Why should researchers use the ONS LS? Its ability to track 50 years of data, enabling unique cross-sequential analysis & insights into long-term societal changes. "It's worth the extra work for the amazing data," say our experts. #ResearchData #DataDriven

Emily Murray shares a particularly impactful study on looked-after children, revealing a 70% higher premature death rate. "I think that's the only time I've been genuinely shook by the results," she says, emphasising the LS's power to uncover critical truths.

Impactful findings: The LS revealed significant mortality inequalities, the influence of housing tenure on care transitions, & the link between local health environments & labor market participation. Powerful insights that shape policy! #Mortality #HealthInequality

🔍 What drew our experts to the ONS LS? Its large, representative population, ability to track changes over time, & capacity to study unique groups like children in care. They highlight its strength in analysing geographic health inequalities #DataAnalysis #ResearchImpact

The ONS Longitudinal Study, a unique resource linking census & life event data, is crucial for understanding the complex relationship between immigration and health. The upcoming 2021 Census link promises even more exciting research possibilities. #Census2021 #DataScience

4️⃣ Intergenerational Health: The LS is also being used to explore health & mortality patterns in the descendants of immigrants, shedding light on the long-term impacts of migration across generations. #IntergenerationalHealth

3️⃣ Unpacking the Paradox: Why do we see this disconnect? Researchers suggest "selection effects" (healthier migrants) and cultural factors like #diet & how #health is perceived could play a role.

2️⃣ The Morbidity Paradox: intriguingly, some immigrant groups report poorer #health despite lower death rates. The LS revealed higher levels of limiting long-term illness alongside low mortality in #Pakistani, #Bangladeshi, #Indian & #Caribbean communities in the UK.

1️⃣ The Immigrant Mortality Advantage: Studies using the LS have consistently shown that immigrants often have lower death rates than non-immigrants. This advantage, however, may lessen over time. Research has debunked theories like "salmon bias" to explain this.

The ONS Longitudinal Study has transformed our understanding of immigration & health in the UK. This thread explores 4 key insights from the latest #LinkingOurLivesPod with @mjwdemography.bsky.social and @jharrison37.bsky.social highlighting the LS' contribution to research in this field.

Shuttleworth discussed the ongoing beta test for the 2021 Census data. This crucial step helps ensure data quality and identifies any anomalies. The 2021 data offers new avenues for research, including exploring the impact of COVID-19 and changes in national identity.

Champion also discussed his research on the "escalator region" hypothesis, exploring whether people who move to the SE for career advancement eventually return. He found evidence of earlier returns, suggesting a complex interplay of career goals, cost of living & quality of life

Both researchers stressed the importance of support staff and organisations like Celsius in facilitating access to and use of the ONS LS data. Champion recounted his experience working with research officers, highlighting the collaborative nature of the research

A key finding? The biggest decline in migration is at shorter distances. This challenges some US trends and highlights the unique dynamics in England & Wales. The LS allows researchers to examine the why behind these patterns, considering factors like age, education, and housing

Champion's early work using the LS explored migration's impact on regional economies, like his study on Cornwall. Shuttleworth emphasised the LS's strength in minimising attrition compared to surveys, crucial for long-term analysis of migration trends
