December 3, 2007International Journal of Epidemiology

A graded association between higher socioeconomic position and lower CRP was observed in adulthood for education (P = 0.0005), but these differences were not evident at conception, childhood, or adolescence.

Overview

Socioeconomic disparities in CRP may arise in adulthood; extends life-course epidemiology but leaves open causal timing and prevention strategies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1,484 participants from the population-based Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study, assessed from childhood (age 3-9) to adulthood (age 24-39). Participants with CRP > 10 mg/l were excluded.
O
Outcome
C-reactive protein (CRP) levels across the life coursesurrogate

Socioeconomic inequalities in systemic inflammation, as measured by CRP, emerge in adulthood rather than being determined at conception or during childhood.
