Abstract
Self-rated health is a fundamental measure of health status and health outcomes, and is believed to principally reflect physical health problems (acute and chronic conditions and physical functioning) and, to a lesser extent, health behaviours and mental health problems. Longitudinal studies have shown that self-rated health is a strong and independent predictor of subsequent illness and premature death.https://doi.org/10.1071/NB04S50
