Even though the life course perspective has been a rapidly emerging area of research, the further development of theoretical models that elucidate the underlying biological, psychological and social pathways over the life span remains a strong challenge. Another challenging issue refers to the translation of life course findings into public health policy action. The aim of this call is to contribute to the further development of a holistic and theory-driven view of the life course, which takes into account the full range of explanatory factors \u2013 spanning multiple domains, levels and time \u2013 as well as their practical consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The International Journal of Public Health invites authors to submit original papers (Original articles, Brief reports, Hints and Kinks, Reviews) dealing with theoretical and statistical challenges for the development of an interdisciplinary life course perspective in Public Health.
