Estimates of direct, indirect, and total effects of childhood and adulthood conditions on current health outcomes, based on the male sub-sample who survived until the 2011–2012 survey (N = 3,306 cases)

Dependent latent variable	Independent latent variables and control variables	Direct effect on healtd (A)	Indirect effect on healtd via adultdood SES (B)	Total effect on healtd (A + B)
Current health	Childhood conditions	c = −0.07	a × b = 0.59 × 0.47 = 0.28***	0.21
	Adulthood SES	b = 0.47***	N.A.	0.47
	Age	e = −0.61***	d × b = −0.05 × 0.47 = −0.02***	−0.63
Adulthood SES		Effects on adulthood SES
	Childhood conditions	a = 0.59***
	Age	d = −0.05***

Note:

^*P < 0.05;

^**P < 0.01;

^***P < 0.001.

Goodness of model fit: Root mean square error of approximation= 0.078; goodness-of-fit index = 0.97; comparative-fit index = 0.77.
