This study assesses the relationship between social capital and self-reported health (SRH) by comparing different genders and ages. It utilizes data from the 2016 China Family Panel Study data with a sample of 30,657 adult individuals from 25 provincial-level administrative regions in China. This was a cross-sectional study conducted with computer-assisted face-to-face interviews to assess social capital and self-rated health among Chinese adults. A multi-level Poisson regression model is employed to model social capital-related dependent variables using the independent variable of fair/poor health status. In terms of social relations, mobile phone use can improve men's health. However, this effect is insignificant for women. Moreover, gender and age interact with the relationship between social capital and individual health. The relationship between trust and self-rated health is not significantly different between men and women. The frequency of feeling lonely and the lack of feelings for the community in which they live have a negative impact on self-rated health, but there are no obvious differences in terms of gender. The number of meals per week with family members is negatively correlated with men's SRH, but there is no correlation with adult women 41 and above. Lack of help from neighbors is negatively correlated with men's health, but not with that of adult women 40 and below. Being a member of the Chinese Communist Party or a member of the Chinese Communist Youth League is positively correlated with SRH for women 60 and above.
本研究通过比较不同性别和年龄的人群，评估了社会资本与自我报告健康（SRH）之间的关系。研究数据来自于 2016 年中国家庭追踪调查，样本为来自中国 25 个省级行政区的 30657 名成年人。这是一项横断面研究，采用计算机辅助的面对面访谈方式评估中国成年人的社会资本和自我报告健康状况。使用健康状况不佳/差的独立变量，采用多水平泊松回归模型对与社会资本相关的因变量进行建模。在社会关系方面，手机的使用可以提高男性的健康水平。然而，这一效应对女性并不显著。此外，性别和年龄与社会资本和个体健康之间的关系存在交互作用。信任与自我报告健康之间的关系在男女之间没有显著差异。感到孤独和对生活社区缺乏归属感的频率对自我报告健康有负面影响，但在性别方面没有明显差异。每周与家人一起用餐的次数与男性的 SRH 呈负相关，但与 41 岁及以上的成年女性无关。缺乏邻居的帮助与男性的健康状况呈负相关，但与 40 岁及以下的成年女性无关。作为中国共产党党员或中国共产主义青年团团员与 60 岁及以上女性的 SRH 呈正相关。
