IntroduçãoNos últimos anos, o conceito de "capital social" tem sido utilizado na literatura internacional em uma vasta gama de disciplinas entre as quais: sociologia, antropologia, educação, economia, ciências políticas, criminologia e saúde pública. Trata-se de um conceito desafiador, pois incorpora o freqüentemente negligenciado "social" com o onipotente "capital". Capital social enfatiza o fato de que formas e relações não-monetárias podem ser importantes fontes de poder e influência 1 .Sua proeminência recente, na área da saú-de, é simultânea ao momento em que a epidemiologia está passando por uma profunda revisão crítica de suas próprias capacidades para capturar fenômenos sociais 2 . A literatura corrente também evidencia que, devido ao fato de o conceito ser entendido e avaliado de diferentes formas, muitas críticas têm sido feitas quanto ao seu uso 3,4 .No entanto, um grande e crescente número de pesquisas tem sugerido que capital social favorece a saúde das pessoas. Sociedades com altos níveis de capital social parecem ser mais igualitárias, as pessoas são mais envolvidas na vida pública, vivem mais, são menos violentas e avaliam melhor a sua própria saúde 5,6,7 .O principal objetivo deste artigo é revisar, na literatura epidemiológica, a relação estabelecida entre o conceito de capital social e o pro-

“…Kawachi et al found in an ecological study that lower levels of social trust were associated with higher rates of most major causes of death, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, unintentional injury, and infant mortality (Kawachi et al 1997). Studies concerning the relationships between social capital and health also include such different topics as for instance mortality rates in individual level (Lochner et al 2003) and ecological studies (Skrabski et al 2003), self rated health in individual level (Veenstra 2000) and multilevel studies (Putnam 2000;Lindström 2004a;Subramanian et al 2002), mental health (Drukker et al 2003), smoking and smoking cessation (Lindström et al 2002), cannabis smoking (Lindström 2004b), leisure time physical activity (Lindström et al 2001;Lindström et al 2003), as well as alcohol consumption (Weitzman et al 2000) analysed at the individual level of analysis. Social capital has also been discussed as a tool for exploring community level influences on HIV infection (Campbell et al 2002).…”

“…Higher individual-level social capital was linked to better self-assessed health among Swedish speakers in a bilingual region of Finland (Hyyppa and Maki 2001). Ecological analyses have shown higher social capital to be associated with lower mortality at state (Kawachi et al 1997) and neighbourhood (Lochner et al 2003) levels in the United States. Wilkinson (1996) has proposed social cohesion as an explanation for the link between inequalities (e.g.…”

This secondary analysis of the Health Survey for England 2000 aimed to investigate whether individual-level social capital is associated with care home residence and with function, mental health, and self-assessed health in older adults. Older adults in both care home and community residential settings were included. Two indicators of social capital, perceived social support and group participation, were considered for both care home and community-dwelling respondents. Amongst community dwellers, trust in others was considered as a third indicator. Functional impairment, psychiatric morbidity, and self-assessed health were used as indicators of health. Multivariable modelling was undertaken using logistic or ordinal logistic regression. The results show that severe lack of social support was associated with over twice the odds of care home residence, with increased odds of psychiatric morbidity in both care home and community settings, and with more severe functional impairment and worse self-assessed health in the community but not in care homes. Participation in more groups was associated with lower odds of functional impairment in both settings, and with lower odds of psychiatric morbidity and better self-assessed health among community but not among care home respondents. High levels of trust were associated with lower severity of functional impairment, reduced odds of psychiatric morbidity, and better self-assessed health. It is concluded that individual-level social capital was associated with care home residence and with indicators of physical, mental and self-assessed health. These associations differed between community and care home settings, and were generally stronger in the community.
