Life course and cohort variation in the relationship between education and health and mortality.

A tremendous body of literature documents the relationship between education and health and mortality, and a growing body of research has attempted to explain it. Less research has considered that the relationship may be time-varying. While some research has considered either cohort or age variation in the relationship, no research to date has simultaneously considered both. Furthermore, little health research has considered the effect of mortality selection on the life course pattern.

520 $a A tremendous body of literature documents the relationship between education and health and mortality, and a growing body of research has attempted to explain it. Less research has considered that the relationship may be time-varying. While some research has considered either cohort or age variation in the relationship, no research to date has simultaneously considered both. Furthermore, little health research has considered the effect of mortality selection on the life course pattern.
520 $a In this research, I address three questions. First, I examine whether life course and cohort variation exists in the relationship between education and health, and I consider the implications of ignoring one or the other effect. Second, I begin to examine factors that explain temporal variation. Third, I consider the effect of mortality selection on the life course pattern. I use both a repeated cross section and a panel study (the National Health Information Survey and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, respectively), conducting both age-period-cohort regression models on three health outcomes in the NHIS, and growth curve models on the NHANES.
520 $a There were several major findings. First, the relationship between education and health varies across both age and cohort, and ignoring one of these patterns substantially biases the estimated pattern of the other. Second, the life course pattern of the relationship between education and health is quadratic. The pattern is such that education is more important to health at midlife than at either young or old ages. However, this pattern exists only in the repeated cross-sectional data, indicating a potential mortality selection bias. Third, the influence of education is becoming stronger across birth cohorts. Fourth, a primary explanation for both the life course and cohort patterns is that income is becoming more important in determining health across cohorts, and that income is more important to health at midlife than at other ages. Finally, the panel data indicate that the quadratic life course pattern is likely the result of mortality selection: the growth curve model results show that, once mortality selection is considered, the life course pattern is linear and consistent with a cumulative advantage perspective that dominates stratification and life course theories.
