How our working and family lives affect our health as we get older is of increasing interest to us all. Researchers at the ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies have used the 1958 Cohort Study to look at levels of inflammation (indicators of being at risk of illnesses such as heart disease) and and how people combine their work and family lives to see if any patterns emerge that could tell us more.
In this episode of the ICLS Podcast, Dr Rebecca Lacey explains the background and context of the research and what the team has found.
You can also listen to a policy seminar talk about the research.
