Figure 2

Visual representation of the 10 educational sequences from ages 14 to 48 years used to predict physical health at age 50 years in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort (1979–2016). We collapsed the 24 educational sequences from the cluster analysis (Web Figure 1) based on F-test results indicating point estimates were similar for the same terminal educational state (e.g., the 4 GED trajectories were not different, so they were collapsed into 1 GED trajectory). The result was 10 educational sequences: A) less than HS; B) HS; C) GED credential; D) some college; E) some college after a GED credential; F) AA; G) AA after less than a HS education; H) BA immediate; I) BA interrupted; and J) graduate school. AA, associate’s degree; BA, bachelor’s degree; GED, general educational development; HS, high school.
