Social capital is widely considered to influence health. It is usually defined as a list of components such as social networks, social participation, trust and reciprocity. It is trust and reciprocity that are the subjects of this article. The presumed relationship of each with health is rarely explained in social capital studies. Trust is usually treated simplistically, both conceptually and in relation to measurement, while reciprocity is misunderstood, under-theorized and rarely measured. Pathways from trust and reciprocity to better health may be by way of reduced stress. Clarification and valid measures are needed to progress studies of social capital and health.
社会资本被广泛认为会影响健康。它通常被定义为一系列要素，如社会网络、社会参与、信任和互惠。本文的主题正是信任和互惠。在社会资本研究中，很少对它们与健康之间的假定关系作出解释。无论是在概念上还是在测量方面，信任通常都被简单化对待，而互惠则被误解、理论阐述不足且很少被测量。从信任和互惠到更健康状态的途径可能是通过减轻压力。需要进行澄清并采用有效的测量方法，以推动社会资本与健康方面的研究。
