Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In order to understand how health can be preserved under very stressful conditions Antonovsky has introduced the concept of sense of coherence (SOC). A number of studies have also been able to show a relationship between SOC and health. Although explicitly developed to explain healthiness among persons exposed to extreme stress, differences in SOC ought to be an additional explanation for differences in ill health between individuals and between groups of people. Focusing on the health consequences of having a low SOC could be one way of reaching a better understanding of the social differentiation of ill health. In this paper we focus on the distribution of low SOC over social classes, age groups and between men and women and the relationship between low SOC on the one hand and psychological distress and circulatory problems on the other. The data set includes 3,949 persons who were 25-75 years old in 1991 and who participated in both the 1981 and 1991 waves of the Swedish Level of Living Survey. The analyses show that workers and farmers have a greater than average risk of reporting a low SOC, whereas the opposite is true for white-collar workers and the self-employed. Older people also tend to run a higher risk of having a low SOC. On the other hand, men and women do not differ. We also find a strong relationship between a low SOC and mental and circulatory health problems, when controlling for age, sex and social class. This relationship is weaker but still strongly significant when possible confounding variables are controlled for.
