Parental educational level and psychological positive health and health complaints in Spanish children and adolescents

Abstract: Current results provide evidence that children having parents with a university degree (father, mother or both) are more likely to have higher psychological positive health and lower health complaints than children reporting parents with non-university studies. This is particularly important for the welfare policy that must pay attention for implementing programs for helping population to access to university studies by their impact on youth health.

“…For example, high rates of adolescent sedentary behaviours have been associated with patterns of physical and psychological health in one study by Ussher et al [ 76 ]. Different variables were found as predictors of this class, and this is in line with several studies that found children and adolescents with highly-educated parents as being more likely to display positive psychological health and fewer health complaints than youth with less educated parents, which highlights the need for programs helping people access university studies [ 77 ]. Although adolescents from class 5 show the highest percentage of high fitness levels, they are significantly more at risk of lower body maximal strength, muscular endurance, and speed and agility compared with class 1.…”

“…Differences according to the parents' educational level were remarkable in aspects related to attitudes that conform to generally accepted standards of courtesy and kindness, to sharing or storage of patients' information and to the duty of con dentiality about intimate data and biographical aspects of the patient. Several studies report that higher parental socioeconomic status was correlated to better performances and mental health among students [28][29][30]. This association may explain our results, since higher educational level is usually associated with higher socioeconomic status.…”

“…Life satisfaction significantly differed according to paternal education, although the link is more U-shaped than linear. While some previous studies justified an association, (38) other studies found only a limited role of parental education in children's life satisfaction. (39) On the other hand, those with the best educated mothers reported the highest level of self-esteem.…”
