Diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases in Germany and Europe - results of the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS 3, 2018 - 2020).

Method: Based on EHIS 3, age-standardised prevalences of three disease groups and two indicators of self-assessed health among those affected were presented for Germany ( = 22,708) and the average of 29 European countries ( = 301,960).

[The Importance of Socioeconomic Status in the Occurrence of Mental Health Problems in 11- to 17-Year-Old Girls and Boys in Germany: Results of KiGGS Wave 2 (2014-2017)].

Aim Of The Study: The aim of the study was to investigate the distribution pattern of mental health problems (emotional problems, conduct problems, peer problems, hyperactivity) among different socioeconomic groups of 11- to 17-year-old girls and boys.

Methods: Data for this study were obtained from the "German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents KiGGS Wave 2" (2012-2014, n=15,023). The data on 11- to 17-year-old girls and boys (n=6599) was analyzed overall and separately for two age groups.

This study aimed to investigate the association of socioeconomic status with private and professional contact reductions in the first COVID-19 wave in Germany.

Socioeconomic Status, Overweight, and Obesity in Childhood and Adolescence—Secular Trends From the Nationwide German Kiggs Study.

Public green spaces have a high potential for a positive impact on people's health and wellbeing, especially in urban areas. Studies on environmental justice indicate socially unequal access possibilities to urban green spaces. This article presents results on associations between individual socioeconomic position (SEP) and walking time from home to public green spaces in young people living in urban areas with more than 20,000 inhabitants in Germany.

[Improving access to migrant populations for epidemiological research-guided interviews with German experts].

Therefore, the Robert Koch Institute initiated the project "Improving health monitoring in migrant populations (IMIRA)" to improve the inclusion of PMB into the federal health monitoring.

Objective: The objective of this article is to identify challenges and strategies in accessing migrant populations with epidemiological research.

Intergenerational Educational Pathways and Self-Rated Health in Adolescence and Young Adulthood: Results of the German KiGGS Cohort.

Health differences in social mobility are often analysed by income differences or different occupational positions. However, in early adulthood many young people still have very diffuse income situations and are not always fully integrated into the labour market despite many having finished school. This article focusses on the link between intergenerational educational pathways and self-rated health (SRH) among young adults considering their SRH in adolescence.

Socioeconomic differences in the health behaviour of children and adolescents in Germany. Results of the cross-sectional KiGGS Wave 2 study.

Childhood and adolescence are key determining stages for health behaviour in the life course. Frequently, health-related attitudes and patterns of behaviour that develop at young age are also maintained at adult age. As studies show, already during childhood and adolescence, patterns of health risk behaviour are more common in certain population groups.

[Differences in subjective health, mental health, and health behavior among 11- to 17-year-olds at secondary schools in Germany : Results of the German health interview and examination survey for children and adolescents: first follow-up (KiGGS Wave 1)].

Background: Social inequalities in health can already be found among children and adolescents to the disadvantage of socially deprived population groups. This paper aims to detect, whether differences in subjective health, mental health and health behavior among young people are due to the secondary school type attended and whether these associations exist independently of the family's socioeconomic position (SEP).

Methods: The data basis was the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS Wave 1, 2009-2012).

[Trends in educational inequalities in smoking among adolescents in Germany : Evidence from four population-based studies].

The aim of our study was to examine how educational inequalities in adolescent smoking behaviour have developed over time.
