Low socioeconomic status increases the risk of development of stroke by 67%, it also has negative influence on its severity and outcomes. The mortality among stroke survivors with low socioeconomic status is higher by 39% in comparison to those with high socioeconomic status. The link between socioeconomic status and increased risk of stroke and its poor outcomes could be explained by higher frequency of vascular risk factors, lower compliance, late presentation to hospital after a stroke onset and lower access to high-quality specialized medical care in some countries. Socioeconomic factors should be taken into account while planning stroke prevention measures.

Intergenerational mobility, race, and allostatic load: Diminished health returns for Black older adults?
SSM Popul Health
March 2025
Department of Sociology, Purdue University, United States.
Although socioeconomic status is salient for health and well-being across the life course, previous research indicates that the social gradient in health is racialized and that Black adults experience diminishing health returns on higher socioeconomic status. We extend this literature by examining whether there are diminishing physiological health returns on intergenerational mobility groups for Black adults and, if so, whether diminishing health returns vary across age. We use six waves of data from the Health and Retirement Study (N = 11,846) and mixed effects models; and average marginal effects are used to interpret the race by intergenerational mobility interaction.

Purpose: This nationwide Danish cohort study compared overall survival (OS) between non-Western immigrant patients and Danish-born patients with lymphoma in Denmark. Furthermore, differences in clinical and socioeconomic variables were compared, and mediators of OS differences were explored to explain possible outcome differences.
Patients And Methods: The study included a total of 540 non-Western patients and 16,294 Danish-born patients diagnosed with lymphoma in the period 2000-2020.

Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Background And Objectives: Medicare coverage decisions are complex. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provides a hotline, handbook, and website to help Medicare beneficiaries understand their benefits and coverage options, yet it is unclear what factors affect beneficiary use of these resources. We examined limited English speaking and English reading proficiency status as predictors of CMS Medicare informational resource use in a nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries.
