Mental well-being of the general population: direct and indirect effects of socioeconomic, relational and health factors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to analyse the association between individual mental well-being and social, economic, lifestyle and health factors.

Methods

Cross-sectional study on a representative sample of 13,632 participants (> 15y/o) from the Catalan Health Interview Survey 2013-2016 editions. Mental well-being was assessed with the Warwick-Edinburg Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Linear regressions were fitted to associate well-being and sociodemographic, relational, lifestyle and health variables according to minimally sufficient adjustment sets identified using directed acyclic graphs. Predictors entered the model in blocks of variable types and analysed individually. Direct and total effects were estimated.

Results

Health factors significantly contributed
