Bildung und Gesundheitsungleichheit im Alter: Divergenz, Konvergenz oder Kontinuität?

Abstract: Zusammenfassung: dass die in frühen lebensphasen erworbene bildung die gesundheit im Alter beeinflusst, ist unbestritten. Zum Ausmaß des bildungsspezifischen gesundheitlichen Abbaus liegen jedoch heterogene Ergebnisse vor. So bleibt unklar, ob sich gesundheitliche Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen Bildungsgruppen im Alter vergrößern (Divergenz), verkleinern (Konvergenz) oder ob sie konstant bleiben (Kontinuität). Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den bildungsbedingten Alterseffekt auf die Veränderung der Ges… Show more

“…One study investigating the question of whether social differences in health increase, remain constant or lessen over the life course concludes that for most observed health indicators, a divergence is apparent between people with low and high levels of education. With increasing age, constant educational differences are only found in assessments of subjective health, the number of chronic diseases and in memory ability, and even decreasing educational differences in the rate of speaking (Leopold/ Engelhardt 2011). The authors explain the predominantly divergent patterns with the accumulation theory after which early advantages grow systematically.…”

“…This ambiguity is also due to the different operationalizations of socioeconomic indicators (education, occupational status, and income) and the different health dimensions. Furthermore, conventional indicators may not be suitable for adequately capturing differences in the accumulated socioeconomic conditions in old age (education and occupation date back a long time, are only comparable to a limited extent for men and women, ownership structures provide more information on the accumulation of resources) (Clemens, 2008;Kohli et al, 2000;Leopold & Engelhardt, 2011;von dem Knesebeck & Schäfer, 2009). For parents in old age, for example, it is conceivable that health inequalities are further influenced by unequal socioeconomic resources of their adult children (such as the extent of support in care services, knowledge about diagnosis and treatment options) (Rueda & Artazcoz, 2009;Saraceno, 2010).…”

“…B. auf einen angenommenen Bedeutungsgewinn sozioökonomischer, sozialer und personaler Ressourcen im Alter zielen, möglicherweise insbesondere im Fall von Krankheit und Hilfsbedürftigkeit, durchaus plausibel erscheinen. In anderen Studien fanden sich vereinzelt Hinweise auf eine Ausweitung der gesundheitlichen Ungleichheit im Altersgang, allerdings nur für bestimmte Gesundheitsbereiche und auch eher am Über-gang vom mittleren ins höhere Lebensalter und nicht so sehr mit Blick auf die Hochaltrigen , Leopold, Engelhardt 2011.…”
