Socioeconomic Status And Health

Abstract Background:Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important determinant of health behaviors in individuals and contributes to a complex relationship with health. Because of this complexity, the relationship between SES and health behavior is still unclear. Thus, this literature review aims to assess the association between socioeconomic inequalities and health behaviors in children and adolescents from both developed and developing countries.Methods:Preferred Reporting for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis protocol (PRISMA-P) guideline was used to conduct a systematic literature review. The electronic online databases EBSCO Host, PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct were utilized to systematically search the published articles. Joanna Briggs Institute of critical appeal tool was deployed to assess the quality of included studies. Eligibilities criteria such as study population, study design, study type, study objective, language, and publication date were used to identify the relevant literature that measured the association between socioeconomic status and health behaviors.Results:Out of 1483 articles, only 31 met the final eligibility criteria and were assessed in this paper. Out of these studies: ten, nine, seven and five studies identified a positive association between socioeconomic status (SES) and (a) drinking alcohol; (b) physical activity; (c) fruits and vegetable consumption; (d) consumption of a healthy diet respectively. On the other hand, a negative association between SES and smoking and SES and consumption of cannabis were found by eleven and one study respectively among the children and adolescents. Conclusions:This review study found that the problem of health behaviors is continuing to be a major concern in children and adolescents, particularly those who are of low socioeconomic status. The findings of this study revealed that some specific intervention packages are needed for reducing these damaging health behaviors and enhancing the protective health behaviors in those children and adolescents from a low socioeconomic status.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an increasing concern in Canada, with low socioeconomic status being a major risk factor. This review explores strategies to improve food access that promote healthy food choices among people experiencing food insecurity and living with T2DM. Whittemore and Knalf’s (2015) integrative literature review methodology was used to extract and analyse the evidence. Four key strategies emerged: 1) promoting healthy food affordability through incentives and disincentives, 2) understanding effective and ineffective food interventions, 3) enhancing nutritional education in the standard of care, and 4) manifesting empowerment through self-efficacy and diabetes management. These strategies can be applied by nurse practitioners within primary care. Aligned with a population health approach, they can direct practice, education, and research through healthy public policy focused on reducing the incidence of T2DM, particularly in people experiencing food insecurity.

Although many studies have discussed visual acuity (VA), the childhood myopia epidemic has not been alleviated and requires further investigation. This study, therefore, investigates the differences in children’s VA among various family structures and the effects of visual health attitudes (VHA) and visual health behaviors (VHB) on VA. The children in low socioeconomic status (SES) families in Changhua County, Taiwan are the main research subjects. Using purposive sampling, the study conducts a questionnaire survey and a VA examination on low SES children, undergoing counseling at two social welfare organizations in Taiwan. The VA examination was conducted at the two social welfare organizations by an ophthalmologist from Tzu Chi Hospital, Taichung, between October 2016 and December 2016. 265 questionnaires were returned. Significantly, over 60% of the samples of low SES children were not living with their parents. Of these children, the highest proportion (35.8%) lived with their mothers; the second-highest (31.3%), lived with their grandparents; and the third highest (29.4%), lived with their fathers. 86.4% of the low SES children had poor (below 1.0) VA. The study, therefore, concludes that schools should focus on low SES students, and should focus on improving the VHA of the youngest students.

Abstract Background Many studies have evaluated the effects that a lack of resources has in children’s physical and cognitive development. Although there are reviews that have focused on applied interventions from different perspectives, there is still a need for a comprehensive review of what has been attempted with these children from the cognitive intervention field. The aim of this paper is to present a protocol for a systematic review collecting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studies whose purpose was to enhance cognitive development through the implementation of cognitive interventions in children and adolescents (< 18 years old) from low socioeconomic Status (SES) settings. Methods The following databases will be searched: Web of Science (WoS core collection), PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial, ERIC, PubMed, ICTRP and Opengrey Register (System for Information of Grey Literature in Europe). Searches will be adapted for each database. Additionally, the reference list of articles included in the review will also be searched. As part of this process, two reviewers will determine, independently, the suitability of each article taking into account predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Pertinent data will then be extracted, including sample characteristics, specifics of the intervention, and outcomes, as well as follow-up measures. Internal validity will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. A quantitative synthesis of results will be conducted using a meta-analysis. However, if a meta-analysis is difficult to implement due to the diversity of the studies (for example, in terms of measures used to estimate the effect size, intervention types, outcomes, etc.), the technique synthesis without meta-analysis (SWiM) will be used. A description of outcome measures will be provided, as measured by validated neuropsychological instruments of any cognitive function. Discussion The systematic review will offer a framework based on evidence to organisations, institutions, and experts who want to implement or promote interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive domains in children and adolescents who live in disadvantaged contexts. Systematic review registration This protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) on 16 March 2020 (registration number: CDR42020150238).

Disparities in Childhood Obesity in Low Socioeconomic Status and Racial/Ethnic Populations: An analytical literature review Kimberly Hutapea1   1Dept. of Nursing, STIKes Rajawali, Bandung, Indonesia [email protected]   Abstact Introduction: Since childhood obesity is linked with an increased risk of obesity in adulthood, obesity in children and adolescence brings a multitude of adverse health outcomes including, but not limited to cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, diabetes, some forms of cancer, hypertension, and death.  This study focuses on analytical evaluation of disparities of childhood obesity in low socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic populations.   Methods: The analytical review was conducted on the literature available online focusing five dimensions for the analysis is expressed in the following points: (1) What is evel of incidence of childhood obesity in the United States, (2) What is definition of childhood obesity? (3) What are the factors that impact obesity? (4) What is the appropriate theoretical framework for research on childhood obesity? (5) What are the knowledge gaps and the recommended future research?.   Results: The prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents is very alarming and needs to be addressed because this health status, being overweight/obese, has a significant and unfavorable impact on not only the health of young Americans today but also the future health of young Americans. Using the percentile categories to determine childhood obesity, there are noteworthy differences when comparing obesity rates by race/ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. There was no significant correlation between race/ethnicity and overweight/obese when controlling the income.   Discussion: When addressing disparities in childhood obesity it is important to understand not only the causes of obesity, but also other factors which may amplify the causes of obesity.  Socioeconomic status during childhood, being male, white,  has a high possibility of adiposity in adolescence.  Exposure to media and marketing, the reduced access and availability of quality and affordable food products is an example of a factor that may amplify the cause of obesity.   Keywords: childhood obesity, socioeconomic status, ethnic population.

Physical Activity Interventions

Background: This paper is based on a report commissioned by the South Australian Health Department to undertake a literature review identifying key physical activity interventions in ‘different’ populations. This paper presents the findings from the literature surrounding youth from early childhood through to adolescence only. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search using the following online academic databases: Proquest, Informit, Blackwell Synergy, Sage Publications, CINAHL and Cochrane. The search targeted peerreviewed articles, systematic reviews and evaluations. Each search used the term ‘physical activity and’, using the Boolean ‘or’ exercise. Using the Boolean ‘and’ combinations of the following words were added: low socioeconomic position ‘or’ low socioeconomic status, culture, intervention, health promotion, evaluation, strategies, South Australia, Australia. We also reviewed Australian government websites. Results: There are myriad reasons for the success or failure of physical activity interventions for youth ranging from parental influences, gender and age, culture, socioeconomic status, and social and physical environments. Conclusions: Multi-faceted approaches to interventions are required to achieve optimal outcomes for youth from early childhood through to adolescence. School provides an ideal site to engage students in physical activity. However ‘curriculum-only’ strategies do not work. Engaging parents in the interventions will heighten the probability of success.
