“…These findings could be explained by the fact that men are more prone to discomfort because of housing conditions, which is in turn related to gender roles and its impact on self-reported health. In traditional patriarchal systems, men are seen as the primary family breadwinners, and not being able to meet a desired standard could affect men’s health more than women’s [1, 27,43].…”

“…Moreover, scientific evidence supports the idea that self-reported health differs according to social class and job insecurity [29], with important differences by sex and gender [30]. It is therefore relevant to analyze confinement's effects on selfperceived health, particularly because of its potential to explain and interpret inequities as explanatory factors of health in the lockdown context, as has been shown by other studies in the region [1]. Therefore, our aim was to examine the association between self-reported health status and its associated factors during Ecuador's COVID-19 lockdown.…”

“…The dependent variable was self-reported health status, with five response options on a Likert scale, which was then dichotomized into good self-perceived health (very good and good) and poor self-perceived health (fair, poor, and very poor), which has been used for similar purposes in other studies [1,27,28].…”

“…Globally, lockdown's impact on physical and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic has been well-documented [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In several countries worldwide, lockdowns cause a high incidence of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychological distress, and other types of stress in the general population [7][8][9].…”

ObjectiveTo examine the associations of sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors with depression, anxiety, and self-reported health status during the COVID-19 lockdown in Ecuador. We also assessed the differences in these associations between women and men.Design, setting, and participantsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of adults living in Ecuador between July and October 2020. All data were collected through an online survey. We ran descriptive and bivariate analyses and fitted sex-stratified multivariate logistic regression models to assess the association between explanatory variables and self-reported health status.Results1801 women and 1123 men completed the survey. Their median (IQR) age was 34 (27–44) years, most participants had a university education (84%) and a full-time public or private job (63%); 16% of participants had poor health self-perception. Poor self-perceived health was associated with severe depression, COVID-19 infection, and chronic diseases. For women, and self-employment, having cohabitants requiring care, having COVID-19 and having a chronic disease increased the likelihood of having poor self-reported health status. For men, poor self-reported health status was associated with perceived poor or inadequate housing and depression.ConclusionBeing female, having solely public healthcare system access, perceiving housing conditions as inadequate, living with cohabitants requiring care, perceiving difficulties in coping with work or managing household chores, COVID-19 infection, chronic disease, and depression symptoms were significantly and independently associated with poor self-reported health status in Ecuadorian population.

“…In LA countries, a worse quality of life [ 9 ] and greater emotional distress have been observed among young people [ 10 ], especially women [ 11 ], as an effect of COVID-19 lockdown. In addition, self-perceived health (SPH)—an indicator of people’s health, the use of health services, and mortality [ 12 , 13 ]—has worsened, especially among older women [ 14 ].…”

COVID-19 lockdowns greatly affected the mental health of populations and collectives. This study compares the mental health and self-perceived health in five countries of Latin America and Spain, during the first wave of COVID 19 lockdown, according to social axes of inequality. This was a cross-sectional study using an online, self-managed survey in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Spain. Self-perceived health (SPH), anxiety (measured through GAD-7) and depression (measured through PHQ-9) were measured along with lockdown, COVID-19, and social variables. The prevalence of poor SPH, anxiety, and depression was calculated. The analyses were stratified by gender (men = M; women = W) and country. The data from 39,006 people were analyzed (W = 71.9%). There was a higher prevalence of poor SPH and bad mental health in women in all countries studied. Peru had the worst SPH results, while Chile and Ecuador had the worst mental health indicators. Spain had the lowest prevalence of poor SPH and mental health. The prevalence of anxiety and depression decreased as age increased. Unemployment, poor working conditions, inadequate housing, and the highest unpaid workload were associated with worse mental health and poor SPH, especially in women. In future policies, worldwide public measures should consider the great social inequalities in health present between and within countries in order to tackle health emergencies while reducing the health breach between populations.
