Materials and methods: A scoping review was carried out in five stages: 1-Designing a research question, 2- Searching and extracting research-dependent studies, 3- Selecting related studies, 4- Organizing and summarizing information and data, and 5. Reporting the results. Data collection was done in electronic databases, including MagIran, SID, Iran Doc, IranMedex, Scopus, Google scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Embase. The search keywords were women, female, feminine, lady, wife, Iran, Persian, Social capital, health, physical health, mental health, and social health in both Persian and English.
Results: Overall, 15 related articles were included in this review study. These studies were reviewed to organize the findings into three categories: the relationship between social capital with physical health, mental health, and social health.
Conclusion: According to current findings, women's health improves by increasing their social capital which is also increased by more health and education facilities, social participation, trust, and communication with family and friends.
