We report associations between social capital and health among 82,482 adults in a national cohort of Open University students residing throughout Thailand.After adjusting for covariates, poor self-assessed health was positively associated with low social trust (OR = 1.88; 95% CI 1.76-2.01) and low social support (OR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.63-1.95). In addition, poor psychological health was also associated with low social trust (OR = 2.52; 95% CI 2.41-2.64) and low social support (OR = 1.80; 95% CI 1.69-1.92). Females, elderly, unpartnered, low income, and urban residents were associated with poor health. Findings suggest ways to improve social capital and heath in Thailand and other middle-income countries.
我们报告了在泰国各地居住的开放大学学生的全国队列中,82482 名成年人中社会资本与健康之间的关联。在调整了协变量后,自我评估健康状况较差与社会信任度低(OR=1.88;95%CI 1.76-2.01)和社会支持度低(OR=1.79;95%CI 1.63-1.95)呈正相关。此外,心理健康状况较差也与社会信任度低(OR=2.52;95%CI 2.41-2.64)和社会支持度低(OR=1.80;95%CI 1.69-1.92)相关。女性、老年人、未婚、低收入和城市居民与健康状况较差有关。研究结果表明了在泰国和其他中等收入国家提高社会资本和健康水平的方法。
