Residential mobility in childhood and health outcomes
Sudden unexpected death in infancy and socioeconomic status
This paper aimed to systematically review observational studies documenting the relation between sudden unexpected death in infancy and socioeconomic status. A search of two electronic databases (Medline 1966 to November 2002; Embase 1981 to November 2002) yielded 52 case-control or cohort studies meeting the inclusion criteria. An increased risk of sudden unexpected death in infancy was reported in 51 studies and 32 of 33 studies reporting grade…
Effect of work related variables on growth among working boys in Jordan
Objective: To study the effect of work related variables on the height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) of working boys aged 10–16 years. Design: Cross sectional survey. Setting: Irbid, Jarash, and North Jordan Valley in Jordan. Participants: 135 working boys aged 10–16 years and their mothers. Outcome measures: Height for age z score; weight for age z score; BMI for age z score. Results: In bivariate analysis, child's duration of work ( r =−0.…
Social influences on birth weight
irth weight, like growth, is determined by the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. The proportional contribution of these influences is unclear. However, birth weight varies within genetically similar populations, 1-3 suggesting that environmental factors play a significant role. Secular changes in birth weight 4 also suggest an environmental influence. Birth weight also shows a reverse social gradient such that increasing dis…
Socioeconomic status and birth weight
OBJECTIVE: To compare the relation of birth weight with socioeconomic status measured by an area-based measure of material deprivation and by the Registrar General's social class. SETTING: West Midlands Health Region 1991-93. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHOD: Birthweight data by enumeration district deciles ranked by Townsend Deprivation Index based on 1991 census data for all live births in the West Midlands Health Region were st…
The Madra Çay Delta Archaeological Project, First Preliminary Report
In 1995 a new series of multi-disciplinary investigations were initiated by the authors into diachronic human occupation of the coastal plain at Altınova, between Ayvalık and Dikili on the Aegean coast of northwest Turkey (Fig. 1). Altınova lies approximately halfway between the much better-known (and certainly more intensively investigated) archaeological regions of Troy to the north and Bayraklı/Izmir to the south (Fig. 1). Through the plain fl…
