Causes of heterogeneity in ageing - the Whitehall II study
Lead Research Organisation:

Department Name: Epidemiology and Public Health
Abstract
When the Whitehall II study started in 1985 its aim was to put social class differences in health on the map and investigate the causes of social inequalities in disease during work life. This it has achieved with outstanding success. Subsequent to the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health, launched by the Prime Minister in November 2008, Professor Sir Michael Marmot was invited by the Secretary of State for Health to undertake a national review of the evidence. The Marmot Commission, due to report early in 2010, will propose the most effective strategies for reducing health inequalities in England from 2010 on.
Our current proposal marks a change of direction for the study, namely to combine our existing wealth of data on social inequalities and chronic disease with new clinical measures of cognitive function, mental disorders and physical functioning to build Whitehall II into a world-class, interdisciplinary study of ageing. Ageing is not characterised by universal decline, rather variations in the speed of ageing result in people of the same age becoming increasingly dissimilar in terms of cognitive, mental and physical health and functioning over time. Using existing self-reported measures we have shown physical functioning to decline faster with age in low socioeconomic groups, suggesting that inequalities in functioning will become an important public health issue as the population ages. Understanding the causes of this age-related individual heterogeneity and its distribution by social group will be the core focus of our future work. By the proposed next medical screening, our eleventh wave of data collection, Whitehall II will be optimal for studying outcomes in the elderly. Ninety percent of participants will be 65+, more than 30% 75-85, and our data will span an age range of 50 years. In addition to providing insights into individual and social difference in the development of frailty, disability, dependence, and dementia, our work will enable the determination of optimal time windows and targets for interventions that lower risk and optimise healthy-ageing and independent living.

Technical Summary
Whitehall II is a cohort of 10,308 men and women followed since 1985-88 when they were aged 35-55 and employed by the Civil Service. It has fulfilled its original aim of understanding the contribution of psychosocial, behavioural and biological factors to socioeconomic inequalities in health during work-life. Our current proposal marks a change of direction, namely to build Whitehall II into a world-class, interdisciplinary study of the determinants of ageing, both individual and socioeconomic.
The main advantage of Whitehall II is that the baseline data collection predates that for most studies of ageing by 20-30 years. High quality, repeated measures of environmental exposures and pathophysiological changes over the entire adult life-course bring the advantages of a prospective study of chronic disease aetiology to the study of ageing. These data, augmented by new measures of cognitive function and mental disorders at the next sweep, combined with the age profile of the Whitehall II participants at phase 11 (90% 65+, 30% 75-85) provide a study design and cohort optimal for studying outcomes in the elderly.
Ageing is not characterised by ubiquitous decline, rather variations in the speed of ageing result in contemporaries becoming increasingly dissimilar in terms of cognitive, mental and physical health and functioning over time. Understanding the causes of this age-related individual heterogeneity and its distribution by social group will be the core focus of our future work, addressed via three key cross-cutting aims.
Our first aim is to determine causes of age-related heterogeneity, its origins in midlife and the relative importance of cumulative exposure to risk factors over the adult life course versus factors predominantly operating at older ages.
The second aim is to examine biological and behavioural mechanisms underlying age-related heterogeneity in cognitive, mental and physical health and functioning, and disentangle the temporal relationships, beginning in midlife, between mental health, cognitive and physical functioning and cardiovascular health.
Our third, longer-term aim for Whitehall II, is to use the findings generated by aims 1 and 2 to build up a model of the determinants and the mechanisms that generate individual and social heterogeneity in healthy ageing and its converse; frailty, disability, dependence, and dementia.
Our application requests funding primarily to undertake the phase 11 data collection. In addition we seek funding to maintain the cohort, prepare for phase 11, contribute to genetic collaborations, and make Whitehall II data available to the international research community.

