The effect of control at home on XXXX events in the Whitehall II study: Gender differences in psychosocial domestic pathways to social inequalities in @entity301 .

@entity1 @entity2673 @entity301
Although there has been considerable research on @entity2673 and their effect on physical and mental health, there has been little research into the effects of psychosocial domestic conditions on health. The association between @entity2673 (and control at work in particular) and @entity301 ( @entity301 ) is not as strong for @entity1 compared to @entity1 . Other research suggests that household and domestic factors may have an important effect on @entity1 's health. Some studies have shown that low control at home affects psychological well being. However, there has been little research into its effects on physical health. Furthermore, similar to results analysing low control at work, low control at home may form part of the pathways underlying social inequalities in health. The study investigates the meaning of control at home, the effect of control at home on incident @entity301 events and whether this explains some of the social inequalities in @entity301 events in @entity1 and @entity1 . Data from phases 3-5 of the Whitehall II study, London, UK, were analysed (N = 7470). The results indicate that low control at home predicts @entity301 among @entity1 but not among @entity1 . Furthermore, low control at home may explain part of the association between household social position and @entity301 among @entity1 . There is some evidence suggesting that low control at home among @entity1 results from a lack of material and psychological resources to cope with excessive household and family demands. Psychosocial domestic conditions may have a greater effect on the health of @entity1 compared with @entity1 .
