          Abstract

          Se estima la probabilidad conjunta de ser feliz y tener buena salud controlando el efecto de características económicas, sociales y demográficas. Se estimó un modelo probit bivariado empleando datos de la encuesta World Values Survey para Argentina en 1995 y 2006. Los resultados indican que la probabilidad de tener buena salud y de ser feliz incrementa a medida que lo hace el nivel socioeconómico y el nivel de confianza en las instituciones por parte de los individuos. Se concluye que es posible incrementar la salud y el bienestar subjetivo de las personas en desventaja socioeconómica fortaleciendo el capital social.

          On estime la probabilité conjointe d'être heureux et en bonne santé en contrôlant l'effet des caractéristiques économiques, sociales et démographiques. Un modèle probit bivarié a été conçu en utilisant les données de l'enquête World Values Survey pour l'Argentine en 1995 et 2006. Les résultats indiquent que la probabilité d'être en bonne santé et d'être heureux augmente dans la mesure où le niveau socioéconomique et le niveau de confiance des individus dans les institutions augmentent. L'article conclut qu'il est possible d'améliorer la santé et le bien-être subjectif des personnes en désavantage socioéconomique par un renforcement du capital social.

          The probability of being happy and have good health is jointly estimated controlling by economic, social and demographic characteristics. A bivariate probit model is estimated using data from the World Values Survey for Argentina in 1995 and 2006. The results show the probability of being healthy and happy increases with the socioeconomic status of individuals and the confidence level in institutions. It is concluded that it is possible to positively affect the health and well-being of people in social and economic disadvantages encouraging and promoting policies to foster the strengthening of social capital.

              Social determinants of health--a question of social or economic capital? Interaction effects of socioeconomic factors on health outcomes.

              Social structures and socioeconomic patterns are the major determinants of population health. However, very few previous studies have simultaneously analysed the "social" and the "economic" indicators when addressing social determinants of health. We focus on the relevance of economic and social capital as health determinants by analysing various indicators. The aim of this paper was to analyse independent associations, and interactions, of lack of economic capital (economic hardships) and social capital (social participation, interpersonal and political/institutional trust) on various health outcomes. Data was derived from the 2009 Swedish National Survey of Public Health, based on a randomly selected representative sample of 23,153 men and 28,261 women aged 16-84 year, with a participation rate of 53.8%. Economic hardships were measured by a combined economic hardships measure including low household income, inability to meet expenses and lacking cash reserves. Social capital was measured by social participation, interpersonal (horizontal) trust and political (vertical/institutional trust) trust in parliament. Health outcomes included; (i) self-rated health, (i) psychological distress (GHQ-12) and (iii) musculoskeletal disorders. Results from multivariate logistic regression show that both measures of economic capital and low social capital were significantly associated with poor health status, with only a few exceptions. Significant interactive effects measured as synergy index were observed between economic hardships and all various types of social capital. The synergy indices ranged from 1.4 to 2.3. The present study adds to the evidence that both economic hardships and social capital contribute to a range of different health outcomes. Furthermore, when combined they potentiate the risk of poor health. Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
