Özet:

 This study examines the determinants of self-reported health SRH among 1,674 middle-aged Canadians using data from the seventh wave of the World Values Survey WVS-7 collected between 2017 and 2022. A probit regression model was employed to analyse the influence of various factors on health outcomes. The findings highlight that perceived socioeconomic status PSES plays a significant role in health, with individuals in higher socioeconomic classes reporting significantly lower probabilities of poor health. Contrary to expectations, traditional demographic factors such as foreign-born status, gender, marital status, language proficiency, ethnicity, and education levels do not significantly predict poor health. The analysis of interaction terms between PSES and these variables revealed no significant interaction effects, indicating that the impact of PSES on health is consistent across different subgroups. Additionally, being employed and having children at home were identified as protective factors against poor health. Regional variations were mostly insignificant, except for Prince Edward Island, where residents were less likely to report poor health. The study underscores the importance of improving socioeconomic conditions to reduce health disparities and enhance public health among middle-aged Canadians.

 Bu çalışma, 2017-2022 yılları arasında toplanan Dünya Değerler Anketinin WVS-7 yedinci dalgasından elde edilen verileri kullanarak, 1.674 orta yaşlı Kanadalı arasında kişisel beyanlı sağlık durumunun KBSD belirleyicilerini incelemektedir. Sağlık sonuçları üzerindeki çeşitli faktörlerin etkisini analiz etmek için probit regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, algılanan sosyoekonomik statünün ASES sağlık üzerinde önemli bir rol oynadığını ve daha yüksek sosyoekonomik sınıflarda yer alan bireylerin kötü sağlık bildirme olasılıklarının anlamlı derecede düşük olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Beklentilerin aksine, göçmen olma durumu, cinsiyet, medeni durum, dil yeterliliği, etnik köken ve eğitim seviyeleri gibi geleneksel demografik faktörler kötü sağlık üzerinde anlamlı bir etkide bulunmamaktadır. ASES ile bu değişkenler arasındaki etkileşim terimlerinin analizi de anlamlı etkileşim etkileri göstermemiş, ASESin sağlık üzerindeki etkisinin farklı alt gruplar arasında tutarlı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, istihdam ve evde çocuk sahibi olmanın kötü sağlığa karşı koruyucu faktörler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bölgesel farklılıklar çoğunlukla önemsiz olmakla birlikte, Prens Edward Adasında yaşayanların kötü sağlık bildirme olasılığı daha düşük bulunmuştur. Çalışma, sağlık eşitsizliklerini azaltmak ve orta yaşlı Kanadalılar arasında halk sağlığını iyileştirmek için sosyoekonomik koşulların iyileştirilmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
