Data from Health Behaviour in School-aged Children: A WHO Cross-national Collaborative Study conducted in Poland in 2002 on the representative sample of 6383 pupils aged 11-15 yrs, were used to present different indicators of socioeconomic status. Traditional occupational measures are inappropriate for use in research on adolescents because of their limited ability to describe parents' occupation. Researchers involved in HBSC study developed two non-occupational measures that could be useful as social inequalities indicators: perceived family wealth (PFW) and family affluence scale (FAS). FAS scale is well correlated with macroeconomic measures on the national and international level. The percentage of families classified in the low FAS category (less than 3 points on the scale ranged from 0 to 7) is twice higher in Poland than in EU countries (43.1% vs. 18.1%). FAS is easy to obtain, and more objective than PFW. Subjective family wealth is not recommended for subjective health outcome and quality of life assessment. For different health outcome and various populations the shape and strength of relationship between socioeconomic status and health or health related behaviors may change.
来自“学龄儿童健康行为：世界卫生组织跨国合作研究”的数据，该研究于2002年在波兰对6383名11至15岁的学生代表性样本进行，用于呈现社会经济地位的不同指标。传统的职业衡量方法不适用于青少年研究，因为它们描述父母职业的能力有限。参与“学龄儿童健康行为”研究的人员开发了两种非职业衡量方法，可作为社会不平等指标：感知家庭财富（PFW）和家庭富裕量表（FAS）。FAS量表与国家和国际层面的宏观经济指标高度相关。在波兰，被归类为低FAS类别（量表得分低于3分，范围为0至7）的家庭比例比欧盟国家高出两倍（43.1%对18.1%）。FAS易于获取，且比PFW更客观。主观家庭财富不建议用于主观健康结果和生活质量评估。对于不同的健康结果和不同人群，社会经济地位与健康或健康相关行为之间关系的形式和强度可能会发生变化。
