1 Thread on #mpox which is in the news again since a returning traveller was diagnosed in Sweden with a new more dangerous strain which reached Europe for the first time.
In the 2022-23 global outbreak I was clinical advisor to @WHOEurope
Here’s what I think you need to know.
Our study identifying phenotypes with different underlying biological features driving ethnicity-associated outcomes in COVID-19 is now online @BJAJournals @JohnProwle @rupert_pearse @Zudin_P sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
8/9 Take home message -> Increased representation of high-risk phenotypes associated with inflammation and catabolism in Black and Asian patients could be driven by baseline differences in health status, reflecting longstanding health inequalities.
9/9 We are very grateful for support for this study from the @ICS_updates New Investigator Award.

So excited to be hosting the new broadcast series #HEALTHandPOWER with the amazing @susancolehaley focusing on health inequalities affecting people of colour. 📣 1st episode 📣 30th Jan 📣 Phenomenal guests @BolaOwolabi8 & @ProfKevinFenton 📣 5.30-6pm on @aidsmap socials
Shocking differences. Residents of Barking and Dagenham have the same life expectancy as they did 10 years ago, compared to boroughs like Kensington and Chelsea where improvements have continued until much more recently.

2 – Life expectancy by London borough
The latest data on life expectancy shows large inequalities in how long you can expect to live, depending on which borough you live in.
Women in Westminster can expect to live 6 years longer than those in Barking & Dagenham – Men 7 years
ALT Graph showing life expectancy at birth by borough for men and women. It shows that women have longer life expectancies in each borough than men. There are large gaps between different boroughs. For example the borough with the highest life expectancy for women (Kensington and Chelsea) is about 6 years higher than the lowest (Barking and Dagenham)

Am giving evidence to @UKHouseofLords Science & Technology Committee regarding role of clinical academics in NHS on Tues, so would love to hear what #MedTwitter thinks they need to hear.
