Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) refers to the parental social class and parental education in childhood.Recent research has proved that SES influences the health in middle-old age.In particular,studies of the influencing factors for health in middle-old age from the perspective of life cycle show that low SES may lead to serious health conditions in middle-old age.Life course health development (LCHD),the pathway model and the social mobility model explain the association of childhood SES with health in middle-old age.The mechanism of childhood SES influences the health in middle-old age involves environmental factors,and the accessibility of health services.This paper introduces LCHD,the pathway model and the social mobility model,to explain the mechanism of the association of childhood SES with the health in middle-old age.
