Wellcome Open Research, 2021
Background: Behaviour change interventions (BCI), their contexts and evaluation methods are heterogeneous, making it difficult to synthesise evidence and make recommendations for real-world policy and practice.

Socio-economic status and trajectories of a novel multidimensional metric of Active and Healthy Ageing: the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing

Scientific Reports, 2023
Healthy ageing research largely has a unidimensional focus on physical health, negating the importance of psychosocial factors in the maintenance of a good quality-of-life. In this cohort study, we aimed to identify trajectories of a new multidimensional
