“…Employment focuses on the employer-employee relationship and job characteristics such as work experience and hours. A phenomenon called the poor worker’s long working hours paradox refers to how the health effects of long working hours appear to be diminished in low-income households [ 10 ]. Similarly, informal employees or self-employed individuals were more likely to report good health than regular employees because of reduced conflict between work and family [ 11 ].…”

Self-rated health status (SRHS) reflects individuals’ social environment, and the difference between urban and rural areas in China further highlights the impact of social environment on health. This paper aimed to systematically analyze and compare the impact mechanism of the SRHS of urban and rural residents from multiple dimensions, i.e., time, space, and scale. Drawing on data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) and China Statistical Yearbook, we used spatial, cross, and HLM analyses. Results indicate that: (1) From 2010 to 2017, the overall SRHS level of Chinese residents gradually declined; the gradient pattern of east, middle, and west became more marked, and the health level in rural areas generally fell behind that of urban areas. (2) The focus of SRHS moved toward mental health, and people’s perceptions of the social environment gradually became a key factor affecting health. (3) In the long term, the gradient allocation of medical service resources could narrow the gap between urban and rural areas to comprehensively improve regional health levels.

Background: Previous studies have shown that women farmers are particularly vulnerable to mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in women farmers from Ecuador Coastal and Highlands regions. Method: General Anxiety Disorder‑7 (GAD‑7) and Patient Health Questionnaire‑9 (PHQ‑9) were applied. In addition, self-reported number of children, days off, hours of work, pesticide use, sleep habits and years of work in agriculture, were also collected. This cross-sectional study occurred during 2023 with 443 women, for Coastal (197) and Highlands (246), respectively. Multivariable binary logistic regression models were performed to obtained adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: 34.5% of Coastal women had depression, while 27.2% of Highlands women had depression. 20.3% of coastal women farmers had anxiety, while in the Highlands 24.8% had anxiety. Coastal mestizo and montubio women exhibited lower probability of depression, but this was not significant in the Highlands. Coastal women farmers that did not have children showed lower odds of depression (aOR 0.05, 95% CI [0.01, 0.34]). A lower likelihood of depression was observed in coastal women that worked more than 8 hours (aOR 0.22, 95% CI [0.07, 0.72]). Women from the Highlands that had shortened sleep duration exhibited lower odds of depression and anxiety. Conclusions: A higher proportion of depressed women farmers was observed in the Coast region and slightly higher numbers of anxiety cases in the Highlands. The number of children may cause workload and is correlated with depression in Coastal women.
