Notes

  • poor health ratings in elderly correlate with an increased risk of cognitive impairment within 10 years
  • good health ratings have not been associated with a decreased risk of cognitive impairment[1]
  • self-rated health is the best predictor of functional decline[1]
  • poor health ratings along with smoking, one of 2 strongest predictors of 5-year all-cause mortality in men
  • self-rated health best predictor of mortality[1][4]
  • self-reported health is not a good indicator of "true" population health status
  • elderly > 85 years of age have greatest likelihood of reporting 'fair to poor' subjective health status[1]
  • 66% if older Hispanics report 'good to excellent' health vs 80% of non-Hispanic whites[1]
