“…A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4 A low socioeconomic-status (SES) has long been recognized as a modifiable risk factors for CVD, 2 though the specific mechanisms leading to health inequalities are not completely understood. 3 In addition, several studies [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] documented a significant association between SES and carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT), an established surrogate marker of subclinical atherosclerosis that is strongly associated with most CV risk factors and predictive of future cardiovascular events. [18][19][20][21] Nevertheless, some issues related to the association between SES and C-IMT need to be clarified.…”

“…Exposure to socioeconomic stress in early life or prenatal exposure to maternal stress is associated with an increased risk for CV disease [90–917]. Loria et al demonstrated that maternal separation as a model of early life stress ( ELS ) did not program a significant increase in baseline BP [92].…”

Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Although multiple factors contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension, studies by Dr. David Barker reporting an inverse relationship between birth weight and blood pressure led to the hypothesis that slow growth during fetal life increases blood pressure and the risk for cardiovascular disease in later life. It is now recognized that growth during infancy and childhood in addition to exposure to adverse influences during fetal life contribute to the developmental programming of increased cardiovascular risk. Numerous epidemiological studies support the link between influences during early life with later cardiovascular health; experimental models provide proof of principle and indicate that numerous mechanisms contribute to the developmental origins of chronic disease. Sex impacts the severity of cardiovascular risk in experimental models of developmental insult. Yet, few studies examine the influence of sex on blood pressure and cardiovascular health in low birth weight men and women. Fewer still assess how aging impacts sex differences in programmed cardiovascular risk. Thus, the aim of this review is to highlight current data regarding sex differences in the developmental programming of blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

The nature of occupation was categorized into four groups (i.e.routine, manual; non-routine, manual; routine, non-manual; and, non-routine, non-manual) according to the definitions proposed by Autor et al 59 .…”

BackgroundHealth-related control and self-efficacy beliefs can be assessed in the general population using Multidimensional Health Locus of Control-A subscales (MHLC-A) and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), respectively.ObjectiveTo test construct validity, internal consistency, reliability (test-retest) and ceiling and floor effects of Portuguese-Brazil versions of MHLC-A and GSES.MethodCivil servants (N=2901) enrolled in a large Brazilian cohort were included. A new version of the GSES was produced (GSES-Brazil). Procedures for cross-cultural adaptation and testing of psychometric properties followed well-accepted international guidelines.ResultsConfirmatory factor analyses yielded the following indices: MHLC-A (tridimensional model): χ2[df]=223.45[132], p-value <0.01; CFI=0.87; TLI=0.85; RMSEA=0.07 (0.07-0.08); WRMR=3.00. GSES-Brazil (unidimensional model): χ2[df]=788.60[35], p-value <0.01; CFI=0.95; TLI=0.94; RMSEA=0.09 (0.08-0.09); WRMR=2.50. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients and Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC2,1) ranged from 0.57 (0.54-0.59) and 0.57 (0.47-0.65) for MHLC-A internality to 0.80 (0.79-0.81) and 0.71 (0.66-0.77) for GSES-Brazil, respectively. There was no evidence of ceiling and floor effects. Convergent validity analyses provided further support for construct validity of both scales.ConclusionThese findings support the use of the newly developed version of GSES-Brazil for the assessment of general self-efficacy of adult Brazilians. Internal consistency was lower than ideal for MHLC-A, indicating these subscales may need further refinements to provide a more psychometrically sound measure of control beliefs.
