There are pronounced gender effects strongly favoring boys, although there are also effects for girls. Dynamic mediation analyses show a significant role played by improved childhood traits, above and beyond the effects of experimentally enhanced adult socioeconomic status. These results show the potential of early life interventions for promoting health.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28260805</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conti, Gabriella&lt;br/&gt;Heckman, James&lt;br/&gt;Pinto, Rodrigo&lt;br/&gt;eng&lt;br/&gt;R01 HD054702/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/&lt;br/&gt;R24 AG048081/AG/NIA NIH HHS/&lt;br/&gt;R37 HD065072/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/&lt;br/&gt;England&lt;br/&gt;2017/03/07 06:00&lt;br/&gt;Econ J (London). 2016 Oct;126(596):F28-F65. doi: 10.1111/ecoj.12420.
