2011, Annals of EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :BMI, as well as being a risk factor for CVD (14, 15), is also associated with other CVD risk factors such as blood pressure (BP) (16) and lipid levels (17) and has been found to be related to both adult and childhood SEP (18, 19). Evidence suggests that BMI (and other risk factors for CVD) collected at the same time as SEP do not appear to fully explain the relationship between SEP and the incidence of CVD (20, 21). BMI, however, changes across the life course (22, 23), so it is possible that more of the association between life course SEP and CVD risk factors could be explained by lifetime BMI, rather than a single adult measure of BMI.

Historical Records as a Source of Information for Childhood Socioeconomic Status: Results from a Pilot Study of Decedents
2008, Annals of EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :The “developmental origins” hypothesis posits that perinatal stressors result in physiologic changes that impact risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in mid and later life (1). This has spurred research on the influence of childhood socioeconomic conditions on CVD in adults (2–16). A number of conceptual models have been proposed to explain potential pathways linking early life socioeconomic conditions with adult health (17, 18).
