More on Chronic disease burden

1. Childhood deprivation raises the risk of frailty in humans (substantially higher odds).

   “Individuals in the highest deprivation quintile show substantially higher odds of adverse health outcomes, including multifrailty.”

1. Childhood deprivation is associated with cognitive function in humans.

   “the number of books at home had a significant direct effect on cognition in wave 3, but an indirect effect on cognition in wave 9 via depression in wave 9.”
