目的：这项研究评估了18至24岁年轻人的全国代表性样本（n = 121，478，代表超过2100万美国年轻人）中就业状况与死亡率之间的关系。研究方法：通过使用1986-2000年全国健康访谈调查及其到2002年的公共使用死亡率随访的数据，对2年随访后的死亡率（针对每个人）进行了基线就业状况回归，控制了性别，种族，教育，季节和调查设计。结果如下：有工作与全因死亡、凶杀和“其他原因”死亡的风险显著降低相关（调整后的优势比范围：0.51至0.60）。结论：工作似乎是防止年轻人过早死亡的一个因素;失业率上升可能导致年轻人未来死亡风险增加。
Objective: This study assessed the relationship between employment status and mortality over a 2-year period among a nationally representative sample of young adults aged 18 to 24 years (n = 121,478, representing more than 21 million US young adults). Methods: By using data from the 1986-2000 National Health Interview Survey and its public-use mortality follow-up through 2002, mortality after 2-year follow-up (for each individual) was regressed on employment status at baseline, controlling for gender, race, education, season, and survey design. Results: Having been employed was associated with significantly lower risks of all-cause, homicide, and "other-cause" mortality (adjusted odds ratios range: 0.51 to 0.60). Conclusion: Working appears to be a factor that may prevent premature mortality among young adults; increasing unemployment may result in increased mortality risks among young adults in the future.
