Abstract

Introduction: Homeownership is crucial for stability and healthy life. We examined the role of homeownership in predicting the prevalence of common chronic health conditions in the United States.

Methods: We used 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data (N = 401,958) to assess the association between homeownership and self-reported diagnosed diabetes, asthma, cancer, coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and kidney disease. We analyzed data by using logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, race and ethnicity, education, employment, and income and computed odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% CIs.

Results: Most survey participants (66.8%) owned their residences. Age, marital status, education, and income significantly influenced homeownership. Odds of homeownership progressively increased with age, reaching a peak at 17.45 (95% CI, 16.21-18.79) for adults aged 65 years or older, and non-Hispanic White adults had the highest odds (OR = 3.34; 95% CI, 3.18-3.52). Compared with renters, homeowners generally had lower prevalence of chronic health conditions, especially among those aged 45 to 64 years. After adjusting for age, sex, and race and ethnicity, the odds of having chronic health conditions among renters were higher than those of homeowners: CHD, 1.39 (1.27-1.52); diabetes, 1.27 (1.20-1.35); asthma, 1.29 (1.23-1.36); stroke, 1.89 (1.71-2.09); and kidney disease, 1.59 (1.44-1.77).

Conclusion: Homeownership can be used to predict the prevalence of several chronic health conditions. Considering its significant influence, public health initiatives should focus on housing-related interventions to improve population health.

房屋所有权很重要：房屋所有权对美国慢性病患病率的影响》（Homeownership Matters: Impact of Homeownership on the Prevalence of Chronic Health Conditions in the United States）。

介绍：拥有住房对稳定和健康的生活至关重要。我们研究了房屋所有权在预测美国常见慢性病患病率方面的作用：我们利用 2020 年行为风险因素监测系统数据（N = 401,958 人）评估了房屋所有权与自我报告的糖尿病、哮喘、癌症、冠心病（CHD）、中风和肾病之间的关系。我们使用逻辑回归法分析了数据，并对年龄、性别、种族和民族、教育程度、就业和收入进行了调整，计算了几率比（ORs）和相应的 95% CIs：大多数调查参与者（66.8%）拥有自己的住宅。年龄、婚姻状况、教育程度和收入对房屋所有权有显著影响。随着年龄的增长，拥有住房的几率逐渐增加，65 岁或以上的成年人拥有住房的几率最高，为 17.45（95% CI，16.21-18.79），非西班牙裔白人拥有住房的几率最高（OR = 3.34；95% CI，3.18-3.52）。与租房者相比，房主的慢性病患病率普遍较低，尤其是在 45 至 64 岁的人群中。在对年龄、性别、种族和民族进行调整后，租房者患有慢性病的几率高于房主：冠心病，1.39（1.27-1.52）；糖尿病，1.27（1.20-1.35）；哮喘，1.29（1.23-1.36）；中风，1.89（1.71-2.09）；肾病，1.59（1.44-1.77）：结论：房屋所有权可用于预测几种慢性疾病的患病率。考虑到其重大影响，公共卫生措施应侧重于与住房相关的干预措施，以改善人口健康。

期刊介绍： Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. The mission of PCD is to promote the open exchange of information and knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and others who strive to improve the health of the public through chronic disease prevention. The vision of PCD is to be the premier forum where practitioners and policy makers inform research and researchers help practitioners and policy makers more effectively improve the health of the population. Articles focus on preventing and controlling chronic diseases and conditions, promoting health, and examining the biological, behavioral, physical, and social determinants of health and their impact on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality across the life span.
