背景代际社会流动被认为是一个对健康有负面影响的压力过程。通过研究自己的社会经济地位，父母的社会经济地位和非稳态负荷（AL）在英国人口的代表性样本之间的关系，我们测试这一假设。方法我们的研究使用了9851名成人参与者的横断面数据，这些参与者参与了理解社会的第2波和第3波。父母的职业类在14岁时，受访者的社会阶层在采访时和AL之间的关系进行了探讨，通过对角参考模型，这使我们能够解开父母的社会阶层，自己的社会阶层和流动过程的影响。AL评分包括以下生物标志物：（1）总胆固醇，（2）高密度脂蛋白胆固醇，（3）甘油三酯，（4）糖化血红蛋白，（5）C-反应蛋白，（6）纤维蛋白原，（7）收缩压，（8）舒张压，（9）静息心率，（10）体重指数和（11）腰围。结果AL在稳定的工人阶级中特别高，在稳定的上层阶级中较低。平均而言，目前的阶级和出身阶级施加约相等的重量，目前AL。然而，社会流动性，无论是否向上或向下，是不是有害的AL。此外，我们发现的证据表明，类的起源可能是不太重要的劳动力市场以外的原因比退休。结论自身社会阶层和父母社会阶层对AL的影响程度相近。然而，我们没有发现任何证据表明，流动轨迹施加任何影响，好或坏，AL。
Background Intergenerational social mobility is hypothesised to be a stressful process that has a negative effect on health. By examining the relationship between own socioeconomic position, parental socioeconomic position and allostatic load (AL) in a representative sample of the British population, we test this hypothesis. Methods Our study uses cross-sectional data from 9851 adult participants of waves 2 and 3 of Understanding Society. The relationship between parental occupational class at age 14 years, respondents' social class at the time of the interview and AL is explored by means of diagonal reference models, which allow us to disentangle the effects of parental social class, own social class and the mobility process. The AL score comprises the following biomarkers: (1) total cholesterol, (2) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, (3) triglycerides, (4) glycated haemoglobin, (5) C-reactive protein, (6) fibrinogen, (7) systolic blood pressure, (8) diastolic blood pressure, (9) resting heart rate, (10) body mass index and (11) waist circumference. Results AL is particularly high among the stable working class and low among the stable upper class. On average, current class and origin class exert about equal weight on current AL. However, social mobility-regardless of whether upwards or downwards-is not detrimental for AL. Furthermore, we find evidence that class of origin may be less important among those outside the labour market for reasons other than retirement. Conclusion Both own social class and parental social class influence AL to a similar extent. However, we find no evidence that mobility trajectories exert any effects, good or bad, on AL.
