Waterpipe Use among Adolescents in Germany
Waterpipe (WP) use is popular among youth worldwide, but epidemiological data from Germany are scarce. We aimed to describe prevalence rates of WP use (current, last 12 months, ever) and analysed correlates and trends among 11- to 17-year-olds in Germany. Analyses were based on data from the "German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents" study during 2014-2017 ( n = 6599). Changes in WP use prevalence compared with …
Intergenerational Educational Pathways and Self-Rated Health in Adolescence and Young Adulthood
Health differences in social mobility are often analysed by income differences or different occupational positions. However, in early adulthood many young people still have very diffuse income situations and are not always fully integrated into the labour market despite many having finished school. This article focusses on the link between intergenerational educational pathways and self-rated health (SRH) among young adults considering their SRH …
Changing educational inequalities in sporting inactivity among adults in Germany
The findings suggest that the gap in sports participation between adults with high and low educational attainment has widened in both absolute and relative terms because of an increase in sports participation among the better educated. Health-enhancing physical activity interventions specifically targeted to less-educated younger adults are needed to prevent future increases in social inequalities in health
Social disparities in parental smoking and young children’s exposure to secondhand smoke at home
The results of the KiGGS study show that the proportion of children in Germany who are exposed to SHS at home has declined significantly over the last few years. There is much to suggest that the smoke-free legislation that has been introduced in Germany has led to a heightened awareness of the health risks of SHS both in public and in the private sphere, as well as to a denormalization of smoking. Children whose parents smoke, and among them par…
Educational Differences in Smoking among Adolescents in Germany
Our results show that the risk of an adolescent smoking is influenced by their own education level rather than that of their parents. Educational upward mobility seems to be protective against becoming a smoker in youth. Boys who experience downward mobility tend to have a significantly higher inclination to smoke than their peers with a stable high education. These findings illustrate the potential public health benefits of investments in educat…

Gesundheitliche Ungleichheit
Im Rahmen der Gesundheitsberichterstattung werden neben den bekannten statistischen Maßen der deskriptiven Statistik, wie z. B. relative Häufigkeiten und Mittelwerte, auch so genannte altersadjustierte Odds Ratios ausgewiesen. Diese werden zumeist durch binär logistische Regressionen ermittelt und geben an, um welchen Faktor das Risiko eines Gesundheitsproblems oder -ereignisses in der betrachteten Gruppe im Verhältnis zu einer definierten Refere…
