“…In a rural region of China, a general inverse association was reported between education level and dyslipidemia 10 . Similar data were observed with Greek adolescents 14 . Also, evaluating the Greek participants of the EPIC Study, Benetou et al observed that total blood cholesterol was inversely related to education level in both men and women.…”

Introduction: Socioeconomic status, whether assessed by income, education, or occupation, is linked to a wide range of health problems, including low birthweight, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, arthritis, diabetes, and cancer.Method: This wasa observational study. 62 patients were included in the study group of research study. The key outcome measures were BMI, Blood Glucose Fasting & Postmeal and total lipid profile. Result:In our study we evaluated the lipid profile in relation to socio-economic status and found that low socioeconomic status(SES) affects the most, followed by middle SES and lastly the least affection is of higher SES. Conclusion:Our data showed that higher income and higher education inversely affects lipid profile in diabetic patients.

“…Studies have already shown the incidence of child injury and the incidence of child pedestrian accidents to be associated with factors including social class and income deprivation (Preston, 1972;Braddock et al, 1991;Roberts and Power, 1996;Roberts, 1997;LaScala et al, 2004;Laflamme et al, 2009); family circumstance, such as single parenthood and low levels of parental education (Bergstrom and Bjornstig, 1991;Judge and Benzeval, 1993;Petridou et al, 1994); ethnicity (Lawson and Edwards, 1991;Christie, 1995;Howard et al, 2005); and conditions of the physical environment, particularly those characteristic of urbanised localities (Bagley, 1992;Petch and Henson, 2000;Mayr et al, 2003;Dissanayake et al, 2009).…”

“…Nevertheless, there is considerable evidence of inequalities in childhood injury risks across social groups. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In addition, there is little literature concerning how socioeconomic patterns vary at different ages during childhood and adolescence, as most previous studies have dealt with rather wide age categories. Likewise, possible variations by injury groups with increasing age are rarely addressed.…”

Study objective:To measure socioeconomic differences in injuries among different age groups of children and adolescents.Subjects:Children under 20 living in Sweden between 1990 and 1994 (about 2.6 million).Method:A cross sectional study based on record linkage between 15 Swedish national registers. Children were divided into four age groups and allocated to four household socioeconomic status groups. Absolute and relative risks were compiled using children of high/intermediate level salaried employees as the comparison group. Four diagnostic groups were considered: fall, traffic, interpersonal violence, and self inflicted injuries.Results:Injury incidences were relatively low and socioeconomic differences negligible in the 0–4 year olds. Thereafter, significant socioeconomic differences were observed in all diagnostic groups except falls. The highest absolute differences were in traffic injuries, especially among 15–19 year olds, and in self inflicted injuries among 15–19 year old girls. Relative differences were highest in both categories of intentional injuries for the age group 10–14. Social circumstances in the household other than family socioeconomic status affected the social pattern of intentional but not that of unintentional injuries.Conclusions:Socioeconomic differences in injury risks are not necessarily constant over age. Inequalities are particularly high in absolute terms among adolescents 15–19 years old for traffic injuries and in relative terms among 10–14 year olds for intentional injuries.
