Javier author 2021-04-04 Self-perceived health has been used as a good estimator of health status and receiving affection can be a determining factor for good self-perceived health. The aim of the present study was to assess whether lack of social support (measured through Duke scale, which ranges from 11 to 55) was associated with poorer health status measured as self-perceived health, and whether that association was different between women and men. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2017 Spanish National Health Survey. A descriptive study was performed, and logistic regression models were applied using self-perceived health as a dependent variable. Mean Duke score was 47.6 for men and 47.9 for women (p = 0.016). Moreover, 36.3% of women and 27.6% of men reported poor self-perceived health (p < 0.001). The multivariate analysis revealed that lower scores in Duke-UNC social support scale were associated with poorer health status. That association was higher in women than in men. Poor self-perceived health was also associated with low level of education and obesity, especially among women. There was gender inequality as regards health status associated with lack of social support. These results can help design prevention strategies to improve health. 10.3390/jcm10071502 2077-0383 Journal of Clinical Medicine http://hdl.handle.net/10668/4280 33916528 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12105/18305 Self-perceived health Health status Social support Gender inequality Obesity Estado de salud Apoyo social Inequidad de género Obesidad Lack of Social Support and Its Role on Self-Perceived Health in a Representative Sample of Spanish Adults.
