Zusammenfassung

Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die vielschichtigen Einflüsse privater Lebensformen auf die Förderung und Erhaltung von Gesundheit. Aus theoretischer Sicht lassen sich partnerschaftliche Lebensformen mit oder ohne gemeinsamen Haushalt und (nicht-)familiale Lebensformen ohne bzw. mit Kindern differenzieren. Einem aus der Forschungsliteratur abgeleiteten Modell zufolge lassen sich verschiedene Wirkmechanismen identifizieren: zum einen die Verfügbarkeit ökonomischer Ressourcen, zum anderen soziale Ressourcen, welche in Form sozialer Unterstützung oder sozialer Verhaltenskontrolle die Gesundheit beeinflussen. Während mit steigendem Institutionalisierungsgrad der Lebensform der Zugang zu den genannten Ressourcen – und damit die Möglichkeiten der Gesundheitsförderung und -prävention – in der Regel verbessert wird, sind die Vorhersagen bei familialen Lebensformen komplexer: Neben der Parität und dem Timing von Elternschaft kommt es hier insbesondere auf die Qualität der Familienbeziehungen an.
