Quality of life and rural place of residence in Polish women - population based study.

Paweł Zagożdżon, Emilia Kolarzyk, T Marcinkowski · 2011 · PubMed

Summary. Rural Polish women aged 45-60 report worse physical health but better mental health than urban counterparts. Rural residence independently predicts poor physical health outcomes. Retirement, social pension receipt, prolonged illness, and specialist consultations increase physical health risks. Higher education and medical access protect mental health. The study identifies rural residence as strongly linked to environmental and psychosocial factors affecting women's wellbeing.
