我们调查儿童健康状况是否会影响成年人的政治意识形态，以及在随后的生命阶段，青少年的人格特质，或青少年的学术能力是否调解这种关系。使用全国纵向队列样本，我们发现10岁以下儿童的健康状况与64岁以上成年人的保守政治意识形态呈正相关。健康状况良好的儿童与健康状况非常差的儿童相比，成年后报告具有保守政治意识形态的可能性高出16个百分点。与健康状况非常差的儿童相比，健康状况良好的儿童在成年后报告具有自由主义政治意识形态的可能性低13个百分点。儿童时期健康状况良好的成年人报告保守意识形态的可能性比自由意识形态高30个百分点。然而，对于儿童健康状况非常差的成年人来说，意识形态立场的差异可以忽略不计。也就是说，在控制了家庭收入和物质财富之后，健康和意识形态的关系是由那些在生命早期更健康的人驱动的。没有证据表明青少年健康，成人健康，青少年人格特质，或青少年学术能力的调解。儿童健康系数的大小在种族和性别之间实质上和统计上是相等的。我们讨论的可能性，而不是被调解，儿童健康实际上可能是一个调解人弥合社会，环境和政治意识形态的政策背景。我们还讨论了社会政策影响健康的潜力，健康影响意识形态（和投票参与），最终反过来影响社会政策。必须了解政治生活与人口健康之间的关系，因为发言权和权力的差异会加剧健康方面的差异。健康的儿童更有可能表达保守的意识形态作为老年人。独立于个性，学术和晚年健康。由健康状况更好的儿童推动的协会。儿童健康可能是社会力量产生成人意识形态的中介。
We investigate whether childhood health status influences adult political ideology and whether health at subsequent life-stages, adolescent personality traits, or adolescent academic aptitude mediate this relationship. Using a national longitudinal cohort sample, we found that better health among children under age 10 was positively related to conservative political ideology among adults over age 64. Children with excellent health compared to very poor health were 16 percentage points more likely to report having a conservative political ideology in adulthood. Children with excellent health compared to very poor health were 13 percentage points less likely to report having a liberal political ideology in adulthood. Adults who had excellent health as children were 30 percentage points more likely to report conservative ideology than liberal ideology. However, the difference in ideological position for adults who had very poor childhood health was negligible. That is, the health and ideology relationship is being driven by those who were healthier early in life, after controlling for family income and material wealth. No evidence was found for mediation by adolescent heath, adult heath, adolescent personality traits, or adolescent academic aptitude. The magnitude of the coefficient for childhood health was substantively and statistically equivalent across race and sex. We discuss the possibility that, instead of being mediated, childhood health may actually be a mediator bridging social, environmental, and policy contexts with political ideology. We also discuss the potential of social policy to influence health, which influences ideology (and voting participation), which eventually circles back to influence social policy. It is important to understand the nexus of political life and population health since disparities in voice and power can exacerbate health disparities. Healthy children more likely to express conservative ideology as older adults. Independent of personality, academics, and later-life heath. Association driven by children with better health. Childhood health may be mediating social forces to produce adult ideology.
