DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Society would benefit from a better understanding of the complicated processes that affect health over the life span. Particularly useful would be a better understanding of the role of key factors that can be influenced by public and private policy. We will focus on work-life and health habits as key determinants of health and examine how they interact with health over the life course. Early choices with regard to work-life (e.g. occupation) and health habits (initiation of smoking, drinking, and obesity) can have durable effects and thus can affect later health. The overall aim of this proposal is to examine the dynamic interplay over the life cycle among work-life, health habits, and health outcomes. We will build a life cycle model using several longitudinal datasets covering the age range from adolescence to late life. Our model aims to assess associations and potential multidirectional causality among these factors. We will accomplish our goals by bridging methodologies across disciplines to best address our research questions. Specific Aim 1: Analyze labor market experiences and health habits as determinants of health in old age, and investigate whether these are better characterized by static measures or dynamic processes. Specific Aim 2: Model the interplay among the principal risk factors derived from Aim 1, recognizing and modeling which factors are pre-determined and which are causal at different points in the life cycle. Allow for multi-directionality among labor market variables, health habits, and health outcomes, and changes in these relationships with age. Specific Aim 3: Determine whether there are differences in the relationships identified in Aims 1 and 2 across health measures and race and gender sub-populations. Use multiple datasets to assess the robustness of findings. Specific Aim 4: Based on our findings, identify key public and private policies that could, especially early in life, have important impacts on the trajectory of health leading to a long and high functioning life. Disseminate findings to academic audiences and translate findings to be more accessible to broader audiences who could benefit from the knowledge. The primary datasets that will be used are: the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and the Health and Retirement Study (MRS). We will also use the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) and the Study of Assets and Health Dynamics among the Oldest Old (AHEAD) to focus on younger and older individuals, respectively. Together these longitudinal datasets cover the life span and each contains measures of health, health habits and labor market characteristics.

描述（由申请人提供）：社会将从对影响健康范围内影响健康的复杂过程的更好理解中受益。特别有用的是更好地理解可能受公共和私人政策影响的关键因素的作用。我们将专注于工作生活和健康习惯作为健康的关键决定因素，并研究它们在生活过程中与健康的相互作用。关于工作生活（例如职业）和健康习惯（启动吸烟，饮酒和肥胖）的早期选择可能会产生持久的影响，从而影响以后的健康。该提案的总体目的是检查工作与生活，健康习惯和健康成果之间生命周期中的动态相互作用。我们将使用涵盖从青春期到后期生活的年龄范围的几个纵向数据集建立生命周期模型。我们的模型旨在评估这些因素之间的关联和潜在的多向因果关系。我们将通过跨学科的方法来实现我们的目标，以最好地解决我们的研究问题。具体目标1：将劳动力市场经验和健康习惯分析为老年健康的决定因素，并研究这些习惯是否更好地以静态措施或动态过程为特征。特定目标2：建模来自AIM 1的主要风险因素之间的相互作用，认识和建模哪些因素是预定的，哪些因素在生命周期的不同点处是因果关系。允许劳动力市场变量，健康习惯和健康成果之间的多方向，以及与年龄的关系变化。特定目的3：确定目标1和2跨健康和种族和性别子人群中目标1和2中发现的关系是否存在差异。使用多个数据集评估发现的鲁棒性。特定目的4：根据我们的发现，确定可能在生命早期的关键公共和私人政策，对健康轨迹产生重要影响，从而带来漫长而高的生活。向学术受众传播发现，并翻译发现，可以从知识中受益的更广泛的受众更容易获得。将使用的主要数据集是：收入动态的小组研究（PSID）和健康与退休研究（MRS）。我们还将分别使用最古老的老年人（前方）的资产和健康动态的国家纵向研究（NLSY）研究，分别专注于年轻人和年龄较大的人。这些纵向数据集涵盖了寿命，每个数据集涵盖了健康，健康习惯和劳动力市场特征的措施。
