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.

This article provides a narrative review of the relationships between modifiable lifestyle factors and plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key findings are that better nutrition, more physical activity, and good sleep quality are associated with more favorable plasma AD biomarker profiles, potentially reflecting less cerebral AD pathology.

This article examines the main places and characteristics of mathematics education for girls and young women in primary and secondary schools during the 19th and early 20th century. It looks at, in particular, the mathematical content that pupils learned in these schools and the aims of the teaching they received. It shows how female mathematics teaching differed from its male counterpart by responding to various gender stereotypes referring to the ‘nature’ and social role of women. The article also presents to what extent the girls’ mathematics programs were progressively aligned with those of boys, until they became almost identical from the 1920s onwards.

This study uses a participatory Design Thinking approach in Cork City, Ireland, to identify stakeholder priorities for effective air quality communication strategies that empower communities and support behavioral change. By integrating inclusive communication with systemic policy and infrastructure improvements, the research advances SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), aligning with World Population Day's call to "Leave No One Behind" by addressing environmental health inequities in urban populations.
