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.

d'Erico, A; Ricceri, F; Stringhini, S; Carmeli, C; Kivimaki, M; Bartley, M; McCrory, C; Bochud, M; Vollenweider, P; Tumino, R; Goldberg, M; Zins, MBackground: Several social indicators have been used in epidemiological research to describe socioeconomic position (SEP) of people in societies. Among SEP indicators, those more frequently used are education, occupational class and income. Differences in the incidence of several health outcomes have been reported consistently, independently from the indicator employed. Main objectives of the study were to pres...

Stringhini, S; Carmeli, C; Jokela, M; Avendaño, M; Muennig, P; Guida, F; Ricceri, F; d'Errico, A; Barros, H; Bochud, M; Chadeau-Hyam, MBackground: In 2011, WHO member states signed up to the 25 × 25 initiative, a plan to cut mortality due to non-communicable diseases by 25% by 2025. However, socioeconomic factors influencing non-communicable diseases have not been included in the plan. In this study, we aimed to compare the contribution of socioeconomic status to mortality and years-of-life-lost with that of the 25 × 25 conventional risk facto...
