Dr. Hayward's primary research interests center on the influence of life cycle socioeconomic achievement on the health experiences of the American older population. Presently, he is involved in several studies focusing on the origins of health disparities at older ages: early life influences on socioeconomic and race disparities in adult morbidity and mortality, the demography of race/ethnic disparities in healthy life expectancy; social inequality in the biomarkers of aging, and the health consequences of marriage, divorce, and widowhood. Recent publications have focused on health as a determinant of racial inequality in the retirement life cycle, changes in morbidity and mortality determining trends in healthy life expectancy, socioeconomic and race/ethnic differences in healthy life expectancy, the association between childhood health and adult morbidity, and the socioeconomic origins of the race gap in chronic disease morbidity.
