Conference Theme: Global Epidemiology in a Changing Environment: the Circumpolar PerspectiveTuesday Poster SessionINTRODUCTION: While social mobility, particularly downward movement in social hierarchy, has been associated with adiposity in long-term industrialized populations, evidence from recently transitioned populations is inconsistent. In a recently developed population from Hong Kong we examined the association of social mobility, assessed using life course socio-economic position (SEP) trajectories, with general adiposity, proxied by body mass index (BMI) and central adiposity, proxied by waist circumference and waist-hip ratio (WHR). METHODS: In a cross-sectional study of 2,965 adults from 1,554 households, aged 20-80 years from th...
