许多研究发现，自住者比租房者更长寿、更健康。流行病学家通常将住房使用权视为经济环境的代表，而不是直接促进健康或损害健康的影响。另一方面，住房研究人员倾向于研究可能直接影响健康的住房的生理和心理方面。将这两篇文献联系起来，我们分析了来自苏格兰成年人分层随机样本的近3000份邮寄问卷。特别是，我们研究了业主和社会租赁者之间的差异，这可能解释了观察到的租赁期在健康方面的差异。个人特征在很大程度上解释了房主和社会租客之间的差异，但一些居住和社区特征也起了作用。
Numerous studies have found that owner-occupiers live longer and stay healthier than renters. Epidemiologists often view housing tenure as a proxy for economic circumstances rather than as having directly health-promoting or damaging effects. Housing researchers, on the other hand, have tended to study physical and psychosocial aspects of housing that might directly impact upon health. Linking these two literatures, we analyzed nearly 3, 000 postal questionnaires from a stratified random sample of Scottish adults. In particular, we examined differences between owners and social renters that might explain observed tenure differences in health. Personal characteristics explained much of the difference between owners and social renters, but some dwelling and neighborhood characteristics also played a role.
