Homeless participants were substantially more likely than housed participants in the most deprived quintile to report all diseases except diabetes (which had similar prevalence in homeless participants and the most deprived housed group). For example, the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was 1.1% (95% CI 0.7% to 1.6%) in the least deprived housed quintile; 2.0% (95% CI 1.5% to 2.6%) in the most deprived housed quintile; and 14.0% (95% CI 12.2% to 16.0%) in the homeless group. Social gradients were also seen for problems in each EQ-5D-3L domain in the housed population, but homeless participants had similar likelihood of reporting problems as the most deprived housed group. The exception was problems related to anxiety, which were substantially more common in homeless people than any of the housed groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While differences in health between housed socioeconomic groups can be described as a \u2018slope\u2019, differences in health between housed and homeless people are better understood as a \u2018cliff\u2019.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-025192","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,25]],"date-time":"2019-04-25T06:09:08Z","timestamp":1556172548000},"page":"e025192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":141,"title":["Health-related quality of life and prevalence of six chronic diseases in homeless and housed people: a cross-sectional study in London and Birmingham, England"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3698-7196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dan","family":"Lewer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Healthcare, University College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Institute of Health Informatics, University College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Collaborative Centre for Inclusion Health, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0542-0816","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert W","family":"Aldridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Informatics, University College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Collaborative Centre for Inclusion Health, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dee","family":"Menezes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Informatics, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clare","family":"Sawyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Find & Treat, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3036-0499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paola","family":"Zaninotto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Healthcare, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Dedicoat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Imtiaz","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiritory Medicine, Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serena","family":"Luchenski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Healthcare, University College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Institute of Health Informatics, University College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Collaborative Centre for Inclusion Health, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Hayward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Epidemiology and Healthcare, University College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Collaborative Centre for Inclusion Health, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alistair","family":"Story","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collaborative Centre for Inclusion Health, University College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Find & Treat, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121223310314000_9.4.e025192.1","unstructured":"Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
