| Popis: | This study examines the role of mother’s health and socioeconomic status on daughter’s self-rated health using data spanning three decades from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Mature Women and Young Women ( N = 1,848 matched mother–daughter pairs; 1,201 White and 647 African American). Using nested growth curve models, we investigated whether mother’s self-rated health affected the daughter’s self-rated health and whether socioeconomic status mediated this relationship . Mother’s health significantly influenced daughters’ self-rated health, but the findings were mediated by mother’s socioeconomic status. African American daughters reported lower self-rated health and experienced more decline over time compared with White daughters, accounting for mother’s and daughter’s covariates. Our findings reveal maternal health and resources as a significant predictor of daughters’ self-rated health and confirm the role of socioeconomic status and racial disparities over time. |
