A multilevel school-based intervention on sedentary time in children
Background Children’s sedentary behavior is a major public health priority. While school-based programs are common, research must explore more effective approaches using robust theoretical frameworks. The CIPRES cluster-randomized controlled trial evaluated a 6-week multi-component school-based intervention combining the Socio-Ecological perspective and Trans-Contextual Model to reduce children’s sedentary time (ST) and increase moderate-to-vigor…
Intersectional parental health inequities one year after childbirth
Social inequities in health are shaped by interlocking systems of oppression that differentially structure experiences across populations and over the life-course. This study examines intersectional inequities in parental health one-year post-birth, focusing on the articulation of race/ethnicity, sex/gender, and social class. Using data from a French population-based birth study, Elfe cohort, we applied intersectional multilevel analysis (I-MAIHD…
The influence of locus of control, coping strategies and time perspective on post-traumatic growth in survivors with primary breast cancer
PTG may be increased in BCSs by acting on its modifiable factors. This includes adopting healthy behaviours, such as increasing physical activity and stopping/reducing alcohol consumption, and developing locus of control elements, such as powerful others, and coping strategies, such as positive thinking and seeking social support, through targeted interventions. Further studies, especially longitudinal studies, are needed to confirm the observed …
Contribution of Structure Learning Algorithms in Social Epidemiology
Epidemiologists often handle large datasets with numerous variables and are currently seeing a growing wealth of techniques for data analysis, such as machine learning. Critical aspects involve addressing causality, often based on observational data, and dealing with the complex relationships between variables to uncover the overall structure of variable interactions, causal or not. Structure learning (SL) methods aim to automatically or semi-aut…
Social integration and mortality across the life course
Our study consolidates evidence on the relationship between social integration and mortality risk, especially in mid-adulthood, and suggests some potential underlying pathways. To reduce mortality risk inequalities, we encourage structurally addressing social marginalization

Trends and social inequalities in self-reported health and activity limitations in France between 2017 and 2021
The previously observed deterioration of the SRH and GALI continued in France between 2017 and 2021, with narrowing socio-territorial gradients of inequalities. The impact of successive social and health crises on the poor evolution of self-reported health and activity limitations warrants further investigation over time and across locations using complementary and possibly more detailed indicators
General practitioners may improve cervical screening equality in France
Involvement of General Practitioners may improve cervical screening equality in France. The organisation of health systems around primary care may allow a better access to care and to account for the specific needs of deprived populations
Effectiveness of multilevel interventions based on socio-ecological model to decrease sedentary time in children
Violences conjugales
Dans le contexte sociopolitique actuel, la petite enfance semble au cœur du débat public, au centre de l’action publique de réduction des inégalités sociales et de promotion de l’égalité des chances. Il en est de même pour ce qui concerne la problématique des violences conjugales depuis le Grenelle, lancé en 2019, contre les violences faites aux femmes. Pour autant, les auteurs rappellent, avec force, la nécessité de prendre en compte la grossess…
Health inequalities in cause-specific mortality in Costa Rica
OBJECTIVE: To analyze health inequalities in cause-specific mortality in Costa Rica from 2010 to 2018, observing the main causes for inequality in the country. METHODS: The National Electoral Rolls were used to follow-up all Costa Rican adults aged 20 years or older from 2010 to 2018 (n = 2,739,733) in an ecological study. A parametric survival model based on the Gompertz distribution was performed and the event death was classified according to …
The level of education is associated with an anxiety-depressive state among men and women – findings from France during the first quarter of the Covid-19 pandemic
In France, at the end of the first wave of COVID-19, individuals with a lower level of education had a higher risk of anxiety-depressive state. This association was more pronounced for women, highlighting a process of social inequality in health possibly related to gender. This should be considered in future prevention and public health interventions
Precision and personalized medicine
The US National Human Genome Research Institute defines precision medicine as follows: "Precision medicine (generally considered analogous to personalized medicine or individualized medicine) is an innovative approach that uses information about an individual's genomic, environmental, and lifestyle information to guide decisions related to their medical management. The goal of precision medicine is to provide a more precise approach for the preve…
AI, Epidemiology and Public Health in the Covid Pandemic
Health Impacts of the Covid-19 Lockdown Measure in a Low Socio-Economic Setting
In March 2020, the French government implemented nation-wide measures to reduce social contact and slow the progression of the emerging coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, the most significant being a complete home lockdown that lasted 8 weeks. Reunion Island is a French overseas department marked by large social inequalities. We draw the hypothesis that distancing and lockdown measures may have contributed to an increase in the social inequali…
Falling down the rabbit hole? Methodological, conceptual and policy issues in current health inequalities research
Persistent health inequalities pose a challenge to researchers and policymakers. Decades of research have illuminated mechanisms that underlie health inequalities, now we must move beyond these observations to enable policies that can reduce them. In this paper, we highlight tensions in the field of health inequalities research regarding the relationship between social determinants and health outcomes, and the effectiveness of welfare policies. W…
Towards a Political Sociology of Social Health Inequalities
In late 2021, in issue 3 of the Revue française des affaires sociales, Jean-Charles Basson, Nadine Haschar-Noé and Marina Honta devoted a dossier to "The Production of Social Health Inequalities" in which they emphasised the social construction of health inequalities, the undermining of the legitimate access to health-related rights and healthcare use, and lastly the political production of health. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the authors r…

