OBJECTIVES: To analyze risk factors for overweight among adolescents grouped in three different socioeconomic levels. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 1779 adolescents aged 11 to 17 years, grouped according to socioeconomic status (low, middle, and high). Parents reported their own anthropometric data and the adolescents had their anthropometric data taken by trained researchers, and completed three questionnaires. RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight was 16.7%, 23.8%, and 26.3% in low, middle and high socioeconomic status, respectively (P= 0.001). In all socioeconomic status, parent's overweight was associated with adolescent overweight (all P< 0.05). The students in both high (PR= 1.90) and middle socioeconomic status (PR= 2.00) from private schools were associated with overweight, and the students from low socioeconomic level to sedentary behavior (PR= 2.25) and high ingestion of fried food (PR= 2.35). CONCLUSION: In each socioeconomic status the overweight was associated with different risk factors in different ways, except for parents overweight.

This study examined the concurrent validity of the Snijders-Oomen Nonverbal Intelligence Test–Revised compared to the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence–Revised. Subjects were 25 4-yr.-olds of lower, lower-middle, and middle socioeconomic status from both urban and rural areas of Appalachia. The SON–R IQs correlated .93 and .87 with the WPPSI–R Performance IQs and Full Scale IQs, respectively. The correlation of .45 with Verbal IQs was not significant.

The hypothesis that 20 young children from a middle-SES school would score higher in verbal intelligence assessed by the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test than 20 young children from a low-SES school was not supported. Data showed that racial differences existed in the verbal intelligence of these kindergarteners in a school undergoing racial integration. This finding deserves consideration in programs of rapidly integrating schools and neighborhoods.

Middle Socioeconomic Status

Two groups of children were compared to determine the effects of early middle ear pathology on the development of auditory perceptual skills and academic achievement. The conductive loss (CL) group consisted of 15 children, aged seven to nine years, with histories of middle ear pathology. The normal control (NC) group was matched for age, sex, and socioeconomic status and had negative histories of middle ear pathology. Both groups were from a suburban community of primarily middle socioeconomic status. A test battery consisting of 12 auditory perceptual tests as well as measures of academic achievement, non-verbal intelligence and visual perception was administered. Results showed that the overall performance of the CL group on the test battery was significantly lower than that of the NC group. Performance of the CL group was also significantly lower in specific auditory perceptual areas. No significant differences were found on tests of non-verbal intelligence or visual perception. Although scores were not significantly different on academic achievement tests, school records indicated that the CL loss group had received more special support services than the controls. This investigation suggests that early middle ear pathology may produce secondary effects that can persist well beyond the episodes of temporary conductive hearing loss.
