Abstract
A multilevel analysis of data on social mobility of cohorts and individual self-rated health across 44 countries (N = 86,006) revealed that individuals born to cohorts of higher upward and relative mobility reported lower self-rated health overall. This negative link was primarily driven by low income and low GDP countries.
