摘要

主观幸福感与许多积极的健康结果有关。然而，很少有人知道这些有利的结果是否转化为就诊次数的减少。使用来自澳大利亚的大规模面板数据，我们发现生活满意度高的个体需要较少的访问他们的家庭医生或全科医生。我们还提供了这种关系背后的途径的证据，表明一个人的饮食可以很好地解释这种关系。在使用Heckman的方法纠正样本选择偏差以及控制各种混杂因素后，这些发现仍然存在。

Well-being and doctor visits: The mediating role of a healthy diet

Subjective well-being is associated with many positive health outcomes. However, little is known about whether these favourable outcomes translate into a reduction in the number of doctor visits. Using large-scale panel data from Australia, we find that individuals with high life satisfaction need fewer visits to their family doctor or general practitioner. We also present evidence on the pathways underlying this relationship, showing it is significantly explained by a person's diet. These findings remain after correcting for sample selection bias using Heckman's approach as well as controlling for various confounding factors.
