Inflammation can be good and bad for us. Find out more in this presentation from researcher Rebecca Lacey, who uses inflammatory markers in mid life to look at whether the way in which we combine our work and family lives early on affects our health later on.
The research, presented at an ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies policy seminar, concludes that homemakers and people who have children early, particularly teen parents, are at greater risk of poor health in mid life and recommends increased support and opportunities for young parents.
