在本文中，我们研究了感知的财务压力和各种健康指标之间的关联，包括自评健康，自我报告的功能能力，基于性能的流动性，和死亡率，在一个样本中的老年墨西哥裔个体。我们采用西班牙裔老年人流行病学研究的既定人口，在1993年和1994年对西南部五个州的3000多名墨西哥裔个体进行了为期八年的纵向调查。虽然财务压力与实际收入和贫困有关，但它也与认知能力，抑郁和自尊有关，虽然它与主观措施密切相关，但与更客观的措施，如基于绩效的流动性和死亡率的关联较弱。财务压力似乎是一系列认知和情绪的一部分，表明士气低落或士气低落，对主观健康有不利影响。
In this paper we examine the associations among perceived financial strain and various health measures-including self-rated health, self-reported functional capacity, performance-based mobility, and mortality-in a sample of older Mexican-origin individuals. We employ the Hispanic Established Population for Epidemiological Studies of the Elderly, an eight-year longitudinal survey of over 3, 000 Mexican-origin individuals in five southwestern states who were initially interviewed in 1993 and 1994. Although financial strain is associated with actual income and poverty, it is also associated with cognitive capacity, depression, and self-esteem, and while it is strongly associated with subjective measures, it has a weaker association with more objective measures, such as performance-based mobility and mortality. Financial strain appears to be part of a package of cognitions and emotions indicative of low morale or demoralization that has adverse effects on subjective health.
