Trends in Systemic Inflammation and Its Relation to Socioeconomic Status in US Adults, 1971–2018
Systemic inflammation occurs when the immune system is chronically active due to repeated harmful exposures or dysregulation of the immune process. It is associated with the prevalence and poorer prognoses of many chronic diseases. Like many health indicators, its burden is often found to be greater in those of lower socioeconomic status. Little is known about how levels of systemic inflammation have changed over time in populations, nor how such…
Height and cognitive assessments in a cohort of US schoolchildren, kindergarten through fifth grade
An oft-repeated finding in child development research is that height and cognitive ability are positively related. Much of this work is limited in its ability to track height and cognitive development over time, with key constraints being the availability of longitudinal data and measures of ability that are comparable over time. This study evaluates the associations between height and assessments of reading, math, and science in a representative…
Height, wealth, and schooling outcomes in young women from lower- and middle-income countries
This study evaluates a large (N > 366,000) sample of young women (15-18 years) from 64 lower- and middle-income countries for associations between height, household wealth, and schooling outcomes, with a focus on secondary school attendance. A pooled sample and regional samples (Latin America, South/Southeast Asia, East Africa, and West Africa) are evaluated. A dual purpose is to evaluate both associations between height and schooling, and potent…
Is height related to fertility? An evaluation of women from low‐ and middle‐income countries
OBJECTIVES: To present an empirical description of the association between height and lifetime fertility in women from low- and middle-income countries, allowing for flexible functional relationships. METHODS: A pooled sample (N = 846 257) of women ages 35-49 in Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) from 64 countries, with regional samples for Latin America, South Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. Flexibly-estimated structured additive regression mode…
