This study will examine explanatory variables including socioeconomic inequalities related to mental stress at both the individual and regional level.
A cross-sectional multistage sampling process was used to obtain participants. Data on mental stress and individual socioeconomic status were gathered via face to face interview. Regional variables were retrieved from a national database. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was used to assess socioeconomic variances in mental stress.
Among the 16,866 participants, 27.2% reported severe levels of mental stress (95% CI: 19.4%-35.1%). Multilevel regression analysis indicated that lower individual educational attainment and income, and lower regional Per Capita GDP was associated with mental stress. The results also indicated that managers, clerks, and professional workers manifested higher stress levels than those in other occupations.
Based on the results of this study individual and regional socioeconomic inequalities in China are associated with mental stress.
本研究将考察个体和区域层面与精神压力相关的解释变量,包括社会经济不平等。
采用横断面多阶段抽样程序获取参与者。通过面对面访谈收集精神压力和个体社会经济地位的数据。区域变量从国家数据库中获取。采用多水平逻辑回归分析评估精神压力方面的社会经济差异。
在16866名参与者中,27.2%报告有严重精神压力水平(95%置信区间:19.4%-35.1%)。多水平回归分析表明,个体教育程度和收入较低,以及区域人均国内生产总值较低与精神压力相关。结果还表明,经理、职员和专业人员的压力水平高于其他职业的人员。
基于本研究结果,中国个体和区域层面的社会经济不平等与精神压力相关。
