The goal of this review was to determine the direction of associations between SES and health behaviors during the period of adolescence.
We searched the PsychInfo and Pubmed databases for studies that measured the association between SES and cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, marijuana use, diet, and physical activity in adolescents between 10- and 21-years old.
Associations between SES and health behaviors conformed to two patterns. First, low SES was associated with poorer diets, less physical activity, and greater cigarette smoking. Second, there was no clear pattern of associations between SES and alcohol consumption or marijuana use.
Results from this review indicate that, although some associations between SES and health behaviors exist during adolescence, the associations are not as robust as those in adulthood. Efforts to curb poor diet, inactivity, and smoking behaviors should target low SES adolescents, whereas efforts to curb teen drinking and marijuana use may be useful across the SES spectrum.
本综述的目的是确定青少年时期社会经济地位（SES）与健康行为之间关联的方向。
我们在PsychInfo和Pubmed数据库中搜索了相关研究，这些研究测量了10至21岁青少年的SES与吸烟、饮酒、使用大麻、饮食和体育活动之间的关联。
SES与健康行为之间的关联符合两种模式。首先，低SES与较差的饮食、较少的体育活动以及更多的吸烟行为相关。其次，SES与饮酒或使用大麻之间没有明确的关联模式。
本综述结果表明，尽管青少年时期SES与健康行为之间存在一些关联，但这些关联不如成年期的关联那么强烈。遏制不良饮食、缺乏运动和吸烟行为的努力应针对低SES青少年，而遏制青少年饮酒和使用大麻的努力可能在整个SES范围内都有用。
