For each of the four pathways: the health-, the health behaviour-, the relational-and the educational pathway, the paper investigates whether indicators are socially patterned in adolescence, whether they track into adulthood, and whether any socially differential tracking or -vulnerability has been investigated. The paper focuses on examples of indicators from each pathway that is prevalent and/or have serious implications for later life: pains, overweight, depression, low physical activity, low fruit/vegetable intake, smoking, alcohol consumption (behavioural indicators), lone parenting, bullying victimization (relational indicators) and education.
