“…Many studies support the hypothesis that education has a distinctive effect on physiological processes associated with health, independently of known risk factors.Objectives In this study, we aimed to determine whether the biological embodiment of education could be part of the observed social inequalities in BC risk. We focused on biomarkers from several physiological systems examined individually, and jointly through a biological health score (BHS).Design Prospective cohort study.Setting This study, based on a subsample of the French E3N cohort, included women with biological data from four nested case–control studies.Participants The study included 3048 postmenopausal women (17% BC).Main outcome measures We first evaluated the association between educational attainment and each biomarker, separately (N=11) and by combining them into a BHS, indicative of an augmented biological health hazard when elevated. …”
