From the IGEMS Consortium, data were available from 26,579 individuals aged 23 to 102 years on 3 subjective health items: self-rated health (SRH), health compared to others (COMP), and impact of health on activities (ACT). Marital status was a marker of environmental resources that may moderate genetic and environmental influences on subjective health. Results differed for the 3 subjective health items, indicating that they do not tap the same construct. Although there was little impact of marital status on variance components for women, marital status was a significant modifier of variance in all 3 subjective health measures for men. For both SRH and ACT, single men demonstrated greater shared and nonshared environmental variance than married men. For the COMP variable, genetic variance was greater for single men vs. married men. Results suggest gender differences in the role of marriage as a source of resources that are associated with subjective health.
来自IGEMS联盟的26579名年龄在23岁至102岁之间的个体提供了关于3项主观健康指标的数据:自评健康状况(SRH)、与他人相比的健康状况(COMP)以及健康对活动的影响(ACT)。婚姻状况是环境资源的一个指标,它可能会调节遗传和环境对主观健康的影响。3项主观健康指标的结果有所不同,表明它们所衡量的并非同一结构。虽然婚姻状况对女性的方差成分影响不大,但婚姻状况是男性所有3项主观健康指标方差的显著调节因素。对于SRH和ACT,单身男性表现出比已婚男性更大的共享和非共享环境方差。对于COMP变量,单身男性的遗传方差大于已婚男性。结果表明,在婚姻作为与主观健康相关的资源来源的作用方面存在性别差异。
