1246 - The Long Arm of Childhood: Early life exposures and later life consequences

Sat, August 10, 10:30am to 12:10pm, Sheraton New York, Floor: Lower Level, Bowery

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

One of the most popular themes in contemporary studies of the life course is the notion, borrowed from the epidemiological research on the life course, which posits that early childhood exposures involving disruptions, adversities, and stress, matter for healthy outcomes in older adulthood. There are five excellent papers in this group, which cohere around the theme that lives are interconnected over time, and that there is in fact a “long arm” of early life exposures. This is a “hot” topic in the area of health and well-being and increasingly new longitudinal data are available for the purpose of testing out some of these ideas.
