Kids' Environment and Health Cohort

Great to see Guardian cover our research today - it's flats and smaller houses that are most at risk of overheating, so should be no surprise that vulnerable families will be more at risk.

Important to think about cooling homes as well as warming them!

🌟Research from Born In Bradford explores how house moves & physical environments affect mental health

Those experiencing mental health problems are more likely to move, often to areas with worse environmental quality, which may hinder recovery and reinforce inequality

Air pollution is a serious and preventable health risk, especially for children.

We echo @rcphysicians.bsky.social – urgent action is needed. Their new report shows the wide-ranging health harms of polluted air.

Cohorts like ours help build the evidence for change.

Lets commit to supporting biodiverse green spaces in every community.

Come along to our Mini-Symposium to learn more about how environments shape our health: eventbrite.co.uk/e/mini-sympo...

📚 Explore the science behind these connections: linktr.ee/kenvh_cohort...

Biodiverse spaces:
🌬️ Filter air → Clean air
💧 Filter water → Safe drinking water
🌡️ Regulate climate → Stable temperatures & fewer extreme weather events
🍽️ Support food systems → Nutrient-rich food
🦠 Prevent disease → A healthier population

🌿 Biodiversity is the foundation of human health 🌿

From forests to wetlands to gardens, biodiverse ecosystems do more than support wildlife, they actively protect our health.

A 🧵on how biodiverse spaces play a vital role in shaping our health:
