Sigo con el tema de mi pregunta anterior. Gracias de antemano, colegas:
Furthermore, as Link and Phelan (1995) note, the true value of socioeconomic resources is that they can be deployed instrumentally to combat an array of health risks. This being the case, parents’ socioeconomic status (SES) should create unequal exposure to the obesiogenic structural factors and, for those of privilege, ***mediate*** their effects. Recent research documents a significant association between parents’ SES, measured as either family income or parents’ educational attainment, and overweight during childhood and adolescence (Strauss and Knight 1999; Goodman et al. 2003; Haas et al. 2003).

menguar/aliviar/suavizar los efectos (de los factores estructurales...)
A mí me parece que los SES interceden para que los padres que gozan del privilegio de un estatus socioeconómico elevado no se vean tan afectados por dichos factores.
Tal vez me equivoque en mi apreciación...
