Previous research has demonstrated that married men are more likely than not-married men to seek preventive health care services because their spouses encourage them to do so (1,2). It was not known, however, whether cohabiting partners of not-married men play a health-promoting role similar to that of spouses. With data from the 2011-2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), selected measures of preventive health care service use were compared for three groups of men aged 18-64: married men (defined as those living with a spouse), cohabiting men (defined as those living with a partner who is not a spouse), and other not-married men. The consistency of observed differences by age and health insurance coverage status was also investigated.
先前的研究表明，已婚男性比未婚男性更有可能寻求预防性医疗保健服务，因为他们的配偶鼓励他们这样做(1,2)。然而，尚不清楚未婚男性的同居伴侣是否发挥与配偶类似的促进健康的作用。利用2011 - 2012年国家健康访谈调查(NHIS)的数据，对三组年龄在18 - 64岁的男性的预防性医疗保健服务使用的选定指标进行了比较：已婚男性(定义为与配偶同住的男性)、同居男性(定义为与非配偶伴侣同住的男性)和其他未婚男性。还调查了按年龄和医疗保险覆盖状况观察到的差异的一致性。
