There is convincing evidence that lower socioeconomic position associated with increased risk of mental disorders. However, the mechanisms involved are not well understood. This study aims to elucidate causal pathways between and depression symptoms in South African adults.

Abstract The world diabetes population quadrupled between 1980 and 2014 to 422 million the enormous impact of Type 2 is recognised by recent creation national prevention programmes. There uncertainty about how correctly risk stratify people for entry into programmes, combinations multiple ‘at high risk’ glycemic categories predict outcome, large recently defined based on an elevated glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) should be managed.

Abstract Background Socioeconomic position (SEP) throughout life is associated with cardiovascular disease, though the mechanisms linking these two are unclear. It also unclear whether there critical periods in course when exposure to better socioeconomic conditions confers advantages or SEP exposures accumulate across whole course. Inflammation may be a mechanism disease. In large sample of older residents Guangzhou, southern China, we examined association inflammation. Methods baseline...
