This dissertation provides answers to a few important questions concerning one of the most enduring empirically observed social facts: the large and increasing socioeconomic gradient in health outcomes. Why are some individuals and populations healthier than others? How does good health come to be differentially distributed across important socially-and-economically-defined populations? Specifically, this dissertation investigates the extent to which social class shapes early life health and development and how these, in turn, affect the processes of socioeconomic and health status attainment over the life course.

520 $a This dissertation provides answers to a few important questions concerning one of the most enduring empirically observed social facts: the large and increasing socioeconomic gradient in health outcomes. Why are some individuals and populations healthier than others? How does good health come to be differentially distributed across important socially-and-economically-defined populations? Specifically, this dissertation investigates the extent to which social class shapes early life health and development and how these, in turn, affect the processes of socioeconomic and health status attainment over the life course.
520 $a The central finding is that social differentials in health are due to both social causation and selection mechanisms. That is, poor health is both a cause and a consequence of social inequality. Not only are those from less advantaged families more likely to have adverse health outcomes in childhood, but these early life health insults also continue to have lasting effects on both health and socioeconomic outcomes throughout the life course. Regarding adult health, net of social background and known health-related risk factors, those who experience childhoods marked by illness have substantially increased odds of poor self-reported health, work-limiting disability, and chronic disease with an additional lagged effect observed longitudinally. On nearly all indicators of adult socioeconomic status, whether designed to measure accumulated human capital (educational attainment), labor market outcomes (occupational status, earnings, labor force participation), or more permanent access to material resources (wealth), those who experienced adverse health from birth to age 16 have been to capture less of the socioeconomic pie than their healthy-childhood peers.
520 $a The dissertation further highlights the need for researchers to move beyond overly simplified, unidirectional, and temporally fixed causal models. It instead suggests that SES/health relationships emerge as a result of dynamic interactions over the life course, and should thus be understood as being embedded within larger processes of social stratification and health attainment. There is no singular SES/health relationship. Instead there are many such relationships. It is only through adequately acknowledging the plurality and complexity of these relationships that we can begin to explain and ultimately eliminate social disparities in health.
