This study identified seven distinct area-level deprivation trajectories in Northern Ireland from 2010 to 2016 and found that upward social mobility was generally linked to reduced risk of poor health outcomes, while downward mobility increased such risks compared to stable deprivation groups. Notably, a dose-response relationship emerged between lower deprivation at the endpoint and better health outcomes, though one upwardly mobile group exhibited unexpectedly high health risks, underscoring the complexity of social mobility's impact on health.
