Economic Status and Health in Childhood: The Origins of the Gradient
发现儿童健康与家庭收入正相关，且随年龄增长而增强；慢性病加剧低收入儿童的健康劣势，收入影响随生命历程累积，部分解释代际社会经济地位的传递。
The well-known positive association between health and income in adulthood has antecedents in childhood. Not only is children's health positively related to household income, but the relationship between household income and children's health becomes more pronounced as children age. Part of the relationship can be explained by the arrival and impact of chronic conditions. Children from lower-income households with chronic conditions have worse health than do those from higher-income households. The adverse health effects of lower income accumulate over children's lives. Part of the intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic status may work through the impact of parents' income on children's health.
