本文对我国社会经济地位与体质健康的研究进行了综述。童年.社会经济地位与儿童健康之间存在梯度关系，因此，社会经济地位每增加一分，儿童的健康就会得到相应的好处。在这篇文章中，我讨论了这种关联背后的心理社会机制，并认为，重要的是要利用知识的SES和健康之间的关系如何随着年龄的变化，告知一个发展合理的搜索这种关系的调解人。此外，在儿童一生中的不同阶段，社会经济地位可能对健康产生不同的影响。我主张一个跨学科的方法来寻找调解人，这将使研究人员了解社会，邻里，家庭的特点，以及个别儿童参与的过程中连接SES和儿童的健康。
This article provides an, overview of research on socioeconomic status (SES) and physical health in. childhood. SES has a gradient relationship with children's health, such that for each incremental increase in SES, there is a comparable benefit in children's health. In this article, I discuss psychosocial mechanisms underlying this association and argue that it is important to utilize knowledge about how the relationship between SES and health changes with age to inform a developmentally plausible search for mediators of this relationship. Furthermore, SES at different points in a child's lifetime may have different effects on health. I advocate an interdisciplinary approach to searching for mediators that would allow researchers to understand how characteristics of society, the neighborhood, the family, and the individual child are involved in the processes linking SES and children's health.
