Abstract

ESPARZA OLCINA, Mª Jesús  and  FLORES VILLAR, Sergio. The greater the child poverty, the worse physical and mental health. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.87, pp.323-325.  Epub Jan 24, 2022. ISSN 1139-7632.

Authors' conclusions:

the situation of chronic poverty in childhood affects 1 in 5 children in the United Kingdom. Exposure to poverty at an early age is related to a worse physical and mental health situation.

Reviewers' conclusions:

in a cohort of 10 652 children under the age of 14 recruited between 2000 and 2022 in the United Kingdom, called the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), those exposed to poverty showed a higher risk of mental health problems, obesity and chronic diseases.

Keywords : Child health parameters; Child mental health; Child poverty; Childhood obesity.
