DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The general goal of this project is to investigate the mechanisms linking education to health transitions, morbidity processes and mortality outcomes at advanced ages. In particular, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the observed gradual decline in the effect of education at older ages comparing this effect in the very different institutional and socioeconomic contexts of the U.S. and Mexico. We emphasize the role of health-related selection processes, the effects of early life events, parental background, and intergenerational transmissions of human capital on health status in later life, and especially at old age. The specific aims of the project are to: develop comparative indicators of health status for older people based in part on biomarkers; develop a cross-national typology of education that goes beyond simple counts of years of schooling; map how the magnitude of the relationship between education and health outcomes changes with age; consider the role of differential selection on the convergence &morbidity and mortality trajectories; and, assess how differences in education imprint on the aging process, its disease burden and disability in the U.S. and Mexico.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目的总体目标是研究教育与老年健康转变、发病过程和死亡结果之间的联系机制。特别是，我们研究了观察到的老年教育效果逐渐下降的机制，比较了美国和墨西哥非常不同的制度和社会经济背景下的这种影响。我们强调健康相关选择过程的作用，早期生活事件的影响，父母背景，以及人力资本的代际传递对晚年健康状况的影响，特别是在老年。该项目的具体目标是：制定部分基于生物标志物的老年人健康状况比较指标；发展一种超越简单的学校教育年数的跨国教育类型学；绘制教育与健康结果之间关系的大小如何随年龄变化的地图；考虑差异选择对收敛、发病率和死亡率轨迹的作用；评估美国和墨西哥的教育差异对老龄化过程、疾病负担和残疾的影响。
