Studies of intergenerational mobility have largely ignored health despite the central importance of health to welfare …. We present the first estimates of intergenerational health mobility in the US by using repeated measures of self …-reported health status (SRH) during adulthood from the PSID. Our main finding is that there is substantially greater health mobility …
