采用各种措施来评估1,034名HMO老年（65岁以上）成员的心理社会困扰和感知健康状况之间的关系。痛苦是通过最近的生活事件，四种类型的社会压力，和CES-D，抑郁/士气低落的措施来衡量的。这些措施和感知健康状况的分布表明，这一样本是相对健康和无痛苦的。每组变量之间的关联强度很大，但一般都很小。使用分层多元回归分析与人口统计学变量，社会支持和宗教信仰作为控制，最强的关联是健康状况和CES-D，生活事件，财务压力和单身压力（仅未婚受访者）之间。
A variety of measures was used to assess the relationship of psychosocial distress and perceived health status among 1,034 older (65+) members of an HMO. Distress was measured by recent life events, four types of social strain, and the CES-D, a measure of depression/demoralization. The distributions of these measures and perceived health status indicate that this sample was relatively healthy and undistressed. The strength of the associations within each group of variables is significant but generally modest. Using hierarchical multiple regression analysis with demographic variables, social support, and religiosity as controls, the strongest associations are between health status and the CES-D, life events, financial strain, and the strain of being single (unmarried respondents only).
