The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship of social status in early childhood and adolescence with present health and well-being and to identify factors predicting good health and social status. The study is part of a health survey of young Northern Finnish men and uses longitudinal questionnaire data. The results indicated that background variables in adolescence predicted health and the social index in adulthood as far as physical exercise and school performance were concerned. Good school performance was associated with a good health index and a good social index. Regular physical exercise in adolescence is extremely important when considering the state of health in adulthood. The family background predicted the development of health. The mother's high educational level was associated with good health and social indices. The results also showed that living in a farming family and having mothers working at home seemed to be protective factors for good health. The binary regression model was applied to the factors predicting the health index and the social index in adulthood. A major concern in future research is how to explore factors which affect the abilities of individuals to reach sensible decisions regarding their own health and lives overall, and how families can promote this process.
本研究的目的是探讨儿童期和青少年期的社会地位与当前健康和幸福之间的关系，并确定预测良好健康和社会地位的因素。该研究是对芬兰北部年轻男性进行的健康调查的一部分，并使用了纵向问卷调查数据。结果表明，就体育锻炼和学业成绩而言，青少年时期的背景变量可预测成年后的健康状况和社会指数。良好的学业成绩与良好的健康指数和社会指数相关。考虑到成年后的健康状况，青少年时期经常进行体育锻炼极其重要。家庭背景可预测健康状况的发展。母亲的高学历与良好的健康和社会指数相关。结果还表明，生活在农业家庭且母亲在家工作似乎是健康良好的保护因素。二元回归模型应用于预测成年后健康指数和社会指数的因素。未来研究中的一个主要关注点是如何探索影响个人就自身健康和整体生活做出明智决策能力的因素，以及家庭如何促进这一过程。
