“…One of the most commonly used measures of perceived physical health status consists of a single Likert-type scale item, querying about respondents' overall health. Various studies have shown this measure to be one of the best predictors of health care utilization, costs and mortality (Davies and Ware, 1981;Mossey and Shapiro, 1982;Idler and Angel, 1990;Fylkesnes and Forde, 1991;Warren, 1994;Venus et al, 1999;Bierman et al, 1999). For example, a recent study linking the 1992 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey with the 1993 Medicare Continuous History Survey found that a person's response to the self-rated health question accurately predicted the use of health care services over the next year (Bierman et al, 1999).…”

“…elf-rated health is a commonly used measure that has been found to be one of the best predictors of health care utilization, cost and mortality. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Omnibus population-based studies have found that physical health status indicators, such as chronic health problems, are the strongest correlates of self-rated health. 2,7 Yet, adolescents do not rate their health much higher than older populations, even though they report far fewer physical health problems.…”

Objective:To examine what factors predict adolescents' concepts of their health. Methods:The study, based on the longitudinal National Population Health Survey, included 1,493 adolescents who were 12-19 at the time of interview. Sex, age, grade, family structure, income, disability, chronic health problems, social supports, social involvement, school/work involvement, smoking, alcohol bingeing, physical activities, Body Mass Index (BMI) and psychological health status variables were examined. Using ordinal multivariate regression, self-rated health was regressed on all predictors, which were entered in blocks hierarchically. Results:The analyses revealed that adolescent perceptions of health are framed not only by their physical health status, but also by personal, socio-environmental, behavioural and psychological factors. Specifically, health problems, disability, age, female status, lower income, smoking, and higher BMI were associated with lower self-rated health.Conclusions: This study suggests that adolescent appraisals of their health are shaped by their overall sense of functioning, which includes both physical health and non-physical health dimensions.La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.
