AIMS
The aims of this study were to: (1) examine the concurrent validity of self-rated health for mental and physical health in Europe; and (2) evaluate whether self-rated health predicts health problems differentially by gender.
METHODS
Data are from 19 European countries surveyed in the 2014 European Social Survey. We applied ordinary least squares regression to examine the association between self-rated health and summary indicators of physical and mental health problems.
RESULTS
We observed an association between self-rated health and both physical and mental health problems in all countries. Gender differences in the concurrent validity of self-rated health were documented in eleven out of 19 countries.
CONCLUSIONS
Self-rated health is a valid and efficient measure of physical and mental health across the European continent, with significantly greater concurrent validity among women.
目的
本研究的目的是：（1）检验欧洲自我评估健康对心理和身体健康的同时效度；（2）评估自我评估健康是否按性别差异预测健康问题。
方法
数据来自2014年欧洲社会调查中接受调查的19个欧洲国家。我们应用普通最小二乘法回归来检验自我评估健康与身心健康问题汇总指标之间的关联。
结果
我们在所有国家都观察到自我评估健康与身心健康问题之间存在关联。在19个国家中的11个国家记录了自我评估健康同时效度的性别差异。
结论
自我评估健康是整个欧洲大陆身心健康的有效且高效的衡量指标，在女性中的同时效度显著更高。
