Résumé 0

"Although most studies consider health to be the result of social and economic insertion of the individuals, health may be considered a deter- mining factor of the social opportunities achieved, especially with respect to chances of social mobil- ity. The scope of this article is to understand the magnitude of the concurrent associations that so- ciodemographic, health and quality of life condi- tions (SF-36) exercise on chances of intergenera- tional social mobility on a probability sample of Brazilian homes in 2008. Social mobility was de- termined by the transition between occupational groups, which were defined using the Ganzeboom scale. Sociodemographic, health and quality of life features were associated with upward social mo- bility through logistic regression. A high level of schooling was the main determinant of chances of intergenerational social mobility. Women and youngsters ascended more intergenerationally. A positive association was observed between self as- sessment of health, physical health scores and up- ward mobility. Social mobility has become estab- lished as a multideterminate event. Physical health and perceived health were capable of influencing social transitions."
