This study investigated the impact of the duration of childhood starvation experience on life satisfaction among Chinese people and examined whether and how socioeconomic and health statuses mediated this association. Data were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, a nationwide social survey project that was conducted among Chinese individuals aged 45 or older in 2014. The results show that the duration of childhood starvation experience was significantly negatively associated with life satisfaction, and socioeconomic and health statuses mediated this relationship. The findings suggested that more interventions should be conducted among people who have experienced childhood starvation
