摘要: Abstract Understanding how childhood and adolescent health may affect schooling is important for understanding the socioeconomic ramifications of poor early-life as well relations between adult health. Using three waves U.S. longitudinal data with extensive covariate information on a national sample 2368 American children aged 5–14 at baseline, we used regression methods to investigate patterns general status over 10-year period relate completed years end follow-up. As sensitivity analysis, sibling fixed effects models help control differences stemming from familial or community factors shared siblings. The effect appeared accumulate time, was more evident among who were older baseline. Among participants 5–7, 8–10, 11–14 average in all 3 those good 0.02 ([95% confidence interval] −0.31, 0.35), −0.50 (−0.88, −0.12), −1.28 (−1.78, −0.78), respectively. Point estimates very similar. Our results document emergence compounding time health-related disparities young ages, suggesting vicious cycle educational outcomes. Future research better characterizing affects progress will ultimately be necessary developing effective interventions reduce disparities.
