使用1995年底特律地区研究（N = 1106）的数据，结合1990年人口普查的区域级数据，本文评估了黑人和白色成年人的居住稳定性和身体健康之间的关系。结果表明，社区水平的健康变化主要是由个人的关键社会人口特征介导的（例如，年龄、种族和社会经济地位）。然而，社区之间的健康差异很大一部分是由于社区之间不同的压力水平。此外，高水平的邻里稳定性为增加的压力水平对成年人整体健康的有害影响提供了重要的缓冲。(C)2003 Elsevier Ltd.保留所有权利。
Using data from the 1995 Detroit Area Study (N = 1106) in conjunction with tract-level data from the 1990 census, this paper evaluates the relationship between residential stability and physical health among black and white adults. Results suggest that neighborhood-level variation in health is primarily mediated by key sociodemographic characteristics of individuals (e.g., age, race, and socioeconomic status). However, a significant portion of health differentials across neighborhoods is due to disparate stress levels across neighborhoods. Further, high levels of neighborhood stability provide an important buffer to the otherwise deleterious effects of increased stress levels on adults' overall health. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
