Síntesis

Dunedin birth cohort (N=1,037) followed from birth to age 32. Childhood self-control predicted adult physical health, substance dependence, personal finances, and criminal offending along a dose-response gradient, holding even after adjusting for IQ and social class. A sibling comparison supported the link.
