Socioeconomic mobility, metabolic health, and diet: mediation via subjective socioeconomic status.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Socioeconomic mobility, i.e., changing socioeconomic status (SES) between adolescence and adulthood, may impact health through changing resources, social status, and health-related behaviors. This analysis examined whether subjective SES contributes to associations of mobility with metabolic health (BMI and metabolic syndrome) and unhealthy diets (fast-food consumption and sugar-sweetened beverage [SSB] consumption).

Methods

Linear and logistic regressions examined associations of mobility with metabolic and dietary outcomes and me
