Markers of Transition to Adulthood, Socioeconomic Status of Origin, and Trajectories of Health

This study examines the processes by which the transition to adulthood may impact mental health and result in the social gradient in health. The transition to adulthood is a formative time in the life course when young people relinquish the roles and obligations of adolescence and youth and take on the responsibilities of adulthood. Studies consistently show that the transition to adulthood can have both deleterious and beneficial effects on health. 1–4 We hypothesize that the socioeconomic health gradient emerges in early adulthood as a result of the differential timing, spacing, and sequencing of major transitional events.
