“…Las personas con una salud autoevaluada positiva indican estar satisfechas con la vida. Este resultado también fue reportado en otros estudios (Kim et al, 2021;Kööts-Ausmees y Realo, 2015;Ng et al, 2017;Su et al, 2022). La relación entre salud autoevaluada y satisfacción con la vida puede estar marcada por diversos factores.…”

Introducción: La satisfacción con la vida es un importante indicador de la calidad de vida de las personas adultas mayores. El propósito del estudio fue identificar factores asociados a la satisfacción con la vida en personas costarricenses y extranjeras de 60 años o más. Métodos: Se analizó información de una muestra de corte transversal que incluye hombres y mujeres participantes del proyecto Costa Rica: Estudio de Longevidad y Envejecimiento Saludable. Se estimó un modelo de regresión logística con el fin de determinar el efecto de variables sociodemográficas, del estado de salud, de la situación económica y de apoyo en la satisfacción con la vida. Resultados: Se determinó que la satisfacción con la vida está asociada con la tenencia de pareja, el insomnio, la presencia de más de una discapacidad en las actividades cotidianas, la salud autoevaluada y la percepción de la situación económica. Conclusiones: Identificar factores que influyen en la satisfacción con la vida en personas de 60 años o más puede aportar elementos al tema del desarrollo de políticas orientadas a mejorar la calidad de vida de esta población.

Satisfactions on Self-Perceived Health of Urban Residents in Chengdu, China: Gender, Age and the Built Environment

et al. 2022

Self-perceived health is an important factor for assessing urban residents’ satisfaction and quality of life. However, few have comprehensively investigated the impact of demographics, lifestyle and health awareness, indoor environment characteristics, and neighborhood features on self-perceived health. To fill this gap, we designed a framework using multivariable regressions to derive odd rations and to analyze the determinants of self-rated health, stratified into different sub-groups divided by gender, age, and neighborhood types. The study area is Chengdu, one of the most populous cities in western China. The results show that: (1) female respondents reported worse health, with household income level and marital status significantly affecting self-rated health; (2) elderly people reported the worst health, while unique factors affected only younger people (18–29 years old), such as gender, smoking, and indoor environment characteristics; and (3) different types of neighborhoods influence their residents’ perception of health differently due to historical establishment, current population composition, and housing conditions. Our study provides new observations on neighborhood types, while agreeing with previous studies on the influences of gender and age. We contribute to the field by providing a more complex understanding of the mechanism by which people rate their own health, which is important for understanding the satisfaction of urban residents and the built environment in which they live.

This article analyses the self-perceived health of the population surveyed by the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS), with 316,277 observations. The main novelties of this research are: first, we use the econometric technique of quantile regression, which will allow us to distinguish the respondent’s income level. Second, the personal, social, lifestyle and macroeconomic context dimensions of the respondents are considered simultaneously as determinants of self-perceived health. In this way, we will be able to see what the determinants of health are, and whether they vary with income. Finally, it is evident that there are indeed different responses to the same stimulus depending on the level of income, especially in the elasticity of the response, seeing how the higher the income, the more or less the same stimulus influences a person. In addition, it is established that age, nationality and employment status are the most influential variables in self-perceived health.
