Health in older age is shaped by early-life socioeconomic circumstances (SECs) and sex. However, whether and why these factors interact is unclear. We examined a cultural explanation of this interaction by distinguishing cultural and material aspects of SECs in the context of physical activity-a major determinant of health. We used data from 56,331 adults between 50 and 96 years old from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), a 13-year, large-scale, population-based cohort. Confounder-adjusted logistic linear mixed-effects models showed an association between the cultural aspects of early-life SEC disadvantage and physical activity among women, but it was not consistently observed in men. Furthermore, these associations were compensated for only partially by adult-life socioeconomic trajectories. The material aspects of early-life SECs were not associated with adult-life physical activity. These findings highlight the need to distinguish different aspects of SECs because they may relate to health behaviors in diverse ways.
老年健康受早年社会经济状况（SEC）和性别影响。然而，这些因素是否以及为何相互作用尚不清楚。我们通过区分体育活动背景下 SEC 的文化和物质方面来检验这种相互作用的一种文化解释，体育活动是健康的主要决定因素。我们使用了欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查（SHARE）中 50 至 96 岁的 56331 名成年人的数据，这是一项为期 13 年的大规模基于人群的队列研究。经过混杂因素调整的逻辑线性混合效应模型显示，早年 SEC 劣势的文化方面与女性的体育活动之间存在关联，但在男性中并未一致观察到这种关联。此外，这些关联仅部分由成年后的社会经济轨迹所补偿。早年 SEC 的物质方面与成年后的体育活动无关。这些发现强调需要区分 SEC 的不同方面，因为它们可能以不同的方式与健康行为相关。
