这项研究响应了关于对社会经济地位的概念化和衡量进行更多研究的呼吁，而不仅仅是考虑教育、职业和收入变量。信用卡使用和信用卡债务是发达国家日益增长的现象。使用1997年俄亥俄州900多名成年人的代表性样本的数据，我们探讨了信用卡债务和债务压力如何与健康相关。我们发现，信用卡债务和债务压力都与健康有关。此外，健康行为和风险解释了这种关联的一部分。(C)2000由爱思唯尔科学有限公司出版。版权所有。
This research responds to the call for more research on the conceptualization and measurement of socio-economic status that moves beyond merely considering education, occupation and income variables. Credit card usage and credit card debt is a growing phenomenon in developed countries. Using data from a 1997 representative sample of more than 900 adults in Ohio, we explored how credit card debt and stress regarding debt is associated with health. We found that both credit card debt and stress regarding debt are associated with health. In addition, health behaviors and risks explain part of this association.
