Published 28 June 2020 There has been an abundance of research discussing the health implications of generalised trust and happiness over the past two decades. Both attitudes have been touted as independent predictors of morbidity and mortality, with strikingly similar trajectories and biological pathways being hypothesised.

Published 3 July 2020 While acute dizziness often is associated with vestibular deficits or of central nervous system (CNS) origin, the etiology of longstanding complaints of dizziness often cannot sufficiently be explained by such pathology alone.

Published 3 July 2020 Across today’s developed world, there is a clear mortality gradient by socioeconomic status for all ages. It is often taken for granted that this gradient was as strong—or even stronger—in the past when social transfers were rudimentary and health care systems were less developed.
