Healthy Aging After Age 65: A Life-Span Health Production Function Approach


This article examines the determinants of healthy aging using Grossman’s
framework of a health production function. Healthy aging, sometimes
described as successful aging, is produced using a variety of inputs, determined
in early life, young adulthood, midlife, and later life. A healthy aging production
function is estimated using nationally representative data from the 2010 and
2012 Health and Retirement Study on 7,355 noninstitutionalized seniors.
Using a simultaneous equation mediation model, we quantify how childhood
factors contribute to healthy aging, both directly and indirectly through
their effects on mediating adult outcomes
