“…In secondary analyses, to compare our findings to past studies that contrasted manual vs. non-manual workers (Hallqvist et al, 2004;Beebe-Dimmer et al, 2004), we repeated the analyses limiting the "low grade" group to 1) manual workers and participants excluded from the labour force and 2) manual workers. Additionally, we repeated the analyses reclassifying participants who were unemployed in midlife according to their last occupation.…”

“…Across industrialized countries, socioeconomic position in childhood and in adulthood is found to predict adult mortality (Lynch, Kaplan, Cohen, Kauhanen, Wilson, Smith et al 1994;Beebe-Dimmer, Lynch, Turrell, Lustgarten, Raghunathan & Kaplan, 2004;Melchior, Berkman, Kawachi, Krieger, Zins, Bonenfant et al 2006) and morbidity, as measured by self-rated health, long-standing limiting illness, overweight, major depression, myocardial infarction, and cancer incidence (Power, Matthews & Manor, 1996;Bartley & Plewis, 2002;Ribet, Zins, Guéguen, Bingham, Goldberg, Ducimetière et al 2003;Poulton, Caspi, Milne, Thompson, Taylor, Sears et al 2002;Gilman, Kawachi, Fitzmaurice & Buka, 2002;Hallqvist, Lynch, Bartley, Lang & Blane, 2004;Melchior, Goldberg, Krieger, Kawachi, Menvielle, Zins et al 2005a). Of studies that investigated childhood and adult socioeconomic circumstances simultaneously, some found that both early life and adult factors predict adult health (Power et al, 1996;Poulton et al, 2002;Gilman et al, 2002;Beebe-Dimmer et al, 2004), while others reported that adult health is primarily a function of adult socioeconomic position (Lynch et al, 1994;Melchior et al, 2005a;Melchior et al, 2006).…”

“…Two main life course hypotheses other than the critical period hypothesis are the accumulation of risk and social mobility hypotheses. The accumulation of risk hypothesis suggests that exposures accumulate during the life course in order to cumulatively increase the risk of chronic disease in adulthood (Hallqvist et al, 2004).…”

Logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations adjusting for age, country of birth, socioeconomic status, emotional support, instrumental support and trust, and stratifying by sex. The accumulation hypothesis was confirmed because combined childhood and adulthood exposures to economic stress were associated with poor psychological health in a graded manner. The social mobility hypothesis was also confirmed. The critical period hypothesis was not confirmed because both childhood and adulthood economic stress remained significantly associated with poor psychological health in adulthood. Economic stress in childhood is associated with mental health in adulthood.

ImportanceStudies are lacking summarizing how the association between mental disorders and mortality varies by socioeconomic position (SEP), particularly considering different aspects of SEP, specific types of mental disorders, and causes of death.ObjectiveTo investigate the role of SEP in the association between mental disorders and mortality and the association between SEP and mortality among people with mental disorders.Data SourcesMEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science were searched from January 1, 1980, through April 3, 2023, and a snowball search of reference and citation lists was conducted.Study SelectionInclusion criteria were observational studies estimating the associations between different types of mental disorders and mortality, stratified by SEP and between SEP and mortality in people with mental disorders.Data Extraction and SynthesisPairs of reviewers independently extracted data using a predefined data extraction form and assessed the risk of bias using the adapted Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Graphical analyses of the dose-response associations and random-effects meta-analyses were performed. Heterogeneity was explored through meta-regressions and sensitivity analyses.Main Outcomes and MeasuresAll-cause and cause-specific mortality.ResultsOf 28 274 articles screened, 71 including more than 4 million people with mental disorders met the inclusion criteria (most of which were conducted in high-income countries). The relative associations between mental disorders and mortality were similar across SEP levels. Among people with mental disorders, belonging to the highest rather than the lowest SEP group was associated with lower all-cause mortality (pooled relative risk [RR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.73-0.86) and mortality from natural causes (RR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.62-0.85) and higher mortality from external causes (RR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.99-1.41). Heterogeneity was high (I2 = 83% to 99%). Results from subgroup, sensitivity, and meta-regression analyses were consistent with those from the main analyses. Evidence on absolute scales, specific diagnoses, and specific causes of death was scarce.Conclusion and RelevanceThis study did not find a sufficient body of evidence that SEP moderated the relative association between mental disorders and mortality, but the underlying mortality rates may differ by SEP group, despite having scarcely been reported. This information gap, together with our findings related to SEP and a possible differential risk between natural and external causes of death in individuals with specific types of mental disorders, warrants further research.
