          Abstract

          O presente ensaio teórico buscou analisar os conceitos de “classe social percebida” e “mobilidade social percebida” no contexto da psicologia do envelhecimento. Discute-se a necessidade de compreensão das relações entre as auto-descrições de classe social com aspectos emocionais do envelhecimento, como as suas influências sobre a ocorrência de sintomatologia depressiva na velhice. O texto chama atenção para as possíveis diferenças evolutivas nas auto-descrições de classe e na percepção de mobilidade social no curso da vida e traz reflexões sobre aspectos metodológicos na investigação dessa temática.

              Epidemiologic evidence for the relation between socioeconomic status and depression, obesity, and diabetes.

              Many of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States and other countries are associated with socioeconomic position. The least well-off suffer a disproportionate share of the burden of disease, including depression, obesity, and diabetes. Research suggests that the adverse effects of economic hardship on both mental and physical health and functioning are evident at young ages and persist across the lifecourse. Moreover, these associations are seen across cultures. Data from four large epidemiologic studies on the role of psychological characteristics, social factors, and behaviors in health and disease risk are presented that highlight the striking associations between socioeconomic factors and chronic diseases. Data from these studies demonstrate that the effects of economic disadvantage are cumulative, with the greatest risk of poor mental and physical health seen among those who experienced sustained hardship over time.
