Article Synopsis
- Socioeconomic status (SES), particularly measured by family income-to-poverty ratio (PIR), influences mortality rates in adults aged 40 and older, though the exact relationship was previously unclear.
- A study using data from NHANES III analyzed 20,497 individuals and found a non-linear association between PIR and all-cause mortality, identifying an inflection point at a PIR of 3.5.
- Results indicated that lower income correlates with a higher risk of mortality, while middle and high-income groups show significantly lower mortality risks, highlighting the need to address socioeconomic health disparities.
