Six measures of physiological dysregulation were derived from 11 clinically assessed biomarkers, and related to health outcomes and health behaviors for the Hawaii Personality and Health cohort (N = 470). Measures summing extreme scores at one tail of the biomarker distributions performed better than ones summing both tails, and continuous measures performed better than count scores. Health behaviors predicted men's dysregulation but not women's. Dysregulation and health behaviors predicted self-rated health for both men and women, and depressive symptoms predicted self-rated health only for women. These findings provide preliminary guidelines for constructing valid summary measures of global health status for use in health psychology.
从11种临床评估的生物标志物中得出了六种生理失调指标，并将其与夏威夷性格与健康队列研究（N = 470）中的健康结果和健康行为相关联。对生物标志物分布一端的极端分数进行求和的指标，比两端分数求和的指标表现更好，连续指标比计数分数表现更好。健康行为可预测男性的失调情况，但不能预测女性的。失调和健康行为可预测男性和女性的自评健康状况，而抑郁症状仅能预测女性的自评健康状况。这些发现为构建用于健康心理学的有效全球健康状况综合指标提供了初步指导方针。
