Due to importance and progressive growth of apartment-living phenomenon in the world today, it is essential to survey the different dimensions of this modern lifestyle. The aim of this study is to predict rate of apartment-living based on the different predicted variables of socio-economic and demographic factors with approach to different health aspects.
A descriptive- analytic study was carried out between 600 apartment and 800 non-apartment residents in the Shiraz (Southern Region of Iran) through multi-stage cluster sampling during the year 2011. The statistical analysis was performed on the obtained data using multi-variable logistic regression as well as ANOVA analysis.
the rate for apartment-living in above 30 years old age group was 8.31 times more than 15-30 years old, 9.6 times more in employed vs. unemployed; 6.57 and 9.49 times more in families with average and high monthly incomes, respectively, vs. family with low monthly income; 8.73 times more in owner sub-group vs. renter sub-group; and 1.30 times more in people living lonely than those living with family. People living in an apartment are in poor health status considering physical, mental and social aspects.
Based on the results, it is very important that policy makers in urban areas consider the determinative role of socio-economic and demographic factors, which are involved in selecting apartment-living lifestyle by urban residents and also are effective on health.
鉴于当今世界公寓居住现象的重要性和不断增长的趋势，全面审视这种现代生活方式的不同层面至关重要。本研究旨在基于社会经济和人口因素的不同预测变量，探讨公寓居住率与不同健康方面的关系。
2011年，通过多阶段整群抽样法，对设拉子（伊朗南部地区）的600名公寓居民和800名非公寓居民进行了描述性分析研究。使用多变量逻辑回归和方差分析对所得数据进行统计分析。
30岁以上年龄组的公寓居住率是15 - 30岁年龄组的8.31倍；就业者的公寓居住率是失业者的9.6倍；月平均收入和高收入家庭的公寓居住率分别是低收入家庭的6.57倍和9.49倍；自有住房亚组的公寓居住率是租房亚组的8.73倍；独居者的公寓居住率是与家人同住者的1.30倍。从身体、心理和社会层面来看，公寓居民的健康状况较差。
基于研究结果，城市地区的政策制定者必须重视社会经济和人口因素的决定性作用，这些因素不仅影响城市居民选择公寓居住的生活方式，还对健康产生影响。
