在这篇文章中，我们解决了童年冲击和成年后期的健康之间的长期关联。应用生命过程方法和SHARE的数据，我们估计了50岁后搬迁，剥夺或饥饿等冲击与健康结果的直接和间接关系。住在儿童之家，寄养家庭，或者经历过一段时间的饥饿是最有害的。使用有限的混合模型，它允许将冲击和后来的健康之间的相关性分类到先验未知的群体，我们表明，一些不利的冲击显示出相反的关系，为特定群体。(JEL代码：J1、I12、J13）。
In this article, we address the long-run associations between childhood shocks and health in late adulthood. Applying a life-course approach and data from SHARE, we estimate direct and indirect relations of shocks like relocation, dispossession, or hunger and health outcomes after 50 years of age. Having lived in a children's home, in a foster family, or having suffered a period of hunger turn out to be the most detrimental. Using a finite mixture model, which allows to classify the correlations between shocks and later health into a priori unknown groups, we show that some adverse shocks show opposite relations for specific groups. (JEL codes: J1, I12, J13).
