What did studies of Housing status find?

2

Studies of Housing status measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are psychosis (1 study) and total NPI score (1).

Psychosis

1 study

  1. Housing status decreases psychosis in humans (β=-0.36, 95%CI=-0.66 to -0.05, P = 0.025).

    “and lower psychosis scores (β=-0.36, 95%CI=-0.66 to -0.05, P = 0.025), after controlling for socioeconomic status (SES) indexes.”

Total NPI score

1 study

  1. Housing status decreases total NPI score in humans (β=-0.50, 95%CI=-0.95 to -0.04, P = 0.032).

    “Compared with those living in 1-2 room apartments, older adults in better housing had lower total NPI scores (β=-0.50, 95%CI=-0.95 to -0.04, P = 0.032)”

What is Housing status linked with?

2

Studies link Housing status with 2 measures, most often significant neuropsychiatric symptoms (1 study) and neuropsychiatric symptoms (1).

Significant neuropsychiatric symptoms

1 study

  1. Housing status lowers the risk of significant neuropsychiatric symptoms in humans (OR = 0.20, 95%CI = 0.08 to 0.46, P < 0.01).

    “and significant NPS profile (OR = 0.20, 95%CI = 0.08 to 0.46, P < 0.01), after controlling for demographics, risk factors, and cognitive performance.”
