Association of Long-Term Trajectories of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status With Weight Change in Older Adults

Abstract: IMPORTANCE Studying long-term changes in neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) may help to better understand the associations between neighborhood exposure and weight outcomes and provide evidence supporting neighborhood interventions. Little previous research has been done to examine associations between neighborhood SES and weight loss, a risk factor associated with poor health outcomes in the older population. OBJECTIVE To determine whether improvements in neighborhood SES are associated with reduced like… Show more

“…This finding is consistent with the life course theory, which suggests that accumulation of exposure to neighbourhood deprivation at different life stages may be harmful for SPH [4]. The results of this study support the existing evidence suggesting an association between long-term NDTs and poor health outcomes [2,19,24,[40][41][42]. Using NDTs, Letarte et al found that women exposed to disadvantaged trajectories (Deprived Upward, Average Downward, or Deprived Trajectory) had higher odds of living with obesity than those exposed to the Privileged trajectory [24].…”

“…Using NDTs, Letarte et al found that women exposed to disadvantaged trajectories (Deprived Upward, Average Downward, or Deprived Trajectory) had higher odds of living with obesity than those exposed to the Privileged trajectory [24]. Additionally, studies using similar NDTs found that neighbourhood deprivation was associated with diabetes [7], psychological distress [19], weight gain [40,43] and intimate partner violence [41]. Using trajectories of exposure to high-poverty neighbourhoods, Yang and South found that neighbourhood poverty trajectories were a stronger predictor of self-rated health around age 40 [23].…”

“…Research in the social epidemiology of oral health has quantified the contribution of various sociopolitical, social, and health system factors to a range of dental conditions [50]. Such factors include the influence of exposures within the community where one lives [29,[65][66][67], e.g., prevalent low levels of education. Since a combination of community and individual effects is possible [65], some researchers argue that health may be affected by unhealthy lifestyles and behaviors as well as access to poor quality services [68].…”

“…4 However, a recent scoping review 2 of longitudinal studies found that few studies examined neighborhood change and weight outcomes, suggesting a need for more investigations. Some previous studies, [5][6][7][8] although not all, 9,10 have found that neighborhood decline in SES was associated with obesity and excessive weight gain and loss, whereas improvement in neighborhood SES was associated with more favorable weight outcomes. A limitation of these earlier studies [5][6][7][8][9][10] was the use of simplistic measures (eg, differences in poverty rates or a composite neighborhood SES index between 2 time points), which did not distinguish among specific types of neighborhood change.…”

“…15 The lack of association between neighborhood change and weight loss in the study sample may be explained by the relatively young ages of participants in the SCCS compared with other cohorts in which significant results were reported. 3,6 The population of our study was also distinct because most participants were recruited from low-income communities, which have been underexamined in previous research.…”
