“…These deficits may lead to irreversible consequences with long-term latent effects that manifest at a later stage in life. 9, 10,11,12 Thus, in the present investigation, as shown in figure 1, we investigated the influence of early socioeconomic adversity on young adult health directly and indirectly through depressive symptoms and BMI trajectories. We capture the cumulative adversity (a composite index) by aggregating different dimensions of socioeconomic adversity (e.g., parental education, community family poverty rate).…”

Purpose The present study investigated the psycho-physiological inter and intra-individual processes that mediate the linkage between childhood/adolescent socioeconomic adversities and adult health outcomes. Specifically, the proposed model examined the roles of youth depressive symptoms and BMI trajectories as mediators that explain the link between early adversity and young adults’ general health and physical illnesses after controlling for gender, race/ethnicity, and earlier general health reports. Methods Using a nationally representative sample of 12,424 from National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), this study used growth curve modeling to consider both the severity (initial level) as well as the change over time (deterioration or elevation) as psycho-physiological mediators, thereby acknowledging multiple facets of depressive symptoms and BMI trajectories as psych-physiological mediators of early adversity to adult health. Results Results provide evidence for (a) the influence of early childhood and early adolescent cumulative socioeconomic adversity on both the initial levels and changes over time of depressive symptoms and BMI and (b) the independent influences depressive symptoms and BMI trajectories on the general health and the physical illnesses of young adults Conclusions These findings contribute valuable knowledge to existing research by elucidating how early adversity exerts an enduring long-term influence on physical health problems in young adulthood; further, this information suggests effective intervention and prevention programs should incorporate multiple facets (severity and change over time) of multiple mechanisms (psychological and physiological).

“…In past studies, investigators have drawn links between low neighborhood socioeconomic status and obesity (10)(11)(12), hypertension (13,14), diabetes (15), and other associated risk factors, including poor diet (16)(17)(18), infrequent exercise (19,20), and sleep deficiencies (21). In most such studies, researchers relied on self-reported data from respondents, which may lead to bias.…”

“…The sensitive periods model holds that negative health exposures have greater effects when they occur during developmentally vulnerable stages in life and affect later-life outcomes irrespective of future exposures (30). This model has been used to explain associations between early-life disadvantage and future outcomes, including risky health behaviors, impaired immune function, and decreased adult life expectancy (11,(31)(32)(33). Under this view, adolescents from poor neighborhoods are expected to have a higher risk of cardiometabolic disorders in adulthood than are those from nonpoor neighborhoods, irrespective of residential circumstances in adulthood.…”

Limitations of extant research on neighborhood disadvantage and health include general reliance on point-intime neighborhood measures and sensitivity to residential self-selection. Using data from the US Census and the 1995-2008 National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we applied conventional methods and coarsened exact matching to assess how cardiometabolic health varies among those entering, exiting, or remaining in poor and nonpoor neighborhoods. Within the full sample (n = 11,767), we found significantly higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures among those who entered or consistently lived in poor neighborhoods relative to those who never lived in poor neighborhoods. Obesity was similarly more common among those who originated from poor neighborhoods than among those who originated from nonpoor neighborhoods. Having exited poor neighborhoods was associated with lower systolic blood pressure than was consistent residence in low-income communities. Among the matched sample (n = 9,727), results adjusted for confounders and residential selfselection revealed fewer significant contrasts. Compared with peers who had no neighborhood poverty exposure, those who consistently lived in poor neighborhoods had 46% and 52% higher odds of being obese or hypertensive, respectively. Those who exited neighborhood poverty had significantly higher diastolic blood pressures than those who had never lived in poor neighborhoods. These findings underscore the importance of past as well as current residential circumstances for cardiometabolic health.

“…A obesidade na adolescência constitui um dos mais importantes problemas de saúde pública na atualidade, não somente pela possibilidade de manutenção dessa condição até a vida adulta 1 como também por aumentar o risco para o surgimento precoce das complicações metabólicas associadas ao excesso de gordura corporal [2][3][4] , entre elas a síndrome metabólica.…”