Framework for understanding health inequalities over the life course
Understanding how structural, social and psychosocial factors come to affect our health resulting in health inequalities is more relevant now than ever as trends in mortality gaps between rich and poor appear to have widened over the past decades. To move beyond description, we need to hypothesise about how structural and social factors may cause health outcomes. In this paper, we examine the construction of health over the life course through th…
Social protection expenditure on health in later life in 20 European countries
Higher social spending reduces life-course socioeconomic inequalities in women's subjective health and in men's and women's objective health. However, some specific social protection policies may have the unintentional effect of increasing inequalities in people's evaluation of their own health
Special Report
Funded by the European Commission Horizon2020 programme, the Lifepath research consortium aimed to understand the impacts of socioeconomic inequalities on the biology of healthy ageing. The main research questions included the impact of inequalities on health, the role of behavioural and other risk factors, the underlying biological mechanisms, the efficacy of selected policies, and the general implications of our findings for theories and polici…
Effect of an Appearance-Based vs. a Health-Based Sun-Protective Intervention on French Summer Tourists' Behaviors in a Cluster Randomized Crossover Trial
Background Sun exposure has short-and long-term adverse effects on eyes, skin and the immune system. The most serious effect, melanoma, is largely attributable to natural ultraviolet radiation. Its prevalence is steadily increasing in fair-skinned populations in most European countries. Despite annual prevention campaigns, the French population continues to be overexposed to the sun and under-protected. Social and psychosocial characteristics may…
Importance of collecting data on socioeconomic determinants from the early stage of the Covid-19 outbreak onwards
Disadvantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) is widely associated with disease and mortality, and there is no reason to think this will not be the case for the newly emerged coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that has reached a pandemic level. Individuals with a more disadvantaged SEP are more likely to be affected by most of the known risk factors of COVID-19. SEP has been previously established as a potential determinant of infectious diseases i…
A Critique of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Framework in Epidemiology and Public Health
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have emerged as a major research theme. They make reference to an array of potentially harmful exposures occurring from birth to eighteen years of age and may be involved in the construction of health inequalities over the lifecourse. As with many simplified concepts, ACEs present limitations. They include diverse types of exposures, are often considered cumulatively, can be identified using prospective and re…
Using self-rated health for analysing social inequalities in health
BACKGROUND: The use of self-rated health (SRH) for measuring health inequalities could present some limits. The impact of the same disease on SRH could be different according to health expectations people have which are associated with social characteristics. The aim of this study was to analyse the link between physical health status and SRH, according to level of education. METHOD: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey …
Mediating pathways between parental socio-economic position and allostatic load in mid-life
Impact of the Covid-19 crisis on the mortality profiles of the foreign-born in France during the first pandemic wave
Development of a cross-cultural deprivation index in five European countries
BACKGROUND: Despite a concerted policy effort in Europe, social inequalities in health are a persistent problem. Developing a standardised measure of socioeconomic level across Europe will improve the understanding of the underlying mechanisms and causes of inequalities. This will facilitate developing, implementing and assessing new and more effective policies, and will improve the comparability and reproducibility of health inequality studies a…
Construction of an adaptable European transnational ecological deprivation index
BACKGROUND: Studying social disparities in health implies the ability to measure them accurately, to compare them between different areas or countries and to follow trends over time. This study proposes a method for constructing a French European deprivation index, which will be replicable in several European countries and is related to an individual deprivation indicator constructed from a European survey specifically designed to study deprivati…

