Housing tenure and car access: further exploration of the nature of their relations with health in a UK setting: Table 1

Abstract

Housing tenure and car access predict longevity and health in many European countries.It is usually assumed that they do so only because they are markers of other material determinants of health.However, in a previous paper we showed that both variables were still significantly associated with several health outcomes after controls for age, sex, and income. 1 Here we replicate and extend that analysis in another sample, examining whether observed relations between tenure or car access and health remain after controlling for alternative measures of material assets (social class and income), and, following suggestions that socioeconomic gradients in health may diVer between men and women, 2 whether there are interactions with gender. MethodsA postal questionnaire, with three follow ups, achieved a response rate of 50% (42% male, 58% female), from a random sample of 6500 adults from the electoral roll in eight local authority areas in the west of Scotland in 1997.We examined four domains of self assessed health: chronic, recent and mental health problems, and health in general, measured respectively by the presence/absence of limiting longstanding illness, the number of 20 common symptoms experienced during the past month, the depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale 3 and perceived health over the past year as either excellent/ good or fair/poor.Social class was based on own occupation, using registrar general's classification, income was household income
