چکیده :
This paper proposes a benchmark for comparing SES gradients across countries, based on
gross domestic product apportioned to members of differing wealth categories within
countries. Using this approach, we estimate absolute wealth in 360 populations in 36
developing countries and model its relationship with overweight (BMI 25) among nonpregnant
women ages 18–49. A simple model based on absolute wealth alone strongly
predicts odds of overweight (), a relationship that holds both between countries
and between different groups in the same country (10 populations for each of 36
countries). Moreover, world region modifies this relationship, accounting for an additional
22% of variance (). This allows us to extract a basic pattern: rising rates of
overweight in lower and middle income countries closely track increasing economic
resources, and the shape of that gradient differs by region in systematic ways.
