本研究评估了回顾性儿童健康报告，并将儿童健康作为成人健康的预测因子。结果表明，这些报告是合理的可靠性，以保证他们明智地使用在人口研究。它们还表明，儿童和成人健康之间存在很大的正相关关系。与优秀、非常好或良好的儿童健康状况相比，儿童健康状况不佳与成人自我评估健康状况不佳的几率高出三倍以上，与工作限制性残疾或慢性健康状况的风险高出两倍有关。这些协会是独立的儿童和当前的社会经济地位和健康相关的危险行为。
This study assesses retrospective childhood health reports and examines childhood health as a predictor of adult health. The results suggest that such reports are of reasonable reliability as to warrant their judicious use in population research. They also demonstrate a large positive relationship between childhood and adult health. Compared with excellent, very good or good childhood health, poor childhood health is associated with more than three times greater odds of having poor adult self-rated health and twice the risk of a work-limiting disability or a chronic health condition. These associations are independent of childhood and current socioeconomic position and health-related risk behaviors.
