Regarding Cancer and Social Position; As, Although One Or Two Dr. M. Young?Variation in Mortality from Cancer. 205 VARIATION IN THE MORTALITY FROM CANCER AMONGST PERSONS IN THE DIFFERENT DIS- TRICTS OF GLASGOW AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO SOCIAL STATUS. By MATTHEW YOUNG, M.D., Statistical Department, National Institute for Medical Research. The Medical Officer of Health for the city of Glasgow, in his annual report for the year 1924 issued in August, 1925, states, in a brief reference to the varying incidence of cancer in the municipal wards of the city, that it may be observed that the death-rate from cancer during the year was 1,748 per million in Blythswood, 1,659 in Park, 1,571 in Langside, and 1,594 in Camphill, as compared with 598 per million in Maryhill, 625 in Springburn, and 743 in Govan. His comment on these figures is:?"The most obvious contrast here is that the former group of wards may be regarded as mainly residential and the other as artisan, but that without making an intensive study of classification and its age and sex incidence nothing definite can incidence of the disease in various be said regardingo o the classes of the population." The above-mentioned figures, but without the added reservation, were quoted in the London Times in October, 1925, as showing that cancer in Glasgow among the leisured classes is more than twice as prevalent as it is among the wage earners. This is certainly the impression the crude figures would convey, but it is opposed to the more generally accepted view regarding cancer and social position; as, although one or two observers, including Heron (1907),4 Davies (1924),2 and Roger Williams (1908),7 maintain that cancer is most prevalent in people of high social status; most of those who have studied the problem, including Stevenson (1923),6 Brown and Mohan Lai (1914),1 Maynard (1909),5 and Dublin (1924),3 have come to the conclusion that the mortality from malignant disease 206 Dr. M. Young?Variation in the Mortality from Cancer as a whole in the community declines with ascent in the social scale. Heron's conclusion was originally based on the crude mortality-rates from cancer in the metropolitan boroughs of London for the year 1901. In a later paper, however, he examined the statistics for the four years' period 1901-04, making a rough correction for the varying age constitution of the population in the different London Boroughs by cal- culating the cancer death-rates on the populations between the as cancer in both ages of 30 and 70 years, the bulk of the deaths sexes occur in this age interval. Although the co-efficients of correlation he obtains from these data can only be regarded as doubtfully significant, his final conclusion is that the incidence of cancer is most heavy amongst the well-to-do classes. Brown has made a more detailed examination of the cancer data for the metropolitan boroughs of London for the standardised year 1901 and the four years' period 1906-10, using death-rates, and finds that this procedure reduces the correlation obtained by Heron by the use of crude mortality-rates to such of a degree that the co-efficient between the proportion pro- fessional men in the population and the cancer death-rate becomes doubtfully significant and that between the death-rate and the proportion of domestic servants in private families quite insignificant, as it is less than its probable error. From 1911 onwards the deaths recorded as occurring in the different districts in the annual reports of the Registrar-General have been adjusted where necessary by the .transfer of deaths to the districts to which they belonged. This is of special importance in cancer, as many cases are transferred to hospital for treatment and may die away from their proper districts. For the decennium 1911-20, for which cancer statistics in districts are thus more reliable than in earlier years, correlation co-efficients have been calculated between the standardised death-rates from cancer in males, females, and persons aged in the of London 25 years and upwards metropolitan boroughs and three indices of the general social status of the residents in these boroughs, namely, the number of rooms per person, the number of domestic servants per 100 private families, and the proportion of professional men. The co-efficients are all excess negative, suggesting a direct association between an amongst Persons in the different Districts of Glasgow. 207 of cancer and lower social status, but they are all so small in comparison with their probable errors that no significance can be attached to them. They thus support the inferences drawn by Brown from the data in previous years. Brown also finds a significant negative correlation between the standardised death-rates from cancer in twenty-six divisions of the city of Hamburg for the period 1906-12 and the average income of the inhabitants therein. This result, he states, serves to strengthen the general conclusion that cancer is not more, but less fatal among the well-to-do classes. Stevenson's conclusion is that, generally speaking, there seems to be evidence of a moderate increase of cancer mortality down the social scale, an opinion which is based on the mortality data for cancer amongst males in England and Wales during the three years' period 1910-12. In view of the difference of opinion that still exists regarding the influence of social status on the incidence of cancer, it seemed desirable to ascertain if the cancer statistics for the city of Glasgow in other years supported the general inference that is likely to be drawn from the mortality-rates for the disease in the municipal wards for the year 1924. Unfortunately, the statistics relating to this disease that have been published and made available for Glasgow are not very suitable for such an investigation. No annual totals of deaths from cancer in the different wards of the city have been published for the years subsequent to 1913, and the sexes are not tabulated separately for the earlier years, where such figures are given. In an attempt to make the best use possible of the data that are available, the standardised death-rates from cancer amongst persons aged 25 years and upwards for the four years' period 1910-13, were calculated by the indirect method, i.e., by apply- ing the death-rates from cancer at the several ages for Glasgow as a whole to the populations at the corresponding ages in the respective wards and obtaining factors of correction for the crude mortality-rates. The cancer death-rates in the several age groups in the city of Glasgow for the two years 1911-12 were first applied to the populations at the corresponding ages in the municipal wards, but the standardised death-rates were re-estimated by using the deaths from cancer and the 208 Dr. M. Young?Variation in the Mortality from Cancer populations at the different ages that are tabulated by the Registrar-General for Scotland in his annual reports for the four years 1910, 1911, 1912, and 1913 for Glasgow as a whole, after making such an adjustment of the figures as appeared necessary. The standardised death-rates from cancer in the respective wards derived in this way showed little variation from those already determined. As definite fluctuations in the number of deaths from cancer in the different districts occurred from year to year, four years' statistics were taken to obtain more reliable averages. The figures for the municipal wards that were incorporated in the city at the extension of its boundaries in 1912 were only available for the year 1913; these wards are consequently not included in the analysis. The choice of appropriate measures of the general social status of the residents in the different wards presented some difficulty and was restricted by the kind of information available. There are no particulars for these districts regard- ing measures of social status that are sometimes used, such as the proportion of professional men in the community or the proportion of domestic servants in private families. Certain details exist, however, relating to the distribution of the population residing in the several wards in houses of different size, and the first two of the three measures of social status that have been selected are based on these data and are intimately related to one another. These measures of social condition in the several municipal wards are:? 1. The.average number of persons per room. 2. The percentage of the total population residing in three or more apartment houses. 3. The infantile mortality-rate. They can only be regarded as approximate criteria of social status, but, in general, it may be said that descent in social status is accompanied by increasing density of population and a smaller proportion of the population living in three or more apartment houses. It is also to some extent coincident with a general increase in the infantile mortality-rate.

