In Greenland, health inequality has been shown to exist among social groups, regionally and according to urbanization, and between Inuit and migrants from Denmark. The purpose of the study was to compare the changes in health inequality from 1993 to 2018 according to three measures of social position, i.e. a socioeconomic measure (household assets), a measure of urbanization and a composite sociocultural index. We hypothesized that social inequality in health increased parallel to the increasing economic inequality in Greenland. The sample was based on four population health surveys conducted among the Inuit in Greenland in 1993, 2005–2010, 2014 and 2018. The total number of interviews was 9024 and the total number of individuals interviewed was 5829, as participants were invited to several surveys as part of a cohort. As statistical measure of social disparity we used the slope index of inequality (SII) adjusted for age and sex. Analyses were performed with daily smoking, suicidal thoughts and obesity as health outcomes. Daily smoking was most prevalent among participants with low social position whereas obesity was most prevalent among participants with high social position. With household assets as indicator of social position, the results showed high and increasing social inequality for both daily smoking and obesity. Social inequality for daily smoking increased over time also for urbanization and the sociocultural index. The hypothesis that social inequality increased over time was thus confirmed for daily smoking and obesity but not for suicidal thoughts.

Establishing whether maternal social support may have an inter-generational positive impact on their child's physical health will provide important information for developing potential interventions and policies. Elevated body mass index (BMI) is one indicator of child health that is linked to increased risk for cardiovascular disease and other morbidities later in life. There is some evidence that maternal social support is associated with improved child and adolescent weight status; however, no studies have examined whether specific aspects of social support are more impactful than others or whether support availability is differentially impactful across developmental stages. The present study examined whether maternal perceptions of specific types of social support (i.e., financial support, non-monetary instrumental support, partner emotional support, and having a close supportive contact) were associated with lower adolescent BMI z-scores using longitudinal data collected over a 15-year period from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (n = 3146), which includes a high proportion of families experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage. Findings from linear regression models using specific types of social support measured across six waves of data collected over a 15-year period indicated that maternal perceptions of greater financial support were associated with lower adolescent BMI z-scores at 15 years (B = −0.05, 95% CI: −0.10, −0.004, <em>P</em> = 0.04), while the other types of support were not. Additional timing analyses demonstrated that perceived financial support during late childhood to adolescence was associated with lower adolescent BMI z-scores (B = −0.06, 95% CI: −0.11, −0.01, P = 0.01), whereas associations between support during infancy and early childhood were not detected.

This study extends prior research to evaluate how parental death in early life is tied to accelerated epigenetic aging, a potentially important biological mechanism from which social and environmental exposures impact age-related health. We used data from the 2016 Venous Blood Study (VBS), a component of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), to examine the association between parental death in early life and accelerated epigenetic aging as measured by three widely used epigenetic clocks (PCPhenoAge, PCGrimAge, and DunedinPACE). We also assessed whether some of the association is explained by differences in educational attainment, depressive symptoms, and smoking behavior. Methods included a series of linear regression models and formal mediation analysis. Findings indicated that parental death in early life is associated with accelerated epigenetic aging for PCPhenoAge and DunedinPACE. The inclusion of educational attainment, depressive symptoms, and smoking behavior attenuated this association, with formal mediation analysis providing additional support for these observations. Parental death in early life may be one of the most difficult experiences an individual may face.
