In this session the learner will hear about issues in SES and health. Neighborhood impoverishment is examined as a factor in self-rated health status, and as a modifier of the risk of low birth weight associated with older African-American mothers. Differences in types of physical activity by race/ethnicity and education are considered, as is the impact of SES on asthma in rural Chilean adults and health behaviors among Chinese adolescents. | |||
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Understand the relationship between advancing maternal age and infant low birth weight among urban African-Americans. 2. Recognize patterns and levels of leisure-time, work-related, and total physical activity among racial/ethnic and educational subgroups. 3. Identify asthma as a disease linked to socio-economic status (SES). 4. Analyze the relationship between neighborhood SES, neighborhood social capital, and individual health. | |||
