Background The inverse association between education and obesity was previously found in numerous studies. However, education level per se is not directly related to obesity. Instead, other factors linked to educational disadvantage are likely to serve as mediators of the association. Lower educational levels are associated with poor lifestyle, economic disadvantage, and mental health problems, which all are risk factors of increased adiposity. Purpose We hypothesize the potential mediating role of lifestyle, socioeconomic and mental health factors in the association between education and increased adiposity, thus this study aims to assess diverse mediators in the educational disparities in adiposity. Methods Cross-sectional population-based sample from Czechia included 2154 25-64 years old subjects (2013-2014, 54.6% women). Educational attainment was classified as high, middle, and low. Adiposity was assessed as a latent variable constructed based on four main available adiposity biomarkers - body fat percentage, BMI, waist circumference, and visceral fat. The mediation potential of 8 factors (unhealthy dietary behaviour, alcohol intake, smoking, sedentary behaviours, income, stress, depression, and quality of life) was assessed in age-adjusted sex-specific simple and multiple mediation models. Results The negative direct effect of education on adiposity was significant in all investigated models. In a simple mediation model (each potential mediator tested separately), in men, the indirect effect significantly operated via sedentary behaviour, while in women via dietary ... |
