Adolescent reports of subjective socioeconomicstatus: An adequate alternative to parent-reported objective and subjective socioeconomicstatus? Socioeconomicstatus (SES) is associated with well-being outcomes across studies; however, there is wide variation in its measurement, particularly in adolescence. One key difference in measures of SES concerns whether participants relay objective information-for example, years of education, household income-or subjective perceptions of socioeconomicstatus, either with or without reference to others or society. Although parents are often considered the best source of SES information-especially objective SES-within families, interviewing parents within the context of adolescent research is costly, time-consuming, and not always feasible. Given
Impact of frailty, malnutrition and socioeconomicstatus on perioperative outcomes Frailty, malnutrition and low socioeconomicstatus may mutually perpetuate each other in a self-reinforcing and interdependent manner. The intertwined nature of these factors may be overlooked when investigating impacts on perioperative outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the impact of frailty, malnutrition and socioeconomicstatus on perioperative outcomes. A multicentre cohort study involving six Australian tertiary hospitals was undertaken. All consecutive surgical patients who underwent an operation were included. Frailty was defined by the Hospital Frailty Risk Score, malnutrition by the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) and low socioeconomicstatus by the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage

The relationship between childhood socioeconomicstatus and depression level in older adults: the mediating role of adult socioeconomicstatus and subjective well-being. There is a causal link between childhood socioeconomicstatus and health status in adulthood and beyond. It's vital to comprehend the relationship between childhood socioeconomicstatus and mental health among older Chinese individuals from the current generation who have undergone significant social changes in China. This understanding is critical to foster healthy demographic and social development in China. Using data from the 2020 China Family Panel Studies, we investigate the relationship between childhood socioeconomicstatus and depression in older adults. Additionally, we examine the mediating role of adult
Multivariate mixed-effects ordinal logistic regression models with difference-in-differences estimator of the impact of WORTH Yetu on household hunger and socioeconomicstatus among OVC caregivers in Tanzania. Although most of the livelihood programmes target women, those that involve women and men have been evaluated as though men and women were a single homogenous population, with a mere inclusion of gender as an explanatory variable. This study evaluated the impact of WORTH Yetu (an economic empowerment intervention to improve livelihood outcomes) on household hunger, and household socioeconomicstatus (SES) among caregivers (both women and men) of orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) in Tanzania. The study hypothesized that women and men respond to livelihood interventions differently
The relationship between family socioeconomicstatus and the young children's number sense development: The mediating role of parent-child activities. This study examines the relationship between family socioeconomicstatus, parent-child activities, and young children's digital development. Using the Family SES questionnaire, the parent-child activities questionnaire, and the 5 to 6 year old children's number sense development scale as research instruments, 314 young children (M = 70.42, SD = 3.47). The results show that: (1) Family SocioeconomicStatus can significantly positively predict the young children's number sense development; (2) Parent-child activities play a partial mediating role in the relationship between family socioeconomicstatus and the young children's number sense
Socioeconomicstatus and adiposity in childhood cancer survivors: A cross-sectional retrospective study. This is a retrospective cross-sectional study examining the association between unemployment, cancer type, treatment and total body fat percentage of childhood cancer survivors recruited at St. Anne's University Hospital in Brno, Czech Republic. A total of 55 survivors aged 18-49 who were in remission of cancer and fulfilled the criteria for body composition measurements by the BIA and completed questionnaires investigating their socioeconomicstatus, employment status, and history. There was a significant relationship between the employment status and central nervous system-directed treatment (c2(1) = 7.53, p = 0.006, Cramér's V = 0.38) and between the type of cancer and employment status

Healthcare utilization and its association with socioeconomicstatus in China: Evidence from the 2011-2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Healthcare utilization often favors the higher-socioeconomicstatus (SES) and having chronic diseases may exacerbate this inequality. This study aims to examine the trends in health service use over time, the effect of SES on healthcare
Sex-specific associations between socioeconomicstatus and ideal cardiovascular health among Korean adults: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007-2017.
Childhood family socioeconomicstatus is linked to adult brain electrophysiology. A large body of research has linked childhood family socioeconomicstatus (SES) to neurodevelopment in childhood and adolescence. However, it remains unclear to what extent childhood family SES relates to brain functioning in adulthood. To address this gap, the present study investigated the associations between
Differences in urine creatinine and osmolality between black and white Americans after accounting for age, moisture intake, urine volume, and socioeconomicstatus. Urine osmolality is used throughout research to determine hydration levels. Prior studies have found black individuals to have elevated urine creatinine and osmolality, but it remains unclear which factors explain these findings . This cross-sectional, observational study sought to understand the relationship of self-reported race to urine creatinine and urine osmolality after accounting for age, socioeconomicstatus, and fluid intake. Data from 1,386 participants of the 2009-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were utilized. Age, poverty-to-income ratio (PIR), urine flow rate (UFR), fluid intake, estimated lean

Multivariable modeling: A retrospective cohort study exploring the impact of socioeconomicstatus and distance to a rural academic center on all-cause preterm delivery.
Working horse welfare in Senegal is linked to owner's socioeconomicstatus, their attitudes and belief in horse sentience. The role that working equids play in both rural and urban communities in low and middle-income countries is invaluable. They contribute to daily tasks such as carrying food, water and people, support income generation, and are of social and cultural importance. Despite their importance, global standards of working equid welfare are low. Many variables can impact the welfare status of animals under human care, but often specific factors are explored in isolation. Factors can include, but are not limited to an owner's socioeconomicstatus and their attitudes and beliefs towards animals. In this study we assessed the relationships between 1.) Attitudes and belief in horse
