[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST Pcj7fR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Study objective-To assess the influences related to social mobility, particularly health related behaviours, as one potential explanation for the social class variation in health among adults. Design-The study is based on questionnaire data from the Adolescent Health and Lifestyle Surveys of 1985,1987, and 1989. Setting-The whole of Finland. Participants-A representative sample of 8355 adolescents. The response rate was 79%. Measurement and main results-The relation between social mobility and health related behaviours among 16 and 18 year old young people was studied. The measure of social mobility was based on a combination of the social class of origin and achieved social position measured by the present educational status, educational attainment, and labour market position. Three mobility groups were constructed : the downwardly mobile, the upwardly mobile and the stable. Health related behaviours in an upwardly or downwardly mobile group were compared with a stable group from the same social class of origin by calculating relative risks (RR). RRs were assessed by calculating age and sex adjusted rate ratios approximating a Mantel-Haenszel estimate. In logistic regression analyses the independent effects of the social class of origin and the achieved social position were investigated. (...)
