DOIAbstract
In middle-aged and older samples, perceived subjective socioeconomic status (SSS) is a marker of social rank that is associated with elevated inflammation and cardiovascular disease risk independent of objective indicators of socioeconomic status (oSES). Whether SSS is uniquely associated with elevated inflammation during young adulthood and whether these linkages differ by sex has not been studied using a nationally representative sample of young adults
