“…The authors also showed that the odds of reporting poor health are similar for men and women after controlling for other health indicators, such as chronic conditions and indicators of functioning. After these controls were applied, the gender differences in reporting poor health not only disappeared in the majority of countries, but even reversed in some countries (Crimmins et al 2011;Dahlin and Härkönen 2013). These findings emphasize that the abovementioned unequal health profiles of men and women are influenced by their own perceptions, and thus call for additional explanations considering gender differences in health reporting.…”

“…"lthough several studies have found that women have poorer self-rated health than men [49,53,54], this is not the case in all countries [11,55,56]. Evidence of poorer self-rated health in women with respect to men has been found from adolescence [57] to old age [54], but gender diferences in self-rated health vary depending on other family, behavioral, and psychosocial variables such as empowerment, stress levels, physical activity, or social capital [49,57].…”
