Birth order and alcohol-related mortality by ethnic origin and national context: Within-family comparisons for Finland and Sweden
2021, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :Another set of explanations have focused on personality differences, suggesting that later-born are more likely to engage in risky and rebellious behaviour, where drinking may be a typical example (Sulloway, 1996; Zweigenhaft and von Ammon, 2000; Zweigenhaft, 2002; Barni et al., 2014). Older siblings may also introduce drinking and smoking to younger siblings (Blane and Berry, 1973; Elliott, 1992). However, recent research finds no association between birth order and the development of personality in terms of the Big Five personality traits (Rohrer et al., 2015).
A global analysis of the regional variation in the symptoms of acute respiratory infection during childhood: Epidemics and their association with environmental vulnerability
2020, Health and PlaceCitation Excerpt :At the individual level, we included various sociodemographic characteristics of children; these were gender, age in years, birth order, birth weight, and urban residence. Given that birth order is known to be associated with a child's health (Elliott, 1992) the variable, birth order was used and this includes both family size and the number of siblings born before the respondent child. Children from a larger size of families are potentially members of a crowded household and are thought to be more likely to have ARI.
Birth order and mortality in two ethno-linguistic groups: Register-based evidence from Finland
2016, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :This would produce first-borns who are more closely aligned with their parents, and later-borns who are more rebellious and more likely to engage in risky or dangerous activities (Sulloway, 1996; Zweigenhaft and Von Ammon, 2000). Also, older siblings may introduce younger siblings to developmentally inappropriate activities, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, at a younger age than otherwise would have been the case (Elliott, 1992; Harakeha et al., 2007). This can have both direct and indirect influences on health and mortality.
Educated mothers, healthy infants. The impact of a school reform on the birth weight of Norwegian infants 1967-2005
2014, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :We further restricted the sample to mothers who gave birth for the first time. This is because there are well known differences in infant health outcomes by birth order (Dowding, 1981; Elliott, 1992). MBRN has information about parity for all mothers.
