abstract: 'Objective: To investigate the relationship between social integration
and mortality at the aggregate level of analysis.
Method: The data were compiled from several Australian Bureau of
Statistics documents. The unit of analysis was State (Territory)-year.
The multivariate regression analysis included data from all States and
the Australian Capital Territory for 1990-96. Five indicators of social
integration percentage of people living alone; divorce rate;
unemployment rate; proportion of people who are discouraged job seekers;
and unionisation rate - were used as predictors of nine measures of
mortality.
Results: Higher levels of social integration, as measured by all
indicators except unionisation, were associated with lower mortality
rates. In the case of unionisation, higher levels were associated with
increased mortality rates.
Conclusion: Studies concerning the relationship between social
integration and health should investigate the `type'' and `level'' of
social integration that is conducive to better health.
Implications: To help reduce disparities in health and mortality across
communities, public health researchers and policy makers need to closely
monitor geographic and temporal trends in social integration measures.
Social policies that emphasise investment in social integration or
social capital through job creation and training, provision of gainful
employment and social services for discouraged and marginalised workers,
improved work conditions and social support may lower mortality directly
or through their beneficial effects on health-promoting behaviours such
as reduced levels of smelting, drinking and physical inactivity.'
