Gender (women or men), ethnicity (white, black, brown, or yellow/indigenous), and years of formal education were also self-reported. We used relative frequencies and their respective 95% confidence intervals to analyze trends. The absolute and relative differences between the proportions were used...
Among both men and women, low income is more important in Central & Eastern Europe than in most other countries, which can, again be traced back to differences between countries in the magnitude of inequalities in low income as shown in Fig. 1 and Appendix table F1. Among men, smoking ...
The GLMs for CRP and the OLS regressions for fibrinogen were estimated on the pooled sample of men and women (SEP-gender interactions; two-tailed p-values > 0.05). The “base models” accounted for demographic, regional variables and each of the SEP measures. In order to allow for a...
Changes in social capital over time are attributed to structural societal changes instead of individual influences[9]. Bourdieu emphasises the way that social capital reproduces inequality by allowing some people to mobilise the capital of their family, sports club, school or other associations to ...

During puberty, girls suffer from chronic and mental illnesses and male adolescents are more likely to suffer...
This pattern did not differ between men and women. While most associations were not statistically significant with income as indicator of SEP, both positive and negative associations were found with education as indicator of SEP (Table 2). In Southern Europe, nine out of 12 assessed associations ...
the gap between rich and poor. One in 3,300 women in richer countries is a victim, compared with one in 41 in low-income countries. Deaths fromcaesarean sectionsare 100 times higher in poorer countries and overall life expectancy is 18 years lower. One child in every 14 will die before ...
Methods: We followed a cohort of 8,942 men and 10,578 women aged 40, 45, 60 years (non-users of BZDs at baseline), who participated in health surveys in 2000-01 in three Norwegian counties, with respect to use of BZDs, and other potentially addictive drugs, by linkage to the ...
