目标。我们调查了社会经济地位（SEP）与慢性疾病危险因素的关系，以及阿根廷省级城市化模式的异质性。我们使用广义估计方程来确定SEP与体重指数、高血压、糖尿病、低体力活动和吃水果和蔬菜之间的关系，并通过2005年具有全国代表性的横断面调查数据来检验城市化的异质性。所有的估计都经过年龄调整和性别分层。在生活在城市较少地区的男性中，高等教育要么与风险因素无关，要么与风险因素相反。在更多的城市地区，高等教育与更好的风险因素相关
Objectives. We investigated associations of socioeconomic position (SEP) with chronic disease risk factors, and heterogeneity in this patterning by provincial-level urbanicity in Argentina.Methods. We used generalized estimating equations to determine the relationship between SEP and body mass index, high blood pressure, diabetes, low physical activity, and eating fruit and vegetables, and examined heterogeneity by urbanicity with nationally representative, cross-sectional survey data from 2005. All estimates were age adjusted and gender stratified.Results. Among men living in less urban areas, higher education was either not associated with the risk factors or associated adversely. In more urban areas, higher education was associated with better risk factor profiles (P
