Epidemiology of self-rated health in rural China: a population-based cross-sectional study

Abstract Self-rated health (SRH) has been shown to be a good predictor of mortality. Data on SRH and its associated factors in the Chinese general population are limited. This study aims to assess the epidemiology of SRH in rural Anyang, China. SRH (categorized as “healthy”, “fair” or “unhealthy”) w...
