Abstract
⺠We estimated longitudinal effects of health status on schooling in a national sample of children aged 5-14 at baseline. ⺠Children with poorer global health status completed fewer years of schooling during the 10-year follow-up. ⺠The association was cumulative but did not vary depending on the specific pattern of health-status change over time. ⺠The association was stronger among children who were older at baseline. ⺠Results were similar using a sibling fixed effects model to control tightly for family and community characteristics.
