[Effects of poverty for health and health behavior of children and adolescents : Results from KiGGS Wave  2].

DISCUSSION: The results confirm that low family income has a significant impact on the health of children and adolescents. Partly, this also applies to their health behavior, whereby the observed differences between the income groups can be attributed mainly to parental education and occupational status. This shows once again that children and adolescents growing up in poverty should be a key target group for prevention and health promotion. PMID: 31529186 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
