Background: In humans, low socioeconomic status (SES) across the life course is
associated with greater diurnal cortisol production, increased inflammatory activity and …

ABSTRACT DNA methylation in blood may adapt to conditions affecting our health, such as
inflammation, and multiple studies have identified differential DNA methylation related to …

Epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, have been hypothesized to provide a link
between the social environment and disease development. The purpose of this study was to …

Epigenetic mechanisms have been suggested to play a role in the genetic regulation of
pathways related to inflammation. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review studies …

Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with earlier onset of age-related chronic
conditions and reduced life-expectancy, but the underlying biomolecular mechanisms …

Background Chronic low-grade inflammation reflects a subclinical immune response
implicated in the pathogenesis of complex diseases. Identifying genetic loci where DNA …

Objectives Socioeconomic status (SES) is a powerful determinant of health, but the
underlying biological mechanisms are poorly understood. This study investigates whether …

Living in a disadvantaged neighborhood is associated with poor health outcomes even after
accounting for individual-level socioeconomic factors. The chronic stress of unfavorable …

Chronic inflammation contributes to a wide range of human diseases, and environments in
infancy and childhood are important determinants of inflammatory phenotypes. The …

Background Disadvantaged socio-economic position (SEP) in childhood is associated with
increased adult mortality and morbidity. We aimed to establish whether childhood SEP was …
