Financial problems and health complaints among farm couples: Results of a 10-year follow-up study.
对91对荷兰奶牛场夫妇进行10年追踪，发现丈夫的健康抱怨会预测夫妻双方的财务问题和妻子的健康抱怨，但财务问题不预测健康抱怨。
Over a 10-year period, this survey study of 91 Dutch dairy farm couples investigated both causal and reversed causal relationships between couples' financial problems and husbands' and wives' mental and physical health complaints, as well as crossover effects of mental and physical health complaints between spouses. These relationships were tested simultaneously using structural equation modeling analyses. Results showed that financial problems were not predictive of health complaints for either spouse but that husbands' health complaints did predict both couples' financial problems and wives' health complaints 10 years later. These findings emphasize the importance of mental and physical health as resources for both the business and the family. For wives, these effects were not found, which may reflect the different positions of husbands and wives at the farm and, hence, the different ways they allocate their resources.
