Household food insecurity, sense of community belonging, and access to a regular medical doctor as mediators in the relationship between mood and/or anxiety disorders and self-rated general health in Canada between 2011 and 2016: a serial cross-sectional analysis
2022
Overview
ObjectiveTo assess whether (household) food insecurity, access to a regular medical doctor, and sense of community belonging mediate the relationship between mood and/or anxiety disorders and self-rated general health.MethodsWe used six annual cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey, including Canadian adults aged 18–59 years, between 2011 and 2016. Mediation models, adjusted for key determinants of health, were based on a series of weighted logistic regression models. The Sobel products of coefficients approach was used to estimate the indirect effect, and bootstrapping to estimate uncertainty.ResultsThe annual (weighted) prevalence of mood and/or anxiety disorders increased from 11.3% (2011) to 13.2% (2016). Across the 6 years, 23.9–27.7% of individuals with mood and/or anxiety disorders reported fair/poor self-rated health as compared with 4.9–6.5% of those without mood and/or anxiety disorders (p<0.001). Similarly, the 7.2–8.9% of the population reporting fair/poor self-rated health were disproportionately represented among individuals reporting food insecurity (21.1–26.2%, p<0.001) and a weak sense of community belonging (10.0–12.2%, p<0.001). A significantly lower prevalence of poor self-rated health was observed among respondents reporting having access to a regular medical doctor in 2012, 2015, and 2016. In 2016, sense of community belonging and food insecurity significantly mediated the effect of mood and/or anxiety disorders on self-rated general health. Access to a regular medical doctor did not mediate this relationship.ConclusionEfficient policies that address food insecurity and sense of community belonging are needed to decrease the mental health burden and improve health satisfaction of Canadians.
