Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics PSID, across the life course Socio Economic Status (SES) impacts future health outcomes, although the primary influence is education and not an individual's financial resources in whatever form they are received. That conclusion appears to be robust whether the financial resources are income or wealth or whether the financial resources represent new information such as the largely unanticipated wealth that was a consequence of the recent stock market boom. Finally, this conclusion is robust across new health outcomes that take place across the short and intermediate time frames of up to 15 years in the future. The Quality of the PSID Health Data--which consisted of figures and tables that shows the following: (1) Date of onset of chronic condition; (2) Focal point responding for self and spouse; and (3) Prospective Incidence in the Original HRS Cohort and Retrospective Incidence in the PSID Cohort--is appended. (Contains 2 figures, 5 tables and 17 footnotes.) [Funding for this research was provided by the National Institute on Aging.]
