About The Study: Low neighborhood socioeconomic status was associated with premature mortality in this study. The risk of premature mortality was greatest among individuals experiencing persistently low neighborhood socioeconomic status from young to middle adulthood. Place-based interventions that target neighborhood social determinants of health should be designed from a life course perspective that accounts for early-life socioeconomic inequality.
