    Some13–16 but not all25 previous UK-based studies have observed social gradients in IID-related hospital admissions. The majority of these studies have focused on paediatric populations13,15,25 or those of all ages combined,16 and only one has investigated inequalities in IID admissions amongst adults specifically.14 This previous study, conducted using data from 1990 to 95, included admissions where IID was recorded as a primary or secondary diagnosis, and found inequalities in admission rates between the most and least deprived neighbourhoods for both children and adults in the West Midlands region of England.14

    Interestingly, our findings show that supermarkets and hypermarkets are significantly more likely to have better hygiene practices than smaller convenience stores such as newsagents, which further increases food safety risk for deprived populations and those who may not be able to shop outside their immediate locality. Furthermore, although studies are limited, there is evidence to suggest that populations with low SES are also more likely to suffer from foodborne illness (Bytzer et al., 2001; Gillespie et al., 2010; Olowokure et al., 1999). Again, although SES and deprivation are not entirely comparable they often coexist geographically, therefore this supports our findings that small convenience stores and food establishments in deprived areas are less likely to meet regulations.