| Impact | Three major reviews in recent years - Carol Black's review of the health of Britain's working age population, Working for a Healthier Tomorrow (2008), the Boorman Review of NHS Health & Well-being (2009) and Fair Society, Healthy Lives (2010) - have advocated a new approach to well-being through health strategies at work. The Marmot Review Team was commissioned by Barts and The London NHS Trust (BLT) to draw up a strategy for actions to improve the health and well-being of their workforce. The NHS is the largest employer in the country, so it is crucial that each Trust acts as a model employer and takes the lead in health promotion. This will only happen by first engaging staff and then engaging with the wider community. BLT is taking forward and leading the agenda as one of the first NHS Trusts to set out to implement the recent reviews' recommendations.

| Impact | Bevan Commission has as its mission to span public health and health care to improve health for the people of Wales. I was invited to give the keynote lecture to bring SDH into their deliberations. As with the NHSE meeting, above, the aim was to explore how to combine SDH with delivery of high quality care. The fact that I was invited to give the keynote lecture is a statement of their intent. The background of Swansea, of course, is as a post-industrial city, with Port Talbot steel works clinging on to a precarious existence. The challenge is innovation in that context with slender resources. We want to come out of this work with England and Wales with real models of how to have the NHS focus on SDH, alone and in partnership |

| Impact | To see how medical schools could have as mission dealing with inequalities in health. Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, oriented to the African American community, and favoured by African-American students, is particularly inspiring. Committed leadership is vital in setting objectives for the whole medical school. One can then see the practice of medicine tailored to the deep and varied needs of socially deprived communities. The challenge is how to get medical education and primary care, particularly, dealing with social determinants of health. |

| Impact | Social gradients in health exist both between and within countries. This research proposal will build on the recommendations of the Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) and the Marmot Review of Health Inequalities, as well as on two European reviews commissioned by the EC and WHO Europe that are currently underway. It will focus on three of the key drivers to reduce health inequities: - early childhood development; - employment and the work environment; - income, welfare and social protection. The research will review evidence and the methods to assess the impact of policies and programmes in these three areas relating to health inequities, develop new methods and evidence, and provide policy recommendations and advocacy guidance. The three main objectives are: 1) identifying and filling key gaps in knowledge about policies driving these three social determinants, 2) analysing methods which have been applied to assess these effects, improving or developing new methods and applying and testing them in case studies across Europe. 3) assessing how the research findings are applicable to real-life situations and stakeholders, and providing advocacy guidance and policy recommendations to reduce health inequalities. The research will be undertaken by a consortium, co-ordinated by EuroHealthNet, and comprising UCL, Dusseldorf University and the Swedish Centre for Health Equity Studies- in partnership with organisations representing the public health sector, civil society and business (EuroHealthNet, EAPN, Eurochild and BiTC). The project commences in January 2012 and finishes in 2014. By Eurohealthnet, Institute of Health Equity, Dusseldorf University and the Swedish Centre for Health Equity Studies Jan 2014 |
| Description | EU Review |
| Geographic Reach | Europe |
| Policy Influence Type | Citation in clinical reviews |
| Impact | This review was commissioned by the European Commission (EC), with the aim of producing a comprehensive report on health inequalities and the actions being taken to combat them in the EU. The report will: i. document and review the health inequalities situation in the EU including recent trends. ii. document and review the policy response to health inequalities at EU, national and, where relevant, sub-national levels. iii. provide an analysis and commentary including implications and suggestions for possible future actions. The background to this review is the communication from the European Commission "Solidarity in health: reducing health inequalities in the EU". This recognised that while EU citizens live, on average, longer and healthier lives than previous generations, the EU is faced with an important challenge: the large gaps in health which exist between and within EU Member States. It points out there are indications that such gaps may be growing and that increased unemployment and uncertainty arising from the current economic crisis is further aggravating this situation. The communication launched the debate needed to define potential EU-level measures to support actions by Member States and other actors to address this issue. The Consortium comprises UCL, the Health Action Partnership International (HAPI), EuroHealthNet and the Association of Public Health Observatories (North East and London Public Health Observatories). The Consortium is led by Professor Sir Michael Marmot. The final report will be submitted in May 2012. By Institute of Health Equity, HAPI, Eurohealthnet and APHO May 2012 |

