“…No grupo dos que vivem sem companheiro, geralmente, os recursos econômi-cos são insuficientes, a integração social é mais fraca e a percepção do sentido da vida é mais negativa do que entre aqueles que dividem a vida com alguém 28 . Todos esses fatores provavelmente exerceram um papel na diminuição das chances de ingresso e manutenção do emprego.…”

“…Similarmente, os participantes com histórico de internação durante a vida tiveram menos chance de informar inserção no trabalho. É possível que prejuízos na esfera da formação e da socialização tenham enfraquecido a construção de habilidades técnicas e competências sociais muito valorizadas no atual mercado de trabalho 27,28,29 . O estigma geralmente produzido quando o sujeito se submete a internações psiquiátricas é mais um fator a ser considerado na interpretação dos resultados descritos.…”

“…However, the interactions between age and employment status and between birth cohort and marital status are no longer statistically significant in men when employment status, marital status and education are taken into account together. Several studies have shown that non-employment (Marchand et al 2012;Matthews et al 2001;Talala et al 2007;Walters et al 2002), being without a spouse (Marchand et al 2012;Matthews et al 2001;Talala et al 2007) and low educational level (Mandemakers and Monden 2010;Talala et al 2007;Walters et al 2002) are associated with psychological distress. To our knowledge, no studies have compared the effect of these variables on psychological distress in different age groups.…”

Gender differences in the age-cohort distribution of psychological distress in Canadian adults: findings from a national longitudinal survey

Background: Psychological distress is frequently used as an indicator of the mental health of a population. Overall, the mean level of distress is higher in women than in men and tends to decrease in both genders during adulthood. This pattern is primarily attributable to the differential exposure of women and men to specific risk factors over their lifetimes. However, the age distribution for distress may be confounded by a cohort effect. This study aimed to compare the age and birth cohort distribution of psychological distress by gender. Methods: This study was based on data from the National Population Health Survey, a longitudinal population survey conducted in Canada from 1994-1995 to 2010-2011. Growth curve analyses were performed separately in women (n = 9062) and in men (n = 7877) to examine the distribution of psychological distress by age group and birth cohort in Canadians aged 18 years and older.Results: The mean level of psychological distress is higher in women than in men in all age groups and all birth cohorts, and in the 18-29 age group than in older adults. Minor gender differences are found in the distribution of distress when age and birth cohort are examined jointly. In women, the mean level of distress decreases steadily beginning at age 18, reaches its lowest point in the 60-69 age group and rises thereafter without ever reaching the level observed in young adults. In men, it remains stable in the twenties and then follows a pattern similar to that observed in women. This age pattern is more apparent in more recent than in earlier cohorts and is related to variations in employment status, marital status and education during adulthood.Conclusions: Young adults and, to a lesser degree, seniors are at higher risk for psychological distress than other adults. To better understand the epidemiology of psychological distress, future research should focus on the risk factors that are more prevalent in these age groups. A starting point would be to evaluate how employment status, marital status and educational level change during adulthood and have changed over time in women and in men.

“…Correlations between SES and sleep disturbance have been documented in diverse mixed gender groups such as US community dwelling older adults (Hall, Buysse, & Nofzinger, et al, 2008) and New Zealand Maori and non-Maori adults (Paine, Gander, Harris, & Reid, 2004). Employment status was found to be associated with insomnia in Finnish men but not women (Talala, Huurre, Aro, Martelin & Prattala, 2008).…”

Gender disparity in sleep difficulties in young adults may be driven by higher rates of affective disorders in women. This paper investigated a range of factors as potential predictors of 'difficulty sleeping' in 9061 women aged 24-30 years, using survey data. Regression analyses and odds ratios showed that depression and anxiety symptoms were indeed the greatest predictors of difficulty sleeping. However, four variables (binge drinking, lower qualifications, dissatisfaction with excessive weight and a history of abuse) also made significant contributions to sleep difficulty when a range of other variables (including depression and anxiety symptoms) were statistically controlled. Affective problems often predict sleep difficulties in young women, but other predictors are also significant and not necessarily intertwined with anxiety and depression.
