abstract: 'Background: Women experience poorer health than men despite their longer
life expectancy, due to a higher prevalence of non-fatal chronic
illnesses. This paper aims to explore whether the unequal gender
distribution of roles and resources can account for inequalities in
general self-rated health (SRH) by gender, across social classes, in a
Southern European population.
Methods: Cross-sectional study of residents in Catalonia aged 25-64,
using data from the 2006 population living conditions survey (n =
5,817). Poisson regression models were used to calculate the fair/poor
SRH prevalence ratio (PR) by gender and to estimate the contribution of
variables assessing several dimensions of living conditions as the
reduction in the PR after their inclusion in the model. Analyses were
stratified by social class (non-manual and manual).
Results: SRH was poorer for women among both non-manual (PR 1.39, 95\%
CI 1.09-1.76) and manual social classes (PR 1.36, 95\% CI 1.20-1.56).
Adjustment for individual income alone eliminated the association
between sex and SRH, especially among manual classes (PR 1.01, 95\% CI
0.85-1.19; among non-manual 1.19, 0.92-1.54). The association was also
reduced when adjusting by employment conditions among manual classes,
and household material and economic situation, time in household chores
and residential environment among non-manual classes.
Discussion: Gender inequalities in individual income appear to
contribute largely to women''s poorer health. Individual income may
indicate the availability of economic resources, but also the history of
access to the labour market and potentially the degree of independence
and power within the household. Policies to facilitate women''s labour
market participation, to close the gender pay gap, or to raise
non-contributory pensions may be helpful to improve women''s health.'
