Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mental illness and socioeconomic factors such as education, age and gender among drug users. Descriptive and ANOVA analysis were performed to 68 structured interviews (Addiction Severity Index basic). Analysis addressed associations between drug usage and level of education, age and gender. Results showed gender differences in self-rated mental health with women drug users rating their mental health lower than men. In addition, there was no association between age, educational level and self-rated mental health. Further stud

Abstract:

The mechanisms by which life course socioeconomic position (SEP) may influence cardiovascular disease (CVD) are not well explored. Objectives were to investigate the association between cumulative life course SEP and an indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis: ankle-brachial index (ABI). Participants (n=1454) were from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. Cumulative SEP was calculated by summing scores for childhood SEP (father's education), early adulthood SEP (own education), and active professional life SEP (own occupation). ABI was dichotomized as low (≤1.1) and

Abstract:

Early-life socioeconomic position (SEP) contributes to disease risk in adults, however, there is mixed evidence for the role of early-life SEP in adult depression. Using logistic regression analysis we explore whether parents' education influences the risk for major depressive episode (MDE) independent of other early-life and adult risk factors. Data are from the first seven waves of the Canadian National Population Health Survey (1994/95 to 2006/07), and include 1,267 participants that were aged 12 to 24 at wave one. Father's education has no effect. Respondents of mothers with less than seco

Part of the reason that lower socioeconomic groups have poorer diets may be their consumption of takeaway foods. These foods typically have nutrient contents that fail to comply with the

Abstract:

Background Patients who experience a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at high risk of recurrent stroke, but little is known about temporal trends in unselected populations. Reports of low adherence to recommended treatments indicate a need for enhanced secondary preventive follow-up to achieve the full potential of evidence-based treatments. In addition, socioeconomic factors have been associated with poor health outcomes in a variety of contexts. Therefore, it is important to assess the implementation and results of secondary prevention in different socioeconomic groups. Aims The

Abstract:

Background: Infancy is one of the most critical periods of human development, yet developmental delay during this period is a condition largely undiagnosed and uncared for. In addition, the life course importance of infant development to adult socio-economic position has yet to be examined. Aims and objectives: To perform a life course study of infant developmental delay to: further the understanding of the pre- and perinatal factors which influence it (Objective I), evaluate the potential of utilising available information during the pre- and perinatal period to improve identification of infa

Abstract:

Cognitive function has been associated with many physical and mental health conditions, as well as mortality. Cognitive decline is one aspect of ageing that causes anxiety among the general population. Understanding the risk factors which affect cognitive function over the life course is therefore important. One potential risk factor is socioeconomic position (SEP). This thesis investigates the impact of SEP across the life course on crystallized cognitive function and memory decline. The 1946 British birth cohort study and Whitehall II study of British civil servants were used for these analy

Abstract:

Fat and lean mass have important implications for adult health and physical functioning, but few studies have examined their determinants. This thesis used a life course perspective to examine how explanatory factors across life relate to adult measures of fat and lean mass. The MRC National Survey of Health and Development was used—a British birth cohort study originally comprised of 5362 babies born in March 1946. At 60–64 years, 746 males and 812 females had fat and lean mass measures taken using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Linear regression was used to examine associations between pr

Abstract:

With the increasing prevalence of obesity and the increasing proportion of older adults, type 2 diabetes (T2D) is becoming a massive public health problem. T2D is associated with socioeconomic position (SEP) where individuals from lower SEP suffer a disproportionate burden of the disease and older adults may be particularly vulnerable to experiencing socioeconomic inequalities. Furthermore, T2O complications can cause vast increases in the expenditure of healthcare services and possibly detrimental effects on an individual’s health. During this thesis the effect of SEP on the incidence of T2D

Abstract:

In developed countries the relationship between socioeconomic position (SEP) and health is unequivocal. Those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged are known to experience higher morbidity and mortality from a range of chronic diet-related conditions compared to those of higher SEP. Socioeconomic inequalities in diet are well established. Compared to their more advantaged counterparts, those of low SEP are consistently found to consume diets less consistent with dietary guidelines (i.e. higher in fat, salt and sugar and lower in fibre, fruit and vegetables). Although the reasons for dietary

Abstract:

Empirical studies have shown that single-parent families have been overrepresented in disadvantaged neighborhoods, and the children of these families are more exposed to factors that lead to aggressive behavior. Despite these studies, there is limited literature on the parenting of immigrant mothers that may prevent aggressive behaviors in children. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experiences of single Southern African immigrant mothers in low socioeconomic neighborhoods in California working and raising male children who do not exhibit aggressive beha

Abstract:

Socioeconomic positions of individuals are clearly associated with the chances of living a healthy long life. In four empirical studies based on Swedish population registers, two topics are examined in this thesis: The relationships between different indicators of social position and mortality, and the importance of family members’ socioeconomic resources for the survival of the individual. The overall conclusion from the separate studies is that no single individual socioeconomic factor gives a complete picture of mortality inequalities. Further, the socioeconomic resources of partners and ad

The study had a comparative approach and two socioeconomically diverse areas in the Municipality of Växjö were studied. The study's empirical work consists of qualitative interviews with young adults from the residential areas Araby and Öjaby. The empirical data were analysed with the help of Erik H Erikson's theory of identity, Pierre Bourdieu's theory of social class and John L Scotsons and Norbert Elias's theory of es
