Early life circumstances crucial in determining lifelong health and wealth.
This paper explores how different aspects of a person's social and economic status, like education, money, job position, and race, can affect their health. The researchers found that the link between socioeconomic status and health can vary depending on these factors and at different stages of life. They also discovered that good health can lead to better financial status in adulthood, especially in terms of wealth. The study shows that there are many different ways in which social and economic factors can impact a person's health, challenging the idea that socioeconomic status is a simple concept.
