This study provides evidence that a diversity of family background (
socioeconomic deprivation, housing tenure, family disruption and parental interest), health and development (cognition and behaviour) measures gives powerful independent childhood indications for general health and mental well - being in
early adulthood, whereas limiting long - standing illness in adulthood is most strongly indicated by health difficulties in childhood.
Excepting stronger indications of academic test scores for general health and mental well - being for the
earlier 1958 birth cohort, and of
socioeconomic deprivation for the general health of women, differential associations of the childhood measures with adult health are not apparent by gender, or between the 1958 and 1970 birth cohorts.
Given that
socioeconomic deprivation was the single precursor distinguishing the
early - onset, persistent CP pathway, poverty may represent an important factor for targeting high - risk mothers.
