“…Statistics Canada reported that in 2006, 62·9 % of 25-64-yearold adults in Vancouver completed college or university education (46) , which was similar to the student-reported parent education estimated in this sample (63·7 %). Research suggests that individuals living in neighbourhoods with high area-level SES may experience health advantages, even if they live in lower-income households (47) , because of greater local access to health services (47) or the influence of social networks (12,48) . The high level of educational attainment in Vancouver is somewhat paradoxical in a region where the before-tax child poverty rate stands at an estimated 18·4 % (in Metro Vancouver, defined by the Statistics Canada lowincome cut-off) (9) , housed in a province with persistently high child poverty rates (49) .…”

“…Previous research suggests that a differential distribution of psychosocial factors may play a role in socio-economic differences in health outcomes (11,12) . Given that SES is a difficult factor to change through health interventions alone, there is a pressing need to identify modifiable factors that mediate associations between SES and dietary outcomes, to serve as pragmatic loci for interventions aimed at reducing socio-economic disparities in nutritional outcomes.…”

Objective: To examine associations between students' socio-economic status (SES) and school-day dietary intake, and the roles of parents and peers in shaping these associations. Design: A cross-sectional survey measured school-day intake of vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk, packaged snack foods and sugar-sweetened beverages. Logistic regression models examined associations between SES (parental education and food insecurity status) and dietary outcomes during or en route to or from school, and examined whether peer modelling or parental norms potentially mediated the associations between SES and dietary outcomes. Setting: Twenty-six public schools in Vancouver, Canada in 2012. Subjects: Nine hundred and fifty students in grades 5-8. Results: Students whose parents completed some college, compared with those completing high school or less, were significantly more likely to consume vegetables daily (unadjusted OR = 1·85; 95 % CI 1·06, 3·22) and students whose parents completed college or university were significantly less likely to consume sugar-sweetened beverages daily (unadjusted OR = 0·67; 95 % CI 0·47, 0·94). Food secure students were also significantly less likely to consume sugar-sweetened beverages daily compared with food insecure students (unadjusted OR = 0·52; 95 % CI 0·29, 0·92). Parental norms, but not peer modelling, emerged as a potential mediator of the association between SES and vegetable intake. SES was not significantly associated with the remaining dietary outcomes. Conclusions: Higher SES was significantly associated with two of five school-day dietary outcomes and predicted higher likelihood of daily nutritious food choices at school. The present study suggests that there is room for improvement in school-day dietary quality for students from all SES backgrounds in Vancouver.

“…It is difficult to compare these data with similar ones, as there is a paucity of literature comparing trends in SRH among adolescents; few studies are concerned with the reliability of the measure of SRH along time, through adolescence 13 and from adolescence through to adulthood 12 and of its relationship with future health. Moreover some others try to relate it cross-sectionally with some background conditions, such as socioeconomic status 15 . Interpreting these trends should therefore be done with much caution and with the help of significant data on the countries condition during this decade.…”

Background: Self-Rated Health in adolescence is known to be associated with health outcomes in later life. We carried out a trend analysis on data coming from three waves of data collected in 32 countries (mostly European) from 2002 to 2010 coming from the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children surveys.Methods: Self-Rated Health in adolescents was assessed using a Likert scale (excellent, good, fair and poor). Responses were dichotomized into 'excellent' vs. 'rest'. Country, age and gender groups were Age has also a very stable trend towards a decreasing rating of health with increasing age. Conclusion:Decreased rating of health in the period 2006-2010 may be a signal of the socioeconomic difficulties of Europe in the last part of this decade.
