| Annotation | It is widely believed that people who earned more when they were young tend to be healthier in old age. The authors measured health conditions by two indicators - health impairment and functional limitation - to reach findings on whether this generalisation applies equally to black and white older people. A multivariate analysis of the control variables gender, marital status, age, education, and number of children raised indicated that level of earnings during people's working lives is not related to health impairments of black people at the time of retirement or 10 years later, but is strongly related to the health impairments of white people.
