In this article, we investigate the relationship between the components of cultural capital and lifestyle choices related to health of young people in Russia. The research is based on the data of the “Trajectories in Education and Careers” longitudinal study. The data come from the 11th panel held in 2021 when the participants were at the age of 26 in average and had already completed their education and entered the labor market. To approach the research question, we apply latent class analysis with two-step estimation of the relationship between the latent classes and predictors. We identify three latent classes of young people in Russia. They are “doing sports”, “keeping unhealthy habits”, and “being passive”. We find that in general respondents with a large amount of institutionalized and embodied cultural capital are more likely to adhere to a healthy lifestyle. For them, the probability of being in the class of young people “doing sports” is higher. The same time, components of cultural capital show different relationship to the other two latent classes. The indicators of respondents’ embodied cultural capital, as well as their parents’ institutionalized cultural capital, contribute mainly to the distinction between the classes of people “doing sports” and “passive” in relation to their health. However, respondents’ own institutionalized cultural capital corresponds mainly to the distinction between classes of the youth “doing sports” and “keeping unhealthy habits”. We discuss the logic of these findings and what they tell us about cultural capital and lifestyle choices.
