For each health indicator, we measured absolute and relative socioeconomic inequality by prevalence differences and odds ratios between low and high socioeconomic groups.Results: There was socioeconomic inequality in thirteen health indicators, e.g., the OR (95% CI) for overweight in low vs. high socioeconomic groups was 2.22 (1.95-2.49). This social inequality persisted across health indicators throughout the study period with two deviations: Underweight was not associated with socioeconomic background and drunkenness was persistently most prevalent in higher socioeconomic groups.Conclusion: The political efforts to reduce socioeconomic inequality in health seems to have failed. It is important to improve monitoring of adolescent health and implement improved policies to tackle socioeconomic inequality in adolescent health.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"69 ","pages":"1607698"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11634612/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142818083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed a qualitative content analysis.Results: We included in our analysis the lived experiences of 15 patients and 21 of their relatives.

The random-effects model (when I2 ≥ 50%) or fixed effect model (I2 < 50%) was used.Results: 29 studies were included in this review. Compared to healthy controls (HCs), patients with CLD had a higher incidence of mild adverse events (RR = 1.60, p < 0.001), while the incidence of severe adverse events was similar (RR = 1.08, p = 0.92). Seropositivity rates of three antibodies in patients were lower than in HCs [neutralizing antibody (RR = 0.86, p = 0.002), anti-spike antibody (RR = 0.97, p = 0.06) and anti-receptor binding domain antibody (RR = 0.95, p = 0.04)].
