We also found asthma disparities widened over time and seemed to emerge in late adolescence / early adulthood
We're excited to announce CLS will lead the first new nationally representative UK-wide birth cohort study in 25 years. Generation New Era will follow the lives of more than 30,000 babies born in 2026, during their early years, and potentially beyond. Read more: bit.ly/4gfttBP

Blog from me and my wonderful colleague Dr Charis Bridger Staatz!
We found bisexuals and LGBTQ+ women had the greatest disparities in asthma compared to their heterosexual counterparts
We used brilliant data from @clscohorts.bsky.social, @usociety.bsky.social, and @elsa-study.bsky.social which allowed us to look in detail at asthma in LGBTQ+ people in the UK
Lung function was also poorer in LGBTQ+ respondents - this study is one of the first to look at this objective measure of lung health in UK LGBTQ+ people
