The effect of housing on the mental health of older people: the impact of lifetime housing history in Whitehall II
Self-reported mental health generally improves by early old age, but social class differences in anxiety and depression increase with age. In this UK study, social inequalities in both self-reported mental health and general health increased in early old age, as the rate of improvement in mental health was less for those in the lower employment grades.

Pathways into adult homelessness
This article uses information from a large administrative database to outline five ideal typical pathways into adult homelessness.
