DiscussionWe found clear socioeconomic gradients in 24-hour movement patterns in individuals aged 46 years, with marked differences between weekdays and weekends. Compared with higher SEP groups (ie, higher educational qualifications, occupational class, income or living in a lower deprivation area), those with lower SEP spent more time standing, moving and walking and sat less during weekdays; these SEP differences were reversed on weekends.

AbstractSocioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) persist in high-income countries despite marked overall declines in CVD-related morbidity and mortality. After decades of research, the field has struggled to unequivocally answer a crucial question: is the association between low socioeconomic position (SEP) and the development of CVD causal?

Adolescent cognitive abilityCognitive ability was measured in each cohort using validated tests capturing multiple domains of cognition. In the NLSY-79 and NLSY-97, this was tested using the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), which participants sat in 1980 (age 15 to 23) and 1998 to 1999 (age 13 to 20), respectively. For both studies, and to ensure comparability with other cohorts, we used age-normed centile scores (range 0 to 100) provided with the data.
