Abstract

Using the Canadian Housing Survey, 2018–2019, we examined self-reported general and mental health among tenants residing in various housing types, including cooperative, non-profit, government, and private housing. Adjusting for confounders, we discovered that tenants in not-for-profit housing reported the highest odds, over four and half times (odds ratio 4.63), of poor general health compared to tenants in privately owned housing in Canada. On the other hand, the odds were reversed for tenants in cooperative housing and government housing, with 24% and 33% lower odds of poor general health, respectively, compared to tenants in privately owned housing. Moreover, we found that tenants in not-for-profit (1.26) and government housing (1.43) reported higher odds of poor mental health. On the other hand, tenants in cooperative housing reported 42% lower odds of poor mental health than tenants in privately owned housing. Furthermore, we observed variations in the odds of poor general and poor mental health among tenants from different equity-seeking groups across different housing types. These findings highlight the importance of considering housing type and equity factors in understanding health outcomes among tenants.

租房类型与自我报告的一般健康和心理健康状况：来自2018-2019年加拿大住房调查的证据

利用 2018-2019 年加拿大住房调查，我们研究了居住在各种住房类型（包括合作住房、非营利住房、政府住房和私人住房）的租户自我报告的一般健康和心理健康情况。在对混杂因素进行调整后，我们发现，与加拿大私有住房的租户相比，非营利住房的租户报告一般健康状况不良的几率最高，超过4.5倍（几率比4.63）。另一方面，合作住房和政府住房的租户的几率则相反，与私有住房的租户相比，他们的总体健康状况差的几率分别低 24% 和 33%。此外，我们还发现，非营利性住房租户（1.26）和政府住房租户（1.43）的心理健康状况较差的几率较高。另一方面，合作建房租户的心理健康状况不佳几率比私有住房租户低 42%。此外，我们还观察到，在不同类型的住房中，来自不同公平追求群体的租户的一般健康状况较差和精神健康状况较差的几率也不尽相同。这些发现凸显了在了解租户的健康状况时考虑住房类型和公平因素的重要性。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) (ISSN 1660-4601) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes, and short communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. It links several scientific disciplines including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, computer science, ecology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, oncology, pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology, in an integrated fashion, to address critical issues related to environmental quality and public health. Therefore, IJERPH focuses on the publication of scientific and technical information on the impacts of natural phenomena and anthropogenic factors on the quality of our environment, the interrelationships between environmental health and the quality of life, as well as the socio-cultural, political, economic, and legal considerations related to environmental stewardship and public health.