| Impact | The main purpose was for me to engage in a public debate at Harvard with Angus Deaton, Nobel-prize winning economist from Princeton. Public health researchers, I included, judge that the causal arrow runs from social conditions to health. Economists, as a class, think it goes the other way - from health to income. Angus Deaton wrote a whole book, The Great Escape, based on the premise that there was no relation between social conditions and health. McKeown got it wrong. It was medicine and sanitation. We were now going to debate our perspectives in public. The learning objective was to marshall the evidence to convince a determined sceptic, and to convince the audience. In the event, Anne Case and Angus Deaton had published their paper on deaths of despair. Deaton had nearly, but not completely, come round to the view of social causation. But I learnt a great deal by marshalling the evidence and scrutinising his evidence over a day of discussions. |

As they describe it: "The transfer of public health services to local authorities in April 2013 provided Coventry with an opportunity to continue to broaden the ownership of the health inequalities agenda. Coventry committed to delivering rapid change in health inequalities by 2015 and was one of seven cities in the UK invited to participate in the UK Marmot Network and become a Marmot City. Being part of the Marmot Network has provided Coventry with access to the international expertise of the Marmot Team based at University College London." |

| Impact | I was lecturing on social determinants of health and seeking to engage the interest of these psychiatrists. Childhood and adolescence are key stages both because of mental illness at these ages and because they set the stage for future mental and physical health in adulthood. These psychiatrists take a social perspective, relating children's needs to family and social background. A particular need is to assess effective interventions to reduce the social gradient in adverse child experiences |

| Impact | My book the Health Gap has been translated into Italian, La Salute Diseguale. To my surprise, La Salute Diseguale, was the theme chosen for this year's (annual) Trento Festival of Economics. Economists have generally assumed that the causal arrow runs from health to wealth not the other way round, as public health people assume and demonstrate. What would economists make of my theme. We do need to get economists to take seriously the 'wealth leads to health' pathway and use their analytical methods to help with causal analyses. |

Inspiring to see what humane committed people can do. I am keen to see data showing whether they have really made a difference. Some evidence of what has changed will be important in reaching judgements of how well this model should be generalised. |

| Policy Influence Type | Influenced training of practitioners or researchers |
| Impact | In the course of our PAHO Commission on Equity and Health Inequalities in the Americas, it was put to me by representatives of Canada's Indigenous community that my model of social determinants of health needed to be added to if one were to understand the health disadvantage of Indigenous people: in particular the legacy of colonialism, and the importance of attachment to the land. The visit to Alice was to see what a community oriented health organisation could do. What I saw was the legacy of entrenched disadvantage, but a multi-faceted health care organisation trying to address the problems: early child development centres, a men's health centre aimed at getting young men off the streets and off drugs and alcohol, a public health approach to alcohol, outreach to the community. Conventional wisdom in Australia and, to a lesser extent, in Canada is that nothing works to close the health gap. The big question is whether community controlled organisations are a step to community empowerment that will make a difference. |

