Description
Catherine Garcia and co-authors trace how whole life histories shape body function in older Americans of different racialized groups, in work from 2024. Health gaps in later life grow out of childhood and adult conditions, not just old age itself. A life course view is needed to see that build up.
Data came from a national retirement study running from 2006 to 2020. Groups included White and non White Hispanic adults, Black adults, and White adults, over eleven thousand people in all. A latent class method sorted shared life patterns, from childhood home and schooling to health before fifty. Mixed models then tied those patterns to how body function changed with age.
