Search for: [Abstract = "childhood \(women\) were significantly associated with respiratory functions. Higher SES was associated with higher average FVC and FEVl. Upward social mobility and moderate or high SES both at childhood and at adulthood were significantly related to higher FEV1 and FVC compared with low SES both at childhood and at adulthood or downward social mobility. The ecological study in 66 sub\-regions of Poland, showed that SES, and an increase in SES over time were related to a decrease in mortality from respiratory disease. Conclusion\: At the population level, SES and its change were significantly associated with mortality from respiratory diseases. At the individual level, higher SES in adulthood was associated with better respiratory function in men and women, while the relationship between SES in childhood and respiratory function was significant only in women. High life course SES in both childhood and adulthood, and an increase in SES between childhood and adulthood was associated with better respiratory function in adulthood. Impaired respiratory function was associated with a higher cardiovascular risk, which may be pardy explained by the inverse relationship between lung function and obesity, hypertension and diabetes."]
