Abstract

Objective: Limited knowledge exists about whether childhood health and socioeconomic status (SES) conditions influence health among older adults in Indonesia. Method: Data from Wave 5 (2014/2015) of the Indonesian Family Life Survey ( N = 6,530) was used to examine associations between childhood health and SES and hypertension, lung conditions, diabetes, lower body functional limitations (LBFL), and instrumental activities of daily living limitations (IADL). Results: Poor childhood health was associated with 34% higher odds of hypertension (odds ratio [OR] = 1.34, p < .05), 37% higher odds of diabetes (OR = 1.37, p < .05), and 32% higher odds of lung conditions (OR = 1.32, p < .05). Household overcrowding was associated with 22% higher odds of a LBFL (OR = 1.22, p < .05) and 24% higher odds of an IADL (OR = 1.24, p < .01). Lacking a household toilet was associated with 18% higher odds of a LBFL (OR = 1.18, p < .05). Adjusting for adult SES and current health did not account for these relationships. Discussion: Childhood conditions appear to shape older adult health in Indonesia.
