We use data from the Whitehall II Study to examine the joint evolution of health status and economic status over the life course. We study the links between health and socioeconomic status in childhood and health and employment status at older ages. We find early life socioeconomic status is significantly associated with health over the life course, even though selection into Whitehall mutes the effects of childhood. In addition, we find that current position in the civil service is not associated with future self-assessed health, but current self-assessed health is significantly associated with promotion in the civil service.
我们使用白厅II研究的数据来考察健康状况和经济状况在生命历程中的共同演变。我们研究童年时期健康与社会经济地位之间的联系以及老年时期健康与就业状况之间的联系。我们发现，尽管进入白厅的筛选减弱了童年因素的影响，但生命早期的社会经济地位在整个生命历程中与健康显著相关。此外，我们发现，目前在公务员系统中的职位与未来的自我评估健康状况无关，但目前的自我评估健康状况与在公务员系统中的晋升显著相关。
