Description
Sandeepa Arora and colleagues compare health and social care outcomes by household size for children in Northwest London in a 2026 study. Linked records from 2005 to 2024 covered 477,602 children aged up to 18 years. Small homes held one or two children, while larger homes held three or more.
Raw rates showed larger-home children had more tooth removals, breathing admissions, and child-in-need status, but fewer emergency visits and antidepressant scripts. Adjusted models kept higher odds for tooth removal and child-in-need status per added child, with lower odds for scripts and visits. Household size marks clear inequality patterns that policy should weigh, the authors conclude.
