宏观结构特征，如生活成本和州一级的扶贫计划，与大脑发育和心理健康方面的社会经济差距的大小有关。在这项研究中，我们利用了来自17个州的10，633名9-11岁青少年（5115名女性）的青少年大脑和认知发展（ABCD）研究的数据。较低的收入与较小的海马体积和较高的内在精神病理学。这些关联在生活成本较高的州更强。然而，在为低收入家庭提供更慷慨现金福利的高生活成本州，海马体积的社会经济差异减少了34%，因此家庭收入与海马体积的关联与生活成本最低的州相似。我们观察到了类似的内在精神病理学模式。州一级的扶贫计划和生活成本可能会与其他与神经发育和心理健康相关的因素混淆。然而，这些模式对许多国家级的社会、经济和政治特征的控制是稳健的。这些研究结果表明，国家一级的宏观结构特征，包括慷慨的反贫困政策，是潜在的相关解决低收入与大脑发育和心理健康的关系。低收入与海马体积较小和心理健康问题有关。在这里，作者表明，这种关联在美国较便宜或社会安全网较强的地区较弱。
Macrostructural characteristics, such as cost of living and state-level anti-poverty programs relate to the magnitude of socioeconomic disparities in brain development and mental health. In this study we leveraged data from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) study from 10,633 9-11 year old youth (5115 female) across 17 states. Lower income was associated with smaller hippocampal volume and higher internalizing psychopathology. These associations were stronger in states with higher cost of living. However, in high cost of living states that provide more generous cash benefits for low-income families, socioeconomic disparities in hippocampal volume were reduced by 34%, such that the association of family income with hippocampal volume resembled that in the lowest cost of living states. We observed similar patterns for internalizing psychopathology. State-level anti-poverty programs and cost of living may be confounded with other factors related to neurodevelopment and mental health. However, the patterns were robust to controls for numerous state-level social, economic, and political characteristics. These findings suggest that state-level macrostructural characteristics, including the generosity of anti-poverty policies, are potentially relevant for addressing the relationship of low income with brain development and mental health. Lower income is associated with smaller hippocampal volume and mental health problems. Here, the authors show that this association is weaker in areas of the United States that are less expensive or that have a stronger social safety net.