  • Overview of Allocated Funding
    Overview of allocated funding A combined total of £979,625 has been awarded to 116 community groups and workplaces through the Cycling Friendly programme with a further £821,991 awarded to registered social landlords across Scotland for improvement facilities to promote walking and cycling. More than 90,000 people will benefit from the funding. Setting Number funded Amount funded People impacted Community groups 48 £536,737 Data not collected Employers 68 £442,888 27,500 Social housing 33 £821,991 62,119 providers Total 149 £1,801,616 89,619 Kath Brough, Head of Behaviour Change at Cycling Scotland said: “We’re delighted to announce funding to 149 organisations across Scotland to encourage more people to cycle. Cycling Scotland work closely with partners to help employers, community groups and housing associations take advantage of the benefits of cycling and this round of funding will provide opportunity for over 90,000 people across Scotland to access improved cycling facilities.” Elderbank Housing Association, based in Govan, Glasgow, will receive £25,000 to install cycle parking for the 2,700 residents living across their properties, where currently there is no cycle parking. Jim Fraser, Estate Management Inspector, said “lack of storage has been a key issue for residents, especially those in older tenement buildings, so installing bike parking will remove a significant barrier to the uptake in bike ownership and cycling as a healthy activity. Govan is well established as an area of high deprivation and residents can often be found to have low household income and higher levels of household debt. This can impact greatly on people’s ability to access public transport beyond a limited geographical area and frequency due to a lack of sufficient finance.

  • Dr Anne Mullen, Chair, Deep End Group Scotland
    SSC/S5/19/BTU/57 SOCIAL SECURTIY COMMITTEE BENEFIT TAKE-UP SUBMISSION FROM: DR ANNE MULLEN, CHAIR, DEEP END GROUP SCOTLAND DEEP END MONEY ADVICE PROJECT BACKGROUND For 2014/15, Glasgow Calton was judged to be the worst affected ward in the UK by welfare reform; an estimated £880 a year per working age adult was to be removed from the local economy, largely due to changes in incapacity benefits1. Since then, the four year benefit freeze has reduced the real-terms value of most working-age benefits, and the two- child limit has denied entitlement to thousands of families. THE PROJECT Since December 2015, the Deep End Money Advice Project has gradually embedded the delivery of money advice in 17 Deep End GP Practices in North East Glasgow. Deep End Practices serve the most socio-economically deprived populations in Scotland. The majority of the Practices in the Project are in the Glasgow Calton ward. GEMAP Scotland Ltd. Money Advisors are embedded in Practices in three GP clusters (Parkhead, Bridgeton and Dennistoun) for half a day per Practice per week. Advisors can access patient medical records (with consent) to assist completion of high quality benefit applications / reviews / appeals thus reducing the risk of vulnerable people spending unnecessary, and potentially stressful, time in the system. Typically, money issues raised by patients in GP Practices are more complex than in other settings2. GOVERNANCE The project is managed by the North East Health Improvement Team (Glasgow HSCP) and overseen by an Advisory Group which includes two GPs and representation from the Scottish Deep End Project, Clyde Gateway, Glasgow Centre for Population Health and GEMAP Scotland Ltd.

  • The Fallen of Bridgeton Calton, Camlachie, Dalmarnock & Mile-End
    The Fallen of Bridgeton Calton, Camlachie, Dalmarnock & Mile-End In The Great War 1914-18 Transcribed and Researched by Bob Currie Bridgeton Library Local History Group Roll of Honour of The Fallen of Bridgeton, Calton, Camlachie, Dalmarnock & Mile-End In The Great War 1914-18 Transcribed and researched by Bob Currie (Bridgeton Library Local History Group) Preface This list of names of The Fallen of Glasgow’s East-end records some of the millions of victims of the bloodiest wars in world history. The names, extracted from ‘The City of Glasgow Roll of Honour of The Great War’ (1922) compiled by the late Kevin O’Neil, were subsequently checked against the CWGC site for date of death, grave reference and/or memorial panel reference and next of kin. Any errors or omissions are entirely mine. I need only add that I set myself an enormous task in extracting this list of names from the 18,000 recorded on The City of Glasgow Roll of Honour (1922). In striving for accuracy I have done my best. Having been born and bred in Bridgeton I was familiar with the street names and I must say I found it a poignant exercise one way and another, having walked many of those familiar streets in the distant past. Moreover, in remembering an Uncle, likewise raised in Bridgeton, who died at St. Julian during the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915, the list became my personal tribute to the Fallen Heroes of Glasgow’s East-end. Their gallantry is commemorated in this Casualty List of names of sons, husbands’ fathers and brothers in localised clusters of death.
