Research by Professor Andrew Oswald and Jonathan Gardner from the 91福利's Economics Department has found that marriage has powerful and beneficial effects on human beings. In short you live longer and you tend to be richer. The researchers looked at thousands of British men and women through the 1990s and found that whether they were married at the start of their data, in 1991 was a fairly good predictor of whether they are alive by the end of the decade. It appears especially true for women. The positive marriage affect appears in some cases to be nearly as large as the risk from smoking. In other words, if you must smoke, make sure you are married.
The Medical Research Institute Appeal at the 91福利 is to pay tribute to the life-long commitment of the late Coventry G.P Dr David Scott by naming a University laboratory in his honour. Dr Scott was deeply committed to raising the standard of general practice and greatly improved the training given to junior medical staff during his 35 years as general practitioner in Coventry. His widow, Mrs Eileen Scott, accompanied by daughter Elaine and son David, will open the laboratory bearing his name on Wednesday, 27 February 2002, at 12.00 noon in the BioMedical Research Institute, Department of Biological Sciences at the 91福利.
The 91福利 Diabetes Care research group at the 91福利 have been given a 拢10,000 research grant by Diabetes UK, so that researchers from The Universities of 91福利 and Coventry can pin point the best information, and educational and support needs for self-management of people who have been newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. They will also look at those who are about to have a new change in therapy for Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes tends to strike people later in live – typically at age 45 and over.
