摘要
This study examined associations between self-rated health and combinations of social participation and trust among ageing people in three living areas of Finland (N = 2815, 66% response rate). Social participation and trust combinations were: low social capital (low participation/low trust), traditionalism (low/high), "the miniaturisation of community" (high/ low) and high social capital (high/high). The highest rate of good self-rated health was found among the high social capital group, but after adjusting for background variables, statistical significance remained only in the urban area. High social capital measured at an individual level may thus promote health among ageing people. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
