How socio-political change is associated with the number of individually reported negative life events: a population-based study using the German reunification 1989/1990 as an example

Conclusion Our findings suggest that although some individuals experience a marked increase in NLEs due to socio-political changes, many remain unaffected, emphasising the need for a differentiated understanding of these effects. This increase in NLEs may partly account for ongoing health and well-being disparities among countries with differing transformation histories.
