  • Association of Childhood Economic Hardship with Adult Height and Adult Adiposity among Hispanics/Latinos. The HCHS/SOL Socio-Cultural Ancillary Study.
    PloS one, 2016
    Co-Authors: Carmen R. Isasi, Molly Jung, Christina M. Parrinello, Robert C. Kaplan, Ryung S. Kim, Noe C. Crespo, Patricia Gonzalez, Natalia Gouskova, Frank J. Penedo, Krista M. Perreira
    Abstract:

    The study examined the association of childhood and current Economic Hardship with anthropometric indices in Hispanic/Latino adults, using data from the HCHS/SOL Socio-cultural ancillary study (N = 5,084), a community-based study of Hispanic/Latinos living in four urban areas (Bronx, NY, Chicago, IL, Miami, FL, and San Diego, CA). Childhood Economic Hardship was defined as having experienced a period of time when one’s family had trouble paying for basic needs (e.g., food, housing), and when this Economic Hardship occurred: between 0–12, 13–18 years old, or throughout both of those times. Current Economic Hardship was defined as experiencing trouble paying for basic needs during the past 12 months. Anthropometry included height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and percentage body fat (%BF). Complex survey linear regression models were used to test the associations of childhood Economic Hardship with adult anthropometric indices, adjusting for potential confounders (e.g., age, sex, Hispanic background). Childhood Economic Hardship varied by Hispanic background, place of birth, and adult socio-Economic status. Childhood Economic Hardship during both periods, childhood and adolescence, was associated with shorter height. Childhood Economic Hardship was associated with greater adiposity among US born individuals only. Current Economic Hardship was significantly associated with all three measures of adiposity (BMI, WC, %BF). These findings suggest that previous periods of childhood Economic Hardship appear to influence adult height more than adiposity, whereas current Economic Hardship may be a better determinant of adult adiposity in Hispanics.

  • Economic Hardship and depression across the life course the impact of welfare state regimes
    Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 2011
    Co-Authors: Katia Levecque, Ronan Van Rossem, Katrien De Boyser, Sarah Van De Velde, Piet Bracke
    Abstract:

    Previous research in the United States suggests that depression related to Economic Hardship decreases with age. We test whether this pattern can be generalized to other developed nations. Based on data from 23 countries in the European Social Survey (2006--2007), multilevel analyses show that the moderating role of age depends on the socio-political context. While the Hardship--depression link is not significantly different across the life course in Nordic and Bismarckian regimes, the Hardship--depression link increases with age in Southern and Eastern European countries and decreases with age in strength in Anglo-Saxon welfare states. Our findings suggest that welfare state regimes play a significant role in attenuating, boosting, or even reversing the health effects of social experiences such as Economic Hardship on aging. Health knowledge gained through research that ignores the socio-political context may be limited in terms of generalization.
