Abstract

The present study explored associations between individual economic stressors, community disadvantage, alcohol use, and physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in middle adulthood. We analyzed two waves of survey and census tract data from a national sample of N = 1359 adults ages 40–61 (65.0 % women). High economic stress was associated with poor physical and mental HRQoL, and high community disadvantage was linked to poor physical HRQoL only. High alcohol use predicted high physical and mental HRQoL, and low misuse predicted high mental HRQoL only. There was no evidence of mediation, and gender, age, and race moderated a subset of model paths. The discussion considers future directions for research and implications for social policy.

中年人的经济压力、酒精使用与健康相关的生活质量

本研究探讨了中年个体经济压力、社区劣势、酒精使用与身心健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）之间的关系。我们分析了来自全国样本N = 1359名40-61岁成年人（65.0%为女性）的两波调查和人口普查区数据。较高的经济压力与较差的身体和精神HRQoL相关，而较高的社区劣势仅与较差的身体HRQoL相关。高酒精使用预测高身体和精神HRQoL，低酒精滥用预测高精神HRQoL。没有证据表明存在中介作用，性别、年龄和种族调节了模型路径的子集。讨论考虑了未来的研究方向和对社会政策的影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
