RESUMEN
El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la asociación entre el nivel educativo alcanzado con el bienestar emocional y la salud mental de los españoles. Un total de 29.478 personas adultas participaron en la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de España 2006, encontrándose que un nivel educativo bajo se asocia con peor salud mental (OR 1.65 hombres y OR 2.36 mujeres), valoración mala o muy mala de la salud (OR 2.10 hombres y OR 2.53 mujeres), menor apoyo social (OR 1.31 hombres y OR 1.66 mujeres) y sedentarismo (OR 2.09 hombres y OR 1.80 mujeres). En la muestra estudiada, el nivel educativo es un factor asociado a diferentes dimensiones de la salud relacionadas con el bienestar subjetivo y la salud mental.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the educational level with the perceived emotional well-being and the mental health of the Spanish population. In a total of 29,478 adults, participating in the Spanish National Health Survey 2006, we found that low education level is related with poor mental health (OR 1.65 in men and OR 2.36 in women), poor or very poor self-perceived health (OR 2.10 OR 2.53 for men and women), less social support (OR 1.31 OR 1.66 for men and women) and inactivity (OR 2.09 OR 1.80 for men and women). In the Spanish population the educational level is an associated factor related with different health dimensions and to the subjective well-being and mental health perceptions.
