Are disadvantaged socioeconomic status and risk lifestyles associated with higher mortality and shorter life expectancy in China?
Disadvantaged socioeconomic status and risk lifestyles synergistically increase mortality risk and reduce life expectancy in the Chinese population.
this is the first nationwide cohort study reporting that disadvantaged SES was associated with higher mortality and shorter life expectancy in China, which was slightly mediated by lifestyles. Risk lifestyles were related to higher mortality across all socioeconomic groups, and those with risk lifestyles and disadvantaged SES had much higher mortality risks.
Zhang et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
