Life-course socioeconomic status and obesity: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aim to explore the literature that studies the links between life-course socioeconomic status and weight status and characterize the life-course approach used.

Introduction

Obesogenic environments are increasing rapidly in deprived environments, and cross-sectional studies have shown limitations in explaining the links between these environments and obesity. The life-course approach has been proposed recently to better understand the links between socioeconomic status and weight status.

Inclusion criteria

Studies that identify life-course socioeconomic status and longitudinal built environment indicators and associate them with body weight indicators between January 2000 and January 2023.

Methods

Studies in French or English were searched in Medlin
