Childhood socioeconomic position and later-life mortality, morbidity and self-rated health: a linked study from the Historical Population Register of Norway and the Tromsø Study 1950–2022

<b>Prospectively measured CSEP was associated with later-life health, although to a varying degree depending on the health indicator under study. This study highlights that, beyond binary disease endpoints, a broad indicator such as self-rated health can be an important tool to uncover health inequalities by CSEP in later life, as it summarises a multitude of possible dimensions of health and wellbeing throughout the life course.</b>
