Self-rated general health among 40-year-old Danes and its association with all-cause mortality at 10-, 20-, and 29 years' follow-up

Abstract

The association between poor SRH and mortality emphasizes the importance of health personnel taking account of people's health rating, particularly when a recent assessment has been made. SRH is related to death, even when controlling for known covariates, but it is not a long-term effect.