| Title | Collection and curation of phase 10 data |
| Description | Collection of phase 10 data took place in February and March 2011. This was a small pilot of 277 participants, selected randomly to try the new measures introduced at Phase 11 (CIS-R, FERT, hair cortisol). For data curation we applied established data quality checks, named and derived variables in a consistent manner with previous waves and added the data to our normalised relational research database. For documentation and preservation purposes, we have produced PDF copies of our protocols and manuals, and generated data dictionaries across waves. |
| Type Of Material | Biological samples |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | Successful pilot of new measures. As as result, the self-administered CIS-R, FERT and collection of hair to measure cortisol levels has been introduced at phase 11. |
| Title | Curation of Phase 9 data |
| Description | Curation of phase 9 data, collected up to December 2009. We applied established data quality checks, named and derived variables in a consistent manner with previous waves and added the data to our normalised relational research database. As soon as this was done, data from the previous collection wave (phase 8) were made publicly available. For documentation and preservation purposes, we have produced PDF copies of our protocols and manuals, and generated data dictionaries across waves. |
| Type Of Material | Biological samples |
| Year Produced | 2010 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Having the curated phase 9 data has enabled us to validate self-reported CHD events (funded by BHF) and self-reported stroke or TIA events (funded by the Stroke Association). Additionally, curated phase 9 data have been shared, analysed and published by Whitehall II researchers and their collaborators in 2010 and 2011. |
| Title | Data Sharing |
| Description | The Whitehall II Data Sharing Policy, established in 2007, continues to govern our provision of data to external researchers and close collaborators. Since April 2010 we have received 42 applications, all of which have been approved. Of these, 7 involved genetic projects, 8 were non-UCL PhD projects and 5 were UCL MSc projects. |
| Type Of Material | Biological samples |
| Year Produced | 2010 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Research publications in 2010 and 2011. Provision of PhD and MSc material. |
| Title | Implementation and planning of Phase 11 |
| Description | The collection of research data during phase 11 requires preliminary work before the questionnaire is finalised and the medical examination clinic is set up. This works involves: - research to decide what clinical measures and batteries of questions are going to be included - seeking ethical approval - establishment of contracts with external providers for services such as data entry, blood analysis, ECG management and diagnosis, equipment, consumables, computer server space, etc. The agreements must include terms and conditions, warranty, payment, secure exchange of data and queries - updating the participants details and their ONS status on the Whitehall administrative database - internal development of Access databases: appointments, screening data, consent, external results, diaries for cortisol collection, GeneActiv management - writing protocols, coding manuals and training material - recruitment: writing job descriptions, shortlisting, interviews |
| Type Of Material | Biological samples |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | It makes phase 11 data collection possible. |

| Results and Impact | The 2016 Boyer Lecture Series titled Fair Australia: Social Justice and the Health Gap on ABC radio in Australia - http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/boyerlectures/ Four hour-long lectures including a live broadcast in Sydney. This national radio reaches a very wide audience, and gave Michael the opportunity to discuss the social determinants of health - the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age, and inequities in power, money and resources; what we can do to give every child the best start; living and working - unemployment is bad for health, but when work is no longer the way out of poverty, health suffers; social justice and health. |

| Results and Impact | This Tube map, 'Lives on the Line', shows the variation in life expectancy in local areas across London. The article includes a quote from Professor Sir Michael Marmot,who said the map "captures how stark the health equalities are in a very small geographical area". "If you want to see a difference in life expectancy between countries of 11 years, you can fly from London to Guatemala," he said. "But if you are worried about your carbon footprint, you could just catch the Tube east. "The difference between Hackney and the West End is the same as the difference between England and Guatemala in terms of life expectancy." Sir Michael said life expectancy was affected by "early child development, education, employment and working conditions, having the minimum income to live a healthy life, the environment and the issues of smoking, obesity, drinking and diet". x |

| Results and Impact | BBC Radio 4 Programme 'Sick Society' 24th September 2012 In Britain, the health gap is growing - in the wealthiest parts of the country, people are living on average more than a decade longer than in the poorest parts. An academic discipline which tries to work out why this health gap exists has also grown. It's called social epidemiology. You've probably never heard of it, but the science has influenced governments of both the left and right. So what answers has it thrown up? The most famous comes from the Whitehall II study of civil servants, led by Sir Michael Marmot, which found that people who are in high-pressure jobs, over which they have low control, are at greater risk of heart disease, because of the stress their lowly position causes. The idea that how much control you have over your work and life affects your health has generated talk in policy-making circles about the need to empower people. But the evidence is contested. When economists look at the same data, they see something different. David Aaronovitch hears the arguments. Contributors: Sir Michael Marmot, professor of epidemiology and public health at University College London Anna Coote, former UK health commissioner Danny Dorling, professor of human geography at the University of Sheffield George Davey-Smith, professor of clinical epidemiology at Bristol University Johan Mackenbach, chair of the department of public health at Erasmus University, Rotterdam Angus Deaton, professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University Stimulated much feedback |

