Status incongruence and serum cholesterol in an english general practice

Changes in Financial Strain Over Three Years, Ambulatory Blood Pressure, and Cortisol Responses to Awakening

“…Interestingly, this approach has been extended to developed societies. Dressler et al (39) demonstrated that the discrepancy between material consumption and occupational status was associated with elevated serum cholesterol in a population sample in the United Kingdom. Inasmuch as our financial strain measure reflects an imbalance between income and outgoings, it has parallels with the lifestyle incongruity concept.…”

Does the strength of the association between foetal growth rate and ischaemic heart disease mortality differ by social circumstances in early or later life?

“…On the other hand, the effect of size at birth may be more pronounced in the higher adult social class if other cardiovascular risk factors are more prominent among the lower class, thus rendering the effect of size at birth relatively unimportant in that group. Based on the previously proposed theories of status incongruence and rapid cultural change,36 37 it is also possible that high social status might be associated with specific stresses and challenges that disproportionately affect subjects with a history of impaired early growth.…”
