Description
Wenyan Ma and twelve colleagues present a 2026 study of how lifetime social mobility relates to difficulties in daily living among Hispanic and Latino adults in the United States. Data came from a large community health study with visits in 2014 to 2017 and again in 2020 to 2024.
Childhood and adult social position were combined into four paths, from lifelong adversity to lifelong advantage. People with lifelong adversity had notably higher odds of difficulties across senses, thinking, mobility, and independent living than the advantaged group. Downward mobility also raised odds and predicted new difficulties over six years. The authors tie daily function to whole-life social trajectories.