Dr Goldacre talks to some of the pioneers of epidemiology including Michael Marmot whose famous study on civil servants 'changed our view of executive stress' and Professor Diana Kuh, who worked on the original 1946 cohort study. He also meets the scientists behind a new UK Birth cohort study, starting in 2012 which will track a whole new generation of children, starting from their development in the womb to their final days of life. x |

The key claim is that globalisation has promoted growth, but exacerbated inequality. The report talks of "an unjust global economic system that favours a very small elite with great wealth at the price of environmental and social degradation that negatively affects health equity." To the extent that-until Davos at least-inequality was a dirty word at a supranational level, this report helps to make it part of mainstream discourse. |

| Results and Impact | In July 2017 the UCL Institute of Health Equity held a media briefing on Public Health England's release of data monitoring a range of indicators as suggested by Fair Society, Healthy Lives in 2010 (Government commissioned review of health inequalities in England, chaired by Professor Sir Michael Marmot). The coverage that followed last year's media briefing was the equivalent advertising cost of £2,063,280. It was the BBC Radio 4 News headline the following morning, 18 July, and on the front page of The Times, Telegraph and was covered in every national and local newspaper, the Huffington Post and all broadcast outlets. This media impact reflects the value of Professor Sir Michael Marmot's research to population health. The top line from last year's briefing - stalling life expectancy - continued to create media interest throughout the summer. Sir Michael's letter to the health secretary calling for urgent research into why life expectancy seems no longer to be rising was deemed so crucial to population health that The Times covered it on its front page. |

| Results and Impact | Launched the Marmot Report 10 Years On i.e. ten years after the first Marmot Report on health inequalties in England, commissioned by Gordon Brown's government, what has changed. The answer is not good news: My report shows that the increase in life expectancy slowed dramatically since 2010, that health inequalities got bigger, and that life expectancy fell for women in the poorest 10% of areas outside London. My report asks why did this happen. My 2010 review, The Marmot Review, identified 6 domains that we judged to be the causes of health inequalities. My recent, 10 Years On report documents that, as result of Government policy, there was significant movement in an adverse direction in most of these. To coincide with my report, the Government's Health Secretary put out a statement that the Government is committed to levelling up by investing more in the NHS. But my report emphasised that social determinants of health play a far bigger role in determining health inequalities than does the health care system. The result of the press launch was a tsunami of press interest. Twitter reach was about 82 million impressions for #Marmot2020. National media coverage to 4 March worth noting is that the equivalent advertising cost of the media coverage, print alone, is around £2m; broadcast would probably double it. That's an awful lot of exposure! |

| Results and Impact | Professor Sir Michael Marmot was commissioned by the British government to review health inequalities across England in 2010 ('Fair Society, Healthy Lives') following the publication of his World Health Organization (WHO) review 'Closing the Gap in a Generation' in 2008. Sir Michael has since chaired reviews for the WHO across Europe , the Americas and is currently reviewing health inequalities across the Eastern Mediterranean Region . The ground-breaking reviews confirmed governments policies focusing on the health care system and individual behaviour change approaches are not hugely effective at reducing health inequalities. To improve health for everyone and reduce inequalities action needs to be taken on the social determinants - the circumstances in which we are born, grow, live, work and age (causes of the causes of ill health). Yet a decade of austerity has seen drastic cuts to local government funding, which is tasked with funding the social determinants. |

| Results and Impact | As the UK emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic 'Build Back Better' has become the mantra. Important, but we need to Build Back Fairer. The levels of social, environmental and economic inequality in society are damaging health and wellbeing. It was the principles of fairness and the need to do things differently that animated the concrete recommendations we set out in our February 10 Years On Review, just before the pandemic hit with such devastating intensity. Inequalities in mortality from COVID-19 and rising health inequalities as a result of social and economic impacts, have made such action even more important. |
