How health behaviors (HB) and socioeconomic position (SEP) were related to health and wellbeing.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaOct 17 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in BMC Public Health, researchers investigated how health behaviors and socioeconomic position were related to health and wellbeing.
About the study In the present study, researchers investigated the importance of socioeconomic position and health behavior for well-being and health variations and the extent to which HB contributes to SEP health and well-being gradients. They examined the Troms survey participants’ data, including 21,083 individuals, of whom those born prior to 1952 were excluded since they had no exposure to policy innovations that significantly impacted higher education enrolment. Both predictors were divided into four categories.Related StoriesThe composite HB indicator was based on four degrees of unhealthy behavior: super-healthy, semi-healthy, semi-healthy, and unhealthy.
In addition, the team assessed the strength of the findings on a limited sample, including ‘non-ill-health’ individuals, assuming that lower HRQoL scores would affect physical activity levels. The greater the education within the various health behavior categories, the better the health-related QoL was for EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L Unlike the two study outcomes related to health, the team found no evidence of a gradient for education in subjective well-being.
