目标.我们探讨了封闭式住房与淋病发病率和过早死亡率之间的关系。在这项对107个美国城市的生态研究中，我们开发了几个模型，预测65岁之前淋病和过早死亡的比率，这些比率来自所有原因和特定原因。我们控制了种族、贫困、教育、人口变化和健康保险覆盖范围。结果。在控制了社会人口学因素后，封闭的住房仍然是淋病发病率、全因过早死亡率、恶性肿瘤、糖尿病、凶杀和自杀导致的过早死亡率的预测因子。用木板封住的住房可能与死亡风险有关，因为它对社会关系和从事健康行为的机会有潜在的不利影响。社区的物质条件作为影响健康和福祉的一个潜在的全球因素值得进一步考虑。
Objectives. We explored the relationship between boarded-up housing and rates of gonorrhea and premature mortality.Methods. In this ecological study of 107 US cities, we developed several models predicting rates of gonorrhea and premature death before age 65 from all causes and from specific causes. We controlled for race, poverty, education, population change, and health insurance coverage.Results. Boarded-up housing remained a predictor of gonorrhea rates, all-cause premature mortality, and premature mortality due to malignant neoplasms, diabetes, homicide, and suicide after control for sociodemographic factors.Conclusions. Boarded-up housing may be related to mortality risk because of its potential adverse impact on social relationships and opportunities to engage in healthful behaviors. Neighborhood physical conditions deserve further consideration as a potential global factor influencing health and well-being.
