Socioeconomic status
Socioeconomic status is an artificial term that attempts to summarize an individual's economic and social position in society. In the NORAH Study the Socioeconomic status was determined with the aid of the so-called “Scheuch-Winkler Index”. This is calculated from the three factors: net income, education and qualification and professional position.
