OBJECTIVE
The study documents whether socioeconomic status (SES) differentials in biological risk are more widely observed and larger in the United States than Taiwan.
METHOD
Data come from the Social Environment and Biomarkers of Aging Study in Taiwan and the Midlife in the United States study. We use regression analyses to test whether four summary measures of biological risk are significantly related to categorical measures of education, income, and subjective social status among four country-sex-specific subgroups.
RESULTS
Physiological dysregulation is significantly, negatively related to SES in both the United States and Taiwan, especially for males. The prevalence and magnitude of the relationships are similar in the two countries: 12 of 24 possible SES-biological summary score relationships are significant in the United States and 11 of 24 are significant in Taiwan.
DISCUSSION
Overall, SES differentials in biological risk do not appear to be more widely observed or larger in the United States than in Taiwan.
目的
本研究记录了在美国，生物风险方面的社会经济地位（SES）差异是否比台湾地区观察到的更广泛且更大。
方法
数据来自台湾地区的社会环境与衰老生物标志物研究以及美国中年研究。我们使用回归分析来检验生物风险的四项综合指标是否与四个国家 - 性别特定亚组中的教育、收入和主观社会地位的分类指标显著相关。
结果
在美国和台湾地区，生理失调均与SES显著负相关，尤其是对男性而言。两国这种关系的患病率和程度相似：在美国，24种可能的SES - 生物综合评分关系中有12种显著，在台湾地区24种中有11种显著。
讨论
总体而言，在美国，生物风险方面的SES差异似乎并不比台湾地区观察到的更广泛或更大。
