关于青少年健康不平等趋势的信息很少，特别是在国际一级。我们研究了青少年健康五个领域的社会经济不平等的长期趋势，以及社会经济不平等与国家财富和收入不平等的关系。方法我们对学龄儿童健康行为研究的数据进行了时间序列分析，该研究于2002年、2006年和2010年在34个北美和欧洲国家进行了横断面调查（共收集了492788份数据）。我们使用社会经济地位（学龄儿童健康行为家庭富裕量表）和健康（每周体育活动天数、身体质量指数Z得分[zBMI]、0-5分的心理和身体症状频率，以及0-10分的生活满意度）的个人数据来检查健康趋势和健康方面的社会经济不平等。我们还调查了健康和健康不平等的国际差异是否与人均收入和收入不平等有关。从2002年到2010年，平均体力活动水平(每周3.90至4.08天
Background Information about trends in adolescent health inequalities is scarce, especially at an international level. We examined secular trends in socioeconomic inequality in five domains of adolescent health and the association of socioeconomic inequality with national wealth and income inequality.Methods We undertook a time-series analysis of data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study, in which cross-sectional surveys were done in 34 North American and European countries in 2002, 2006, and 2010 (pooled n 492 788). We used individual data for socioeconomic status (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Family Affluence Scale) and health (days of physical activity per week, body-mass index Z score [zBMI], frequency of psychological and physical symptoms on 0-5 scale, and life satisfaction scored 0-10 on the Cantril ladder) to examine trends in health and socioeconomic inequalities in health. We also investigated whether international differences in health and health inequalities were associated with per person income and income inequality.Findings From 2002 to 2010, average levels of physical activity (3.90 to 4.08 days per week; p
