The multivariate general linear regression was used to investigate the association between the combined effect of work and family-related stress and health functioning.Results It was found that the scores of health functioning in high work-family stress group were lower significantly than those in low work-family stress group respectively ( P <0.01). The results of the multivariate general linear regression analysis showed all scores of health functioning were associated negatively with the combination of high work and family stress ( P <0.01). Dose-response relationships could be observed.Conclusion The psychosocial stress from work and family had adverse effects on health functioning in urban female working population and the strongest effect can be found in those women who were exposed to doublestress.
