Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between prayer attendance and general health among adult urban population in Iran. A total of 470 males older than 17 years, chosen by multistage sampling, were investigated. The results showed that people who did not perform prayers compared to those who said prayers on time and performed Nafilahs (supererogatory prayers) were 2.87 (OR 2.87, 95 % CI 1.23-6.70, p = 0.015) times at risk of general health problems. In conclusion, the findings show that increasing the degree of people's belief in prayer can lead to improve general health.

摘要

本研究旨在确定伊朗成年城市人口中祈祷参与度与总体健康之间的关系。通过多阶段抽样选取了470名17岁以上的男性进行调查。结果显示，与按时祈祷并进行副功拜的人相比，不进行祈祷的人出现总体健康问题的风险是前者的2.87倍（比值比2.87，95%置信区间1.23 - 6.70，p = 0.015）。总之，研究结果表明，增强人们对祈祷的信仰程度可改善总体健康状况。
