There are no studies researching the relationship between house-poor persons and mental health. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between house-poor status and depressive symptoms.
To examine the relationship between the house-poor and depressive symptoms according to household income.
Data from the Korean Welfare Panel Study were used. House-poor were defined as people having possession with over 10% house-related interest in disposable income. About 7,565 participants over the age of 19 years were followed up from 2011 to 2013. The generalized estimating equations were used for analysis.
Individuals with more house-related debt showed increasingly higher depression scores (possession with under 5% related debt to disposable income β = 0.2024, p = .1544; under 10% β = 0.7030, p = .0008; over 10% β = 1.3207, p < .0001). Individuals possessing houses with over 10% ratio of house-related debts to disposable income had higher depression scores than individuals without house ownership (no possession β = 0.8927, p < .0001).
Individuals without houses and individuals owning houses with higher percentages of house-related interests showed higher levels of depressive symptoms. Therefore, this study affirmed that the importance of considering the most vulnerable groups in addressing the mental health of individual.
目前尚无研究探讨房奴与心理健康之间的关系。因此，本研究旨在调查房奴状况与抑郁症状之间的关系。
根据家庭收入，检验房奴与抑郁症状之间的关系。
本研究使用韩国福利面板研究的数据。房奴被定义为拥有超过 10%的住房相关债务的人，占可支配收入的比例。2011 年至 2013 年期间，对 7565 名年龄在 19 岁以上的参与者进行了随访。采用广义估计方程进行分析。
拥有更多住房相关债务的个体表现出更高的抑郁评分（住房相关债务占可支配收入比例低于 5%时β=0.2024，p=0.1544；低于 10%时β=0.7030，p=0.0008；高于 10%时β=1.3207，p<.0001）。拥有超过 10%住房相关债务的个体的抑郁评分高于没有住房所有权的个体（无房β=0.8927，p<.0001）。
没有住房的个体和拥有更高住房相关债务比例的住房的个体表现出更高水平的抑郁症状。因此，本研究肯定了在解决个体心理健康问题时考虑最弱势群体的重要性。
