Using the Canadian Housing Survey, 2018-2019, we examined self-reported general and mental health among tenants residing in various housing types, including cooperative, non-profit, government, and private housing. Adjusting for confounders, we discovered that tenants in not-for-profit housing reported the highest odds, over four and half times (odds ratio 4.63), of poor general health compared to tenants in privately owned housing in Canada. On the other hand, the odds were reversed for tenants in cooperative housing and government housing, with 24% and 33% lower odds of poor general health, respectively, compared to tenants in privately owned housing. Moreover, we found that tenants in not-for-profit (1.26) and government housing (1.43) reported higher odds of poor mental health. On the other hand, tenants in cooperative housing reported 42% lower odds of poor mental health than tenants in privately owned housing. Furthermore, we observed variations in the odds of poor general and poor mental health among tenants from different equity-seeking groups across different housing types. These findings highlight the importance of considering housing type and equity factors in understanding health outcomes among tenants.
利用 2018-2019 年的加拿大住房调查，我们研究了居住在不同住房类型（包括合作、非营利、政府和私人住房）的租户的自我报告的一般健康和心理健康状况。在调整了混杂因素后，我们发现与加拿大自有住房的租户相比，非营利性住房的租户报告的一般健康状况不佳的几率最高，高出四倍半（优势比 4.63）。另一方面，合作住房和政府住房的租户的几率则相反，与自有住房的租户相比，他们的一般健康状况不佳的几率分别低了 24%和 33%。此外，我们发现非营利性住房（1.26）和政府住房（1.43）的租户报告心理健康状况不佳的几率更高。另一方面，合作住房的租户报告的心理健康状况不佳的几率比自有住房的租户低 42%。此外，我们还观察到不同寻求公平权益的租户群体在不同住房类型中的一般健康和心理健康状况不佳的几率存在差异。这些发现强调了在理解租户的健康结果时，考虑住房类型和公平因素的重要性。
