Preventive Medicine, 10/20/09
Li C et al. – The prevalence of life dissatisfaction was estimated to be 5.0% among adults. People with one, two, and three health risk factors were, respectively, 2.2, 3.7, and 5.8 times more likely to report life dissatisfaction than those without. People with one, two, and three or more chronic illnesses were, respectively, 1.8, 3.6, and 5.0 times more likely to report life dissatisfaction than those without. After adjustment for self–rated health and other potential confounding variables, the associations were attenuated but remained significant for the number of health risk factors and the number of chronic illnesses. Clustering of health risk factors or chronic illnesses was associated with life dissatisfaction independently of self–rated health and other established correlates.
