Patterning of educational attainment across inflammatory markers: Findings from...
Maurel, M; Castagné, R; Berger, E; Bochud, M; Chadeau-Hyam, M; Fraga, S; Gandini, M; Hutri-Kähönen, N; Jalkanen, S; Kivimäki, M; Marmot, M; McCrory, CBackground. Evidence suggests that the inflammatory reaction, an adaptive response triggered by a variety of harmful stimuli and conditions involved in the risk and development of many chronic diseases, is a potential pathway through which the socioeconomic environment is biologically embedded. Difficulty in interpreting the role of the inflammatory system in the embodiment dynamic arises because of heterogenei...
Mother's education and offspring asthma risk in 10 European cohort studies
Lewis, KM; Ruiz, M; Goldblatt, P; Morrison, J; Porta, D; Forastiere, F; Hryhorczuk, D; Zvinchuk, O; Saurel-Cubizolles, MJ; Lioret, S; Annesi-Maesano, IHighly prevalent and typically beginning in childhood, asthma is a burdensome disease, yet the risk factors for this condition are not clarified. To enhance understanding, this study assessed the cohort-specific and pooled risk of maternal education on asthma in children aged 3–8 across 10 European countries. Data on 47,099 children were obtained from prospective birth cohort studies across 10 European countrie...
Impact of Low Maternal Education on Early Childhood Overweight and Obesity in E...
Ruiz, M; Goldblatt, P; Morrison, J; Porta, D; Forastiere, F; Hryhorczuk, D; Antipkin, Y; Saurel-Cubizolles, MJ; Lioret, S; Vrijheid, M; Torrent, MBACKGROUND:Comparable evidence on adiposity inequalities in early life is lacking across a range of European countries. This study investigates whether low maternal education is associated with overweight and obesity risk in children from distinct European settings during early childhood. METHODS:Prospective data of 45 413 children from 11 European cohorts were used. Children's height and weight obtained at age...
Mother's education and the risk of preterm and small for gestational age birth:...
Ruiz, M; Goldblatt, P; Morrison, J; Kukla, L; Švancara, J; Riitta-Järvelin, M; Taanila, A; Saurel-Cubizolles, MJ; Lioret, S; Bakoula, C; Veltsista, ABackground A healthy start to life is a major priority in efforts to reduce health inequalities across Europe, with important implications for the health of future generations. There is limited combined evidence on inequalities in health among newborns across a range of European countries. Methods Prospective cohort data of 75 296 newborns from 12 European countries were used. Maternal education, preterm and sm...
