Education-related inequality in overweight and obesity among Mongolian adults
The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity is a serious public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, closely linked to socioeconomic status, with significant disparities observed across different socioeconomic groups. However, the association between socioeconomic status and overweight or obesity has been less studied in Mongolia. The aim of this study was to examine socioeconomic inequality in overweight and obesity among …
Parental health, adolescents’ mental distress and non-cognitive skills
A model of errors in BMI based on self-reported and measured anthropometrics with evidence from Brazilian data
Perceived stress and hair cortisol concentration in a study of Mexican and Icelandic women
Hair cortisol concentration (HCC) represent a potential biomarker of chronic psychological stress. Previous studies exploring the association between perceived stress and HCC have been limited to relatively small and selected populations. We collected hair samples from 881 women from the Mexican Teachers’ Cohort (MTC) and 398 women from the Icelandic SAGA pilot-cohort following identical protocols. HCC was quantified using liquid chromatography c…
Is inconsistent reporting of self-assessed health persistent and systematic? Evidence from the UKHLS
Pay (for it) as you go: Prepaid energy meters and the heat-or-eat dilemma
The "heat-or-eat" dilemma, a trade-off typically between food consumption and heating, may elevate public health concerns during the 2022 energy-price crisis. Our paper contributes to the literature by exploring the role of domestic energy prepayment meters (PPMs) in the heat-or-eat dilemma, focusing on the association between PPM use and fruit and vegetable consumption. Using a representative sample of 24,811 individuals residing in Great Britai…
Do socioeconomic health gradients persist over time and beyond income? A distributional analysis using UK biomarker data
Biomarkers, disability and health care demand
Regional inequalities in adiposity in England: Distributional analysis of the contribution of individual-level characteristics and the small area obesogenic environment
Biomarkers as precursors of disability
Some social surveys now collect physical measurements and markers derived from biological samples, in addition to self-reported health assessments. This information is expensive to collect; its value in medical epidemiology has been clearly established, but its potential contribution to social science research is less certain. We focused on disability, which results from biological processes but is defined in terms of its implications for social …
Alternative measures to BMI: Exploring income-related inequalities in adiposity in Great Britain
Socio-economic inequalities in adiposity are of particular interest themselves but also because they may be associated with inequalities in overall health status. Using cross-sectional representative data from Great Britain (1/2010-3/2012) for 13,138 adults (5652 males and 7486 females) over age 20, we aimed to explore the presence of income-related inequalities in alternative adiposity measures by gender and to identify the underlying factors co…
