However, only a limited number of studies have investigated the potential long-term consequences of such health complaints. The aim of the current study was to assess whether psychological and psychosomatic health complaints in adolescence predict the chance of entering tertiary education in young adulthood among women and men. Methods: The data used are from the Swedish Young-LNU, which is based on a nationally representative sample with self-reported survey information from adolescents aged 10\u201318 years in 2000 and from the same individuals at ages 20\u201328 in 2010 ( n=783). Information was also collected from parents and from official registers. Results: Linear probability models showed that self-reported psychological complaints in adolescence were associated with a lower chance of having entered tertiary education 10 years later. This association was accounted for by differences in grade point average (GPA), suggesting that GPA may mediate the association between psychological complaints and later education. The pattern was similar for both genders. Furthermore, among men, psychosomatic complaints in adolescence were significantly associated with a lower likelihood of having entered tertiary education 10 years later when adjusting for GPA and social class in adolescence. A similar but non-significant tendency was found among women. Conclusions: The findings suggest that health complaints in adolescence may have long-term consequences in terms of lower educational attainment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494817713649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,16]],"date-time":"2017-12-16T01:45:52Z","timestamp":1513388752000},"page":"878-885","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Do health complaints in adolescence negatively predict the chance of entering tertiary education in young adulthood?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Sara B.","family":"L\u00e5ftman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Equity Studies (CHESS), Stockholm University\/Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charlotta","family":"Magnusson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI), Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1403494817713649","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2005.06.047"},{"key":"bibr2-1403494817713649","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2012.11.039"},{"key":"bibr3-1403494817713649","volume-title":"Skolbarns h\u00e4lsovanor i Sverige 2013\/14.
