“…Our main finding, that the perception of health in general over time is a risk factor for cancer later in life, is in line with the findings of a similar prospective cohort study of 25 532 participants [8]. In contrast to that large cohort study, we did not find an increased risk for lung cancer among people with poor SRH.…”

“…In contrast to that large cohort study, we did not find an increased risk for lung cancer among people with poor SRH. This discrepancy might be because of a heterogenic and older study population in the cohort study by Riise et al [8] and the selected, younger, and more homogenous study population in this study. Our results are supported by the findings of three prospective cohort studies of the association between SRH and the incidence of chronic diseases including cancer [10,11], although these studies had medium to small samples (N ¼ 4493, 4770, 783, respectively) and few cancer cases (N ¼ 102, 544, 60, respectively), making site-specific cancer risk analysis difficult.…”

“…A Norwegian cohort study (2013) comprised 25 532 participants and 10 years of follow-up, but no data were reported on participants aged 48-69 years or on marital status, which is an important factor in the development of cancer [8]. In a Dutch study (1993) of 783 men, only 60 cases of cancer were diagnosed during follow-up, which limits the weight of the evidence from this study.…”

Self-rated health and cancer risk – a prospective cohort study among Danish women

Background: Self-rated health (SRH) has been shown to be a strong predictor of mortality from a number of major chronic diseases, however, the association with cancer remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between change in SRH and cancer incidence. Materials and methods: SRH and information on lifestyle and other risk factors were obtained for 13-636 women in the Danish Nurse Cohort. Cancers that developed during 12 years of follow-up were identified in the National Patient Registry. An association between SRH and cancer was examined in a Cox proportional hazards model with adjustment for age, smoking, alcohol, marital status, physical activity, body mass index and estrogen replacement therapy. Results: No significant association was found between SRH and overall cancer incidence in the ageadjusted Cox proportional hazards model (1.04; 95% CI 0.93-1.16), even after adjustment for potential confounding factors (HR 1.08; 95% CI 0.96-1.21). Likewise, there was no significant association between SRH and breast cancer (HR 1.09; 95% CI 0.89-1.33), lung cancer (HR 1.03; 95% CI 0.71-1.49) or colon cancer (HR 1.08; 95% CI 0.75-1.54). Conclusion: SRH is not significantly associated with the incidence of all cancers or breast, lung or colon cancer among Danish female nurses. Women who reported a decrease in SRH between 1993 and 1999 had the same risk for cancer as those who reported unchanged or improved SRH.

“…It is a common indicator of health status, and despite the lack of a direct clinical evidence, it correlates with more complex health measures (24). Self-reporting has been employed as a morbidity (25,26) and mortality (27,) predictor. In this regard, the present study showed that health perception behaves as a risk indicator for experience and dental caries prevalence.…”

Objective:To determine the factors associated with the prevalence of dental caries and decayed, missing, and filled teeth index (DMFT) in adolescents and young adults using logistic and negative binomial regression. Methods:A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted on a sample of 638 subjects 16-25 years of age in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Binary logistic regression was used to generate a model of the prevalence of caries and negative binomial regression was used to model the caries experience (DMFT index). Clinical examination was carried out by dentists trained in the criteria of caries (WHO). The independent variables were collected using questionnaires. Analyses were performed in Stata. Results:In multivariate models, it was observed that lower maternal education (OR = 1.95), dental health services utilization (DHSU) (OR = 2.25) and reporting "good" oral health (OR = 0.34) were associated (p <0.05) with the prevalence of caries (DMFT> 0). For those who experience caries (DMFT), female gender, lower maternal education and DHSU increased the expected mean of DMFT by 26%, 22.4% and 36.7%, respectively. In addition, self-reported "regular" and "good" oral health declined 30.0% and 47.0%, the expected average DMFT. Conclusions:The variables associated with the prevalence of caries (DMFT> 0) and the DMFT were the same in the models used, except for sex. The mother's schooling proved the existence of certain socioeconomic inequalities in oral health.

“…This study found that SRH did not independently predict the incidence of cancer or other chronic diseases [17]. Although one large Norwegian study of 25,532 participants found an increased risk of lung cancer among individuals with poor SRH [18], the general impression from prospective studies does not seem to suggest that SRH plays an independent role in overall cancer causation. Regarding the role of QOL as a potential predictor of the risk of cancer, the issue is much less studied.…”
