Abstract: | <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Few of the many past studies of interpersonal differences in reaction to illness have investigated social determinants of convalescence, particularly with regard to convalescence from physical trauma. In this study a group of patients with uncomplicated nose fractures was followed closely from initial treatment at a large hospital in Denmark to self‐reported recovery. Rapid recovery among patients aged 15–26 was found to be associated with larger household size and higher socio‐economic status. Recovery time among patients aged 27–56 was not related to any of the social factors investigated in this study.</jats:p> |
