This study aimed to investigate the capital interplays effects on the chronic disease morbidity of respondents. We applied binary logistic regression modelling to chronic disease morbidity in cross-sectional survey data from the 2014 Korea Welfare Panel Study(N=10,405). We found that childhood economic conditions (parental economic capital) manifested independent and statistically significant negative associations with the chronic disease morbidity of their middle aged adult children. The education of the respondents(institutionalized cultural capital) themselves was also strongly associated with chronic disease in the expected direction, and a large portion of the association between childhood economic conditions and chronic disease were explained by the educational credentials of the respondent. Household income(economic capital) was negatively associated with chronic disease, and a large portion of the association between respondent education and chronic disease morbidity was explained by household income. Finally, the capitals held by the parents were not associated with the chronic disease morbidity of the respondents over and above the capitals held by the respondents themselves. Our study illuminates the importance of the capital interplays for the development of chronic disease morbidity among adults in South Korea.
