“…In addition, as a result of longitudinally confirming the effect of employment status on overall health status, it was found that unemployment worsened overall health status. The association between employment status and overall health status is consistent with the results of previous studies [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Studies on employment status, health, and quality of life of people with multiple neurological disorders show that those with certain disabilities have more experience with job loss, which results in deterioration of health status and deterioration in quality of life [ 18 ].…”

This longitudinal study attempted to identify changes in employment status and overall health status. The participants were workers who had experienced work-related injuries in the past. In this study, we used the Panel Study of Workers’ Compensation Insurance from 2013 to 2017. This study utilized propensity score matching for a quasi-experimental design study of the first year to exclude the effects of the confounding variables and exclude the effect of employment status, which is the main independent variable. After applying propensity score matching the research subjects totaled 1070. Changes in employment status were found to have a negative effect on overall health status. This raises new implications for existing industrial accident-related support policies. Thus, it is considered that the scope should be expanded from policies related to re-employment of workers after an industrial accident to improving quality of life through maintaining employment from a long-term perspective. The notable point of this study was to apply the PSM methods. By applying PSM, we clearly identified the effect of changes in employment status on health status.

Self-rated health and perceived environmental quality in Brunei Darussalam: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2022

ObjectivesThis paper examines the relationship between individuals’ perceptions of environmental quality and self-rated health (SRH) after controlling for dimensions of socioeconomic, demographic and healthy lifestyle variables.DesignA cross-sectional survey.SettingThe survey was conducted in Belait, an oil-rich and gas-rich district in Brunei Darussalam, from 17 October to 11 November 2019 and focused on the most populated subdistricts (Kuala Belait, Seria and Liang), where 97% of the people reside.ParticipantsA final sample of 1000 respondents aged 18 years and older were randomly selected from the population of the chosen subdistricts, with 95% CI and ±3 margin of error. Due to variable selection, only 673 respondents were available for analysis.Outcome measuresSRH was dichotomised into 1 for good health and 0 otherwise. Perceptions of environmental quality included perceptions of the natural environment (air quality, marine quality, water supply, noise and olfactory pollution) and the social environment (crime). χ2 and logistic regression models were used to assess the relationship between individuals’ perceived environmental quality and SRH.ResultsMost respondents perceived themselves with good SRH (72%). The adjusted logistic regression shows that perceptions of air quality (OR=2.20, 95% CI 1.15 to 4.22, p=0.018) and marine resources (OR=1.84, 95% CI 1.24 to 2.74, p=0.002) in their surrounding areas were significantly associated with good SRH. However, other environmental variables were insignificantly associated with SRH. Among the control variables, healthy lifestyle and employment had positive associations with good SRH (OR=3.89, 95% CI 1.96 to 7.71, p=0.000, for exercising 3–5 times a week; OR=1.72, 95% CI 1.09 to 2.71, p=0.021, for being employed). In addition, frequent physical exercise compensated for the negative health impact of environmental pollution.ConclusionsThis study suggests that environmental quality has an important role in SRH. However, a healthy lifestyle measured with frequency of physical exercise seems to compensate for the adverse environmental effects on SRH.

“…A significant association between poor SRH status and middle-aged participants with all the impairments studied, highlights the significance of further research on this population [ 24 ]. We hypothesize that middle-aged people are more economically and socially active; therefore, they experience situations of discrimination and limitation more frequently because of their impairment, which leads to poor SRH status [ 39 ].…”

Association between impairment and self-rated health: a brazilian population study considering type, origin, and degree of limitation

Background Perceived health is a well-known, low-cost measure in public health, and has been used in several studies on individuals with impairment. Although many studies have related impairment to self-rated health (SRH), few have considered the origin and degree of limitation of the impairment. This study examined whether physical, hearing, or visual impairments—when analyzed according to origin (congenital or acquired) and degree of limitation (with or without)—are associated with the SRH status. Methods This cross-sectional study used data of 43,681 adult individuals from the Brazilian National Health Survey (NHS, 2013). The outcome SRH was dichotomized into poor (including the regular, poor, and very poor responses) or good (including the good and very good responses). Crude and adjusted (for socio-demographic characteristics and chronic diseases history) prevalence ratios (PR) estimates were evaluated using Poisson regression models with the robust variance estimator. Results Poor SRH prevalence was estimated at 31.8% (95%CI:31.0–33.0) among the non-impaired population, 65.6% (95%CI:60.6–70.0) among individuals with physical impairment, 50.3% (95%CI:45.0–56.0) for people with hearing impairment, and 55.3% (95%CI:51.8–59.0) for the visually impaired. Individuals with congenital physical impairment—with or without limitations—presented the strongest association with the poorest SRH status. Participants with non-limiting, congenital hearing impairment showed a protective factor to poor SRH (PR = 0.40 95%CI: 0.38–0.52). Individuals with acquired visual impairment with limitations demonstrated the strongest association with poor SRH (PR = 1.48 95%CI:1.47–1.49). Among the impaired population, middle-aged participants showed a stronger association with poor SRH than older adult participants. Conclusions Impairment is associated with poor SRH status, especially among people with physical impairment. The origin and degree of limitation of each type of impairment differently impacts SRH among the impaired population.
