Figure 1. Cohort trend in physiological dysregulation and childhood Gini coefficient.

Figure 1.

Notes: Date source for physiological dysregulation is National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1988–2018. Physiological dysregulation is summary index of nine biomarkers including seven markers of metabolic functions, one marker of chronic inflammation (i.e., low serum albumin), and one additional marker (i.e., urinary function-creatinine clearance). The cohort trend is obtained from the random effect coefficients of cohort based on Poisson mixed effects models with fixed effect coefficient of age and random effect coefficients of cohort and period. Gini coefficient during childhood (ages 0–18) is computed based on Internal Revenue Service income data (Frank, 2014). The childhood Gini coefficient is the average of Gini coefficients each cohort is exposed to between ages of 0 and 18.
