  • Mother–infant interactive processes and infant behavioral and vagal stress recovery

    Open AccessYannan Hu, Xiaomei Li et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2025

    Mother-infant interactive processes, including matching social behaviors and repairing interactive ruptures, are proposed to foster infant stress functioning. However, little is known about the extent to which the concurrent relations between these dyadic processes and infant behavioral and vagal stress recovery change over the first year of life. In this study, 116 mother-infant dyads (55 girls) from a midwestern city in the United States comple…

    Significance Inequalities in mortality and morbidity among socioeconomic groups are a highly persistent phenomenon despite having been the focus of public health policy in many countries. The United States has recently witnessed a widening of health inequalities due to rising mortality and morbidity among the lowly educated.

  • The impact of increasing income inequalities on educational inequalities in mortality - An analysis of six European countries

    We find no support for the hypothesis that increasing income inequality explains increasing health inequalities. Possible explanations are that other factors are more important mediators of the effect of education on health, or more simply that income is not an important determinant of mortality in this European context of high-income countries. This study contributes to the discussion on income inequality as entry point to tackle health inequali…

  • Did the English strategy reduce inequalities in health? A difference-in-difference analysis comparing England with three other European countries

    Open AccessYannan Hu, Frank J Van Lenthe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    In this rigorous analysis comparing trends in health inequalities in England both over time and between countries, we could not detect a favourable effect of the English strategy. Our analysis illustrates the usefulness of a modified difference-in-difference approach for assessing the impact of policies on population-level health inequalities

  • Trends in socioeconomic inequalities in self-assessed health in 17 European countries between 1990 and 2010

    Yannan Hu, Frank J Van Lenthe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2016Cited by: 12References: 37

    BACKGROUND: Between the 1990s and 2000s, relative inequalities in all-cause mortality increased, whereas absolute inequalities decreased in many European countries. Whether similar trends can be observed for inequalities in other health outcomes is unknown. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of trends in socioeconomic inequalities in self-assessed health (SAH) in Europe between 1990 and 2010. METHODS: Data were obtained from nati…
