Both income (P=0.002) and education (P=0.004) were related to health among the elderly ; education (P=0.035) to health among the middle-aged ; and neither among the youthful respondents. Frequency of socialization with work-mates (P=0.019) and attendance at religious services (P=0.034) had the strongest (and positive) relationships with health of the social engagement questions, even after controlling for human capital, and participation in clubs and associations was positively related to health among the elderly (P=0.009). But for commitment to one's own personal happiness (P=0.039), trust, commitment and identification of various kinds were not significantly related to health. Civic participation was also unrelated to health. (...) |