Early-life inequalities and biological ageing
Social position is known to play a role in the quality of ageing, notably through the stimulation/dysregulation of key physiological systems in response to external stresses. Using data from one wave of Understanding Society including 9088 participants, we defined, as an extension of the allostatic load, a synthetic Biological Health Score (BHS) capturing the wear-and-tear of four physiological systems (endocrine, inflammatory, cardiovascular and…

Linking hospital workers' organisational work environment to depressive symptoms
Do general practitioners overestimate the health of their patients with lower education
SRH and HrQOL
Both SRH and HRQoL were lower among those reporting functional limitations or chronic low back pain. However, the change varied according SEP and the measure. In relative term, the negative impact of a given health condition seems to be greater on SRH and lower on HRQoL for people with higher SEP in comparison with people with low SEP. Using SRH could thus decrease socioeconomic differences. In contrast using HRQoL could increase these difference…

Childhood adversity as a risk for cancer
These findings suggest that cancer risk may be influenced by exposure to stressful conditions and events early on in life. This is potentially important in furthering our understanding of cancer aetiology, and consequently in redirecting scientific research and developing appropriate prevention policies
Incidences and risk factors of first-line Haart discontinuation
To evaluate the incidence and risk factors of first-highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) modifications/interruptions and their causes in a cohort of newly-treated patients by using a competing risk model. In nine centers of the French cohort Dat'AIDS, in 1 year and 2 years of censorship, a competing risk analysis was implemented in HIV1 patients aged 18 years or older first-treated between September 2002 and March 2012. In 4669 patients, …
Associations Between Life Contexts and Early Sexual Initiation Among Young Women in France
Although early sexual initiation in France was essentially linked to individual-level variables, further research is needed to understand its relationship with neighborhood characteristics. Such studies should include additional environmental variables, test new hypotheses and employ a longitudinal approach
Evaluation d’impact sur la santé et évaluation d’impact sur l’équité en santé
L'Evaluation d'Impact sur la Santé (EIS) se développe au niveau international et est encore au stade émergent en France. Elle vise à évaluer les effets positifs et négatifs potentiels d'un projet, d'un programme ou d'une politique sur la santé. L'objectif est de produire des recommandations en direction des décideurs, afin d'en maximiser les effets positifs et d'en diminuer les effets négatifs. L'EIS est un moyen particulièrement intéressant d'ac…
Population awareness of risks related to medicinal product use in Vientiane Capital, Lao PDR
Overall, these results suggest a lack of awareness about medicinal product risks. Differences according to the place of residence are apparent and could be partly explained by a lower level of training of healthcare providers in contact with the population in the rural districts in particular. Communication on medicinal product risks to patients through well-trained healthcare providers could probably make a valuable contribution towards the appr…
The early life nutritional environment and early life stress as potential pathways towards the metabolic syndrome in mid-life? A lifecourse analysis using the 1958 British Birth cohort
The early nutritional environment, represented by mother's pre-pregnancy BMI, was associated with the risk of MetS in midlife. An important mechanism involves a mother-to-child BMI transmission, independent of birth or perinatal conditions, socioeconomic characteristics and health behaviors over the lifecourse. However this mechanism is not sufficient for explaining the influence of mother's pre-pregnancy BMI which implies the need to further exp…

Setting E3N, a French prospective cohort study composed of women recruited from a national health insura…
Big Data and the Study of Social Inequalities in Health
Understanding the construction of the social gradient in health is a major challenge in the field of social epidemiology, a branch of epidemiology that seeks to understand how society and its different forms of organization influence health at a population level. Attempting to answer these questions involves large datasets of varied heterogeneous data suggesting that Big Data approaches could be then particularly relevant to the study of social i…
Socio-economic factors associated with an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption
Objective To identify individual and contextual socio-economic factors associated with an increase in fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption over a 12-year period and evaluate if some socio-economic factors were differentially associated with the change in consumption of some types of F&V. Design Associations between increased F&V consumption and socio-economic factors were studied with multivariate logistic regression. Setting E3N, a French prosp…
Utilisation des réseaux bayésiens comme technique de fouille de données massives - application à des données de recours aux soins
Contexte. Les réseaux bayésiens sont utilisés selon deux approches distinctes, reposant sur les mêmes principes d'analyse bayésienne : comme outil de modélisation a priori faisant intervenir les hypothèses du chercheur, ou comme outil de fouille de données, sans hypothèse a priori de la part du chercheur. La première approche a diffusé dans la communauté biomédicale. La seconde provient avant tout de l'intelligence artificielle et n'est à notre c…
