Self-rated health in the last 12 years of life compared to matched surviving controls: the Health and Retirement Study.

Self-rated health in the last 12 years of life compared to matched surviving controls: the Health and Retirement Study.

Self-rated health (SRH) is a valid measure of health status and associated with mortality. Based on individual-level biannual repeat data on SRH we sought to characterize the natural history of poor SRH during the 12 years prior to death in men and women in different age groups. We conducted a retro...
