as has been seen in previous studies. Two other groups 'Higher Education' and 'Extended Education' were more healthy.

The socioeconomic trajectories followed during early adulthood contribute to inequalities in cardiometabolic health by age 24 years Socioeconomic position is strongly associated with cardiovascular health. However, little is known about the short-term health impacts of socioeconomi…

📝Individual socioeconomic inequalities (based on education and employment trajectories) in cardiometabolic health can already be identified at age 24. The Part-time Employment group showed worst cardiometabolic health. #inequalities #earlyadulthood @laura-howe.bsky.social @adh30.bsky.social

Graph depicting 3 different trajectories of diet quality: (1) low, (2) low to high and (3) high

Our latest paper led by Oscar Rousham finds three trajectories of diet quality across adolescence and early adulthood. We find independent contributions of both parental SEP and individual education years to odds of following different trajectories in data from Western Austr. doi.org/10.1016/j.ap...

I genuinely had to go and find the paper that explains this illusion before I could see any circles!

What you see when you look at this image depends on the culture you grew up in. The question is: Are you shocked to hear that some people see rectangles or circles? That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti...

As researchers we could help by giving young people more of a platform to talk about health, combat misinformation, and share their own experiences.

Much more going on in adolescence, for example from this recent study from Finland @utu.fi doi.org/10.1016/j.tj...

Sorry forgot to link the paper: doi: 10.1186/s12937-025-01144-2

Further evidence that diets are pretty stable through later adult life (British Whitehall II cohort study). Nice paper from Mengmei Wang et al. @ucl.ac.uk showing UPF trajectories and links to CVD and CHD. Reinforces the need to develop healthy dietary behaviours earlier in life.
