Estimates of direct, indirect, and total effects of childhood and adulthood conditions on current health outcomes, based on the female sub-sample who survived until the 2011–2012 survey (N = 4,035 cases)

Dependent latent variable	Independent latent variables and control variables	Direct effect on health (A)	Indirect effect on health via adulthood SES (B)	Total effect on health (A+B)
Current health	Childhood conditions	c = −0.46**	a × b = 0.60 × 1.06 = 0.64***	0.18
	Adulthood SES	b = 1.06***	N.A.	1.06
	Age	e = −0.46***	d × b = −0.10 × 1.06 = −0.11***	−0.57
Adulthood SES		Effects on adulthood SES
	Childhood conditions	a = 0.60***
	Age	d = −0.10***

Note:

^*P < 0.05;

^**P < 0.01;

^***P < 0.001.

Goodness of model fit: Root mean square error of approximation= 0.066; goodness-of-fit index = 0.99; comparative-fit index = 0.87.
