There is a need for an instrument to record a life-course perspective of self-rated health.
To test the "health-line", a simple, comprehensive method of collecting data on self-rated health over time.
In 1996, a questionnaire was mailed to people who in 1985 were aged between 25 and 34 years old and had a sick-leave spell >28 days with "back diagnoses". They were asked to rate their global health graphically with a "health-line" for the years 1985-95. Official data on sick leave and disability pension were obtained for the same period. In all, 37 out of 52 men and 60 out of 83 women answered; that is, they drew a health-line.
A statistically significant negative correlation between the mean number of absence days due to ill health and the health-line data was found for every year (r= -0.35 to -0.53; p<0.001) and for the whole period 1985-95 (r=-0.546; p<0.001) respectively.
The method worked well and is well worth further development and testing.
需要一种工具来记录自评健康状况的生命历程视角。
测试“健康线”，这是一种收集随时间变化的自评健康数据的简单、全面的方法。
1996年，向1985年年龄在25至34岁之间、因“背部疾病诊断”而病假超过28天的人邮寄了一份问卷。要求他们用“健康线”对1985 - 95年的整体健康状况进行图形化评分。获取了同期病假和残疾抚恤金的官方数据。总共有52名男性中的37名和83名女性中的60名进行了回复；也就是说，他们绘制了健康线。
发现每年因病缺勤天数的平均数与健康线数据之间存在统计学上显著的负相关（r = -0.35至-0.53；p < 0.001），1985 - 95年整个期间的相关系数为r = -0.546；p < 0.001。
该方法效果良好，非常值得进一步开发和测试。
