1 Sibling Status Effects on Health in Later Life
Toni Falbo, Sunghun Kim, & Kuanyi Chen University of Texas at Austin

2 Sibling Status & Health in Later Life
Sibling Status Effects in Childhood and Adolescence: Achievement & Health Theoretical Models: Dilution of Resources, Admixture, Confluence Sibling Status Effects on Mortality Risk: Firstborn advantage Sibling Status Effects & Longevity: Firstborns among Centenarians

3 Wisconsin Longitudinal Study
High School Graduates in 1957 Health in 2004 when Graduates were 65 N = 3968 Calibration sub-sample: n = 1984 Validation sub-sample: n = 1984

4 Alternate SEMs Simple. Sibling Status: Direct or Indirect?
Intermediate. Parental SES & Adolescent Aptitude Final. Direct Paths: Educational Attainment & Adolescent Aptitude

5 Educational Attainment
Sibship Size Birth Order Sibling Status .85 .74 Education ‘75 Educational Attainment Education ‘92 .99 .97 -.20** .40** .12** -.02 Wealth .81 .68 Household Income Net Worth .51 Health Self-Rating Doctor’s Report Physical Symptoms Diagnosed Illnesses .55 .65 .60 Figure 1. Simple Model

6 Educational Attainment

Intermediate Model

7 Educational Attainment
Sibship Size Birth Order Sibling Status .78 .82 Education ‘75 Educational Attainment Education ‘92 .97 .98 -.01 -.38** .40** -.19** Parental SES Father’s Edu Mather’s Edu Income .76 .63 .45 .14** .40** .30** .83 .66 Wealth Household Income Net Worth .43** .03 Adolescent Aptitude IQ HS Grades .86 .69 .51 Health Self-Rating Doctor’s Report Physical Symptoms Diagnosed Illnesses .54 .66 .59 .05 Figure 3. Final Model

8 Multi-group modeling Cross-validation: calibration vs.validation sub-samples Men vs. Women: Final model NOT equally plausible for men and women. Main difference: Pathway from Aptitude to Educational Attainment

9 Limitations High School Graduates, non-Hispanic Whites, Lived with Both Parents Just Matured into Later Life Broad Health Outcome

10 Findings Sibling Status Effects Indirect Only
When Parental SES and Aptitude in Model Sibling Status Effects Disappear * Sibling Status not fundamental cause of variation in Educational Attainment or Health in Later Life.
