来自IGEMS联盟的数据来自26，579名年龄在23至102岁之间的人，涉及3个主观健康项目：自测健康（SRH），与他人相比的健康（COMP）和健康对活动的影响（ACT）。婚姻状况是环境资源的标志，可能会缓和遗传和环境对主观健康的影响。3个主观健康项目的结果不同，表明它们不采用相同的结构。虽然婚姻状况对女性方差分量的影响很小，但婚姻状况对男性所有3项主观健康指标的方差影响很大。对于SRH和ACT，单身男性比已婚男性表现出更大的共享和非共享环境差异。对于COMP变量，单身男性的遗传方差大于已婚男性。结果表明，婚姻作为与主观健康相关的资源来源的作用存在性别差异。
From the IGEMS Consortium, data were available from 26,579 individuals aged 23 to 102 years on 3 subjective health items: self-rated health (SRH), health compared to others (COMP), and impact of health on activities (ACT). Marital status was a marker of environmental resources that may moderate genetic and environmental influences on subjective health. Results differed for the 3 subjective health items, indicating that they do not tap the same construct. Although there was little impact of marital status on variance components for women, marital status was a significant modifier of variance in all 3 subjective health measures for men. For both SRH and ACT, single men demonstrated greater shared and nonshared environmental variance than married men. For the COMP variable, genetic variance was greater for single men vs. married men. Results suggest gender differences in the role of marriage as a source of resources that are associated with subjective health.
