The present study explored associations between individual economic stressors, community disadvantage, alcohol use, and physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in middle adulthood. We analyzed two waves of survey and census tract data from a national sample of = 1359 adults ages 40-61 (65.0% women). High economic stress was associated with poor physical and mental HRQoL, and high community disadvantage was linked to poor physical HRQoL only. High alcohol use predicted high physical and mental HRQoL, and low misuse predicted high mental HRQoL only. There was no evidence of mediation, and gender, age, and race moderated a subset of model paths. The discussion considers future directions for research and implications for social policy.
本研究探讨了中年人群中个体经济压力源、社区劣势、饮酒与身心健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)之间的关联。我们分析了来自全国1359名年龄在40 - 61岁成年人样本(65.0%为女性)的两轮调查和普查区数据。高经济压力与身心健康HRQoL较差相关,而高社区劣势仅与身体HRQoL较差有关。高饮酒量预示着高身心健康HRQoL,低滥用情况仅预示着高心理HRQoL。没有中介作用的证据,并且性别、年龄和种族调节了部分模型路径。讨论部分考虑了未来的研究方向以及对社会政策的影响。
