Social capital is defined as the resources available to individuals and groups through membership in social networks. However, multiple definitions, distinct dimensions and subtypes of social capital have been used to investigate and theorise about its relationship to health on different scales, creating a confusing picture. This heterogeneity makes it necessary to systematise social capital measures in order to build a stronger foundation in terms of how these associations between the different aspects of social capital and each specific health indicator develop. We aim to provide an overview of the measurement approaches used to measure social capital in its different dimensions and scales, as well as the mechanisms through which it is presumed to influence health. Understanding the mechanisms through which these relationships develop may help to refine the existing measures or to identify new, more appropriate ones.
社会资本被定义为个人和群体通过参与社会网络可获得的资源。然而，社会资本的多种定义、不同维度和子类型已被用于在不同层面上研究其与健康的关系并进行理论化，这造成了一幅令人困惑的图景。这种异质性使得有必要对社会资本的测量方法进行系统化，以便在社会资本的不同方面与每个特定健康指标之间的这些关联如何形成方面建立更坚实的基础。我们旨在概述用于测量不同维度和层面的社会资本的测量方法，以及据推测其影响健康的机制。理解这些关系形成的机制可能有助于完善现有测量方法或识别新的、更合适的方法。
