Title:Social causation versus health selection in the life course : does their relative importance differ by dimension of SES? Author(s):HOFFMANN, Rasmus
; KRÖGER, Hannes
; GEYER, SiegfriedDate:2019Citation:
- Social indicators research, 2019, Vol. 141, No. 3, pp. 1341-1367
Type:ArticleAbstract:A person’s socioeconomic status (SES) can affect health (social causation) and health can affect SES (health selection). The findings for each of these pathways may depend on how SES is measured. We study (1) whether social ...


Title:Pathways between socioeconomic status and health : does health selection or social causation dominate in Europe? Author(s):HOFFMANN, Rasmus

Date:2018Citation:
- Advances in life course research, 2018, Vol. 36, pp. 23-36
Type:ArticleAbstract:Health differences which correspond to socioeconomic status (SES) can be attributed to three causal mechanisms: SES affects health (social causation), health affects SES (health selection), and common background factors ...



Title:Comparing observed and unobserved components of childhood : evidence from Finnish register data on midlife mortality from siblings and their parents Author(s):KRÖGER, Hannes
; HOFFMANN, Rasmus
; TARKIAINEN, Lasse; MARTIKAINEN, PekkaDate:2018Citation:
- Demography, 2018, Vol. 55, No. 1, pp. 295-318
Type:ArticleAbstract:In this study, we argue that the long arm of childhood that determines adult mortality should be thought of as comprising an observed part and its unobserved counterpart, reflecting the observed socioeconomic position of ...

Title:Statistical methods for causal analysis in life course research : an illustration of a cross-lagged structural equation model, a latent growth model, and an autoregressive latent trajectories model Author(s):PAKPAHAN, Eduwin
; KRÖGER, Hannes
; HOFFMANN, Rasmus
Date:2017Citation:
- International journal of social research methodology, 2017, Vol. 20, No. 1, pp. 1-19
Type:ArticleAbstract:We present three statistical methods for causal analysis in life course research that are able to take into account the order of events and their possible causal relationship: a cross-lagged model, a latent growth model ...

Date:2017Citation:
- Advances in life course research, 2017, Vol. 31, pp. 1–10
Type:ArticleAbstract:Socioeconomic status (SES) and health during childhood have been consistently observed to be associated with health in old age in many studies. However, the exact mechanisms behind these two associations have not yet been ...



Title:The association of levels of and decline in grip strength in old age with trajectories of life course occupational position Author(s):KRÖGER, Hannes

; HU, Yannan; DE GELDER, Rianne; MENVIELLE, Gwenn; BOPP, Matthias; MACKENBACH, Johan P.Date:2016Citation:
