Abstract:
Intergenerational transmission exists within families, which is considered as key factor influencing individual health. Previous studies of intergenerational transmission were diverse and fragmented, in which the impacts of parental health-related characteristics and health risk behaviors on their children and grandchildren were reported, yet there is a lack of systematic reviews based on high-quality epidemiological research. From a population-based cohort perspective, this paper summarizes the theoretical foundations, designs and contents, outcomes, and statistical approaches of research of intergenerational transmission of health to provide theoretical support for the research in this field.
