The main goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between levels of cognitive social capital and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
A multilevel, cross-sectional study was conducted in 2007 in Bogotá Colombia. A total of 1,907 older adults completed the Spanish version of the Short Form of Health Survey (SF-8) to assess HRQOL. Cognitive dimension of social capital was assessed. Hierarchical linear regressions were conducted to determine the associations between social capital variables and HRQOL.
Only 20% to 25% of the population reported trust in others and shared values. A total of 93% percent reported that people in their neighborhood would try to take advantage of them if given a chance. Higher social capital indicators were positively associated with the mental and physical dimensions of HRQOL.
Results from this study support evidence on the disintegration of the Colombian society, which may be influenced by high levels of social inequality.
本研究的主要目的是评估认知社会资本水平与健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)之间的关系。
2007年在哥伦比亚波哥大进行了一项多层次横断面研究。共有1907名老年人完成了西班牙语版的简短健康调查问卷(SF-8)以评估健康相关生活质量。对社会资本的认知维度进行了评估。进行分层线性回归以确定社会资本变量与健康相关生活质量之间的关联。
只有20%至25%的人口表示信任他人并认同共同价值观。共有93%的人表示,如果有机会,他们所在社区的人会试图利用他们。较高的社会资本指标与健康相关生活质量的心理和身体维度呈正相关。
本研究结果支持了关于哥伦比亚社会解体的证据,这可能受到高度社会不平等的影响。
