摘要: This paper examines early life and adulthood correlates of cardiovascular and metabolic risk in mid-aged and elderly in China using the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). We find little evidence of early life adversity on these two indices of adult health, but do find some strong influences of adult circumstances. In particular urban circumstances are associated with higher risk of both cardiovascular and metabolic risk. Overweight and obesity are associated with higher cardiovascular risk and smoking among men with higher metabolic risk. Age is positively related to higher risk of both cardiovascular and metabolic risk, monotonically so for women, but non-linearly for men.
