Childhood Disadvantage and Adult Health: A Lifecourse Framework

Hilary Graham, Chris Power: 2004

This report is designed as a resource to support the development of policies to tackle socio-economic inequalities in health. It focuses on the link between childhood disadvantage and poor health in adulthood, drawing on evidence from epidemiological studies and social surveys to develop a framework which maps the pathways through which a disadvantaged start in life can compromise adult health.
