Description
Summary:This analysis examined whether early life SES was associated with longitudinal changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) severity among Black and white women. Data were from 531 women (non-Hispanic Black=263; non-Hispanic white=268, Mage=39) in the National Growth and Health Study (NGHS). Information about parental education was collected during the baseline survey when participants were 9. Information regarding MetS severity were collected during year-7 (Mage=16), year-10 (Mage=19), and year-30 (Mage = 39) follow-up studies. Controlling for baseline body mass index, smoking status, and marital status, Black participants showed a faster increase in MetS severity across two decades. Early life SES (b=.03, SE=.01, p
