Neighbourhood quality and self-rated health: A survey of eight suburban neighbourhoods in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area
چکیده انگلیسی
We investigated the relationship between perceptions of neighbourhood quality and self-rated health for residents of eight suburban neighbourhoods with modestly contrasting income profiles in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area. Survey respondents from lower income neighbourhoods more often rated their health as fair/poor, and perceived their neighbourhood to be of poor quality. The strongest predictors for fair/poor health status were employment status, body mass index, neighbourhood satisfaction, and age, while modest predictors were annual household income, neighbourhood median income profile, and perceptions of neighbourhood safety. The unique contribution of this study is its demonstration that social gradients in self-rated health are observable between neighbourhoods of even modestly contrasting income profiles.
