AbstractThis study included two groups of 37 children, one of twins and the other singletons at 4 years of age. All subjects had birthweights under 1500 grams and individuals in the groups were matched for birth date, gender and birthweight. Except when parental socio-economic status was taken into account, no significant differences between twins and singletons were observed on any of the results of The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, nor were there any when the twins and singletons were divided into groups with birthweights < 1000 grams and 1000 to 1499 grams. When cognitive scores were analysed in relation to socio-economic status, there were significant differences in the whole population between subjects in the high and low socioeconomic status groups, with higher mean scores for the former. Comparison of the twins and singletons with parents in the lower socio-economic status group did not produce any significant differences but in the case of the upper socio-economic status group the singletons scored significantly better that the twins in Quantitative Reasoning and on the Composite Score. No significant differences were demonstrated in the clinical assessment of speech, language or behaviour. So far as general life considerations and health were concerned only one significant difference was found and this was for the number of siblings born subsequently, with more born in the singleton families. This study did not provide support for the view that singletons and twins differ significantly in the areas considered.

Abstract BackgroundSocio-economic status affects many health-related outcomes and one of the most important factors is the pattern and quality of nutrition. Thus, this study is carried out to investigate the effect of socio-economic status on the quality of nutrition based on healthy Eating Index (HEI).MethodsThis is a population-based study using the baseline data from Ravansar Non-Communicable Disease cohort study. HEI calculated from Food Frequency Questionnaire. The quality of nutrition was assessed based on HEI-2015 which evaluates 13 food groups.ResultsThe mean of age of the participants was 48.02 (SD = ±8.27) years. The median and mean of HEI in the studied population were 53 and 53.69 (SD = ±7.34), respectively. Women, the educated, city dwellers, people of higher socioeconomic classes, and non-smokers had greater odds of having higher quality of nutrition. The worst score among all components of HEI were for the refined grains and then the whole grain, and the highest score was obtained for the tatal protein foods. ConclusionsDue to low nutritional quality and its adverse effects, especially in people with low socioeconomic status and villagers, the quality of nutrition, especially in the poor, should be promoted with proper interventions so as to reduce disparity in the society.

The results of the data analysis showed that the correlation coefficient was - 0.595 with a significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05). It showed that there is a negative relationship between self esteem and social anxiety. The results of this study indicate that the contributions made by the variable of self esteem on social anxiety was 35.5 percent, while the remaining 64.5 percent was influenced by other factors that were not examined. From these results, it is concluded that the hypothesis, which stated that there is a negative relationship between the self esteem and social anxiety, is acceptable.

Historical analyses, as well as more contemporary examples of disability and work, show that the experience of disability is always culturally and historically mediated, but that class—in the sense of economic status—plays a major role in the way impairment is experienced as disabling. Although there is little published on disability history in India, the history of the Indian experience of caste disability demonstrates the centrality of work in the social and economic expression of stigma and marginalization. An Indian perspective supports the challenge to the dominant Western view that modern concepts of disability have their origins in the Industrial Revolution. Linkage between disability, incapacity to work, and low socioeconomic status are evident in India, which did not undergo the workplace changes associated with industrialization in the West.

In Reply.— Casey's point is well taken. An association between socioeconomic status and infant outcome has been documented. Our study and control groups were not matched on that factor, but on age, race, and gestational age at birth. A retrospective analysis of the socioeconomic status of study and control mothers indicates that they are all of low socioeconomic status (Hollingshead groups 4 and 5) and that there is no significant difference between the study and control groups.
