Socioeconomic differences in food habits among 6-to 9-year-old children from 23 countries-WHO European Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative (COSI 2015/2017)

Anne-Siri Fismen et al.

Summary: This study found that lower SES is associated with unhealthy food habits, particularly as assessed by parental education and family perceived wealth, but not parental employment status. There are cross-national and regional variations in the associations between SES and food habits, as well as differences in the extent to which the respective indicators of SES were related to children's diet.

Socioeconomic inequalities in overweight and obesity among 6-to 9-year-old children in 24 countries from the World Health Organization European region

Marta Buoncristiano et al.

Summary: This study found associations between childhood overweight and obesity and parental education, parental employment status, and family-perceived wealth, with different relationships observed in high-income versus middle-income countries. The findings highlight the importance of considering socioeconomic status when designing interventions, as the association with childhood overweight and obesity varies across countries based on economic development.
