Researching health inequalities in adolescents: the development of the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) family affluence scale.
Candace Currie,Michal Molcho,William F. Boyce,Bjørn Evald Holstein,Torbjørn Torsheim,Matthias Richter +5 more
TL;DR: An overview of HBSC papers published to date that examine FAS-related socioeconomic inequalities in health and health behaviour suggests consistent inequalities in self-reported health, psychosomatic symptoms, physical activity and aspects of eating habits at both the individual and country level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ian Janssen,Peter T. Katzmarzyk,William F. Boyce,Carine Vereecken,C. Mulvihill,Chris Roberts,Candace Currie,William Pickett +7 more
TL;DR: The adolescent obesity epidemic is a global issue and increasing physical activity participation and decreasing television viewing should be the focus of strategies aimed at preventing and treating overweight and obesity in youth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between Overweight and Obesity with Bullying Behaviors in School-Aged Children
TL;DR: Overweight and obese school-aged children are more likely to be the victims and perpetrators of bullying behaviors than their normal-weight peers, and these tendencies may hinder the short- and long-term social and psychological development of overweight and obese youth.
Journal ArticleDOI
The family affluence scale as a measure of national wealth: validation of an adolescent self-report measure
TL;DR: Examination of the criterion and construct validity of the FAS as a measure of national absolute wealth in 35 countries suggests that FAS can be used with confidence in aggregate analyses of HBSC data that focus on relationships between SES and adolescent health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of individual- and area-level measures of socioeconomic status on obesity, unhealthy eating, and physical inactivity in Canadian adolescents
TL;DR: Individual- and area-level SES measures were independently related to obesity, which suggests that both individual and environmental approaches may be required to curtail adolescent obesity.
