in early life, young adulthood, midlife, and later life. A healthy aging production
function is estimated using nationally representative data from the 2010 and

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
