  • 摘要:OBJECTIVES: We examined differences in demographics/socio-economics, lifestyles and mental/ physical health between victimized/non-victimized men, and identified/quantified factors associated with mental/physical health. STUDY DESIGN: The study design was cross-sectional. METHODS: The men were assessed in various areas (e.g., depression) by means of a questionnaire. RESULTS: The univariate analyses showed that victims compared with non-victims were younger. They also had higher intermediate education levels, were more often blue-collar/low white-collar workers, were on student allowances and financially strained, smoked more, had a lower BMI, and reported headaches, depression, tension and cognitive difficulties more frequently. The regression analyses showed that financial strain rather than violence was a more important factor for ill-health. Only headaches and cognitive difficulties were associated with violence. CONCLUSIONS: Quite an number of men were in a poor physical/mental state, but there were few differences between victims/non-victims. Financial strain was determined to be a more important factor for ill-health than violence. Our data indicate that violence had little effect on men's health. Our findings do not generally support a relationship between poor health and the abuse of men.Keywords: financial strain; general population; physical/mental health; violence(Int J Circumpolar Health 2007; 66(4):351-364)
