Subjective appraisals of socio-economic status (SES) are robustly associated with health outcomes, even when controlling for objective SES. Is this because objective SES is not accounted for in a sufficiently exhaustive way? I pool eight waves of nationally representative survey data from Germany (German General Social Survey, 2004-18, =13,557) to assess the association between two separate subjective appraisals of SES (a 10-point scale and subjectively chosen social class membership) and poor self-rated health using logit and linear probability models. I account for an exhaustive range of objective SES variables, including respondents' household incomes and social status, as well as occupational status, social class and education of respondents and of their partners, fathers and mothers. The association between subjective SES and poor self-rated health remains stable, even when accounting for a wide range of objective SES markers. This is true for both subjective SES measured on a 10-point scale and as a subjective class identification.
主观社会经济地位（SES）评估与健康结果密切相关，即使在控制客观 SES 时也是如此。这是因为客观 SES 没有被充分详尽地考虑到吗？我汇总了来自德国的八轮全国代表性调查数据（德国综合社会调查，2004-2018 年，n=13557），使用逻辑回归和线性概率模型评估了两种不同的 SES 主观评估（10 分制和主观选择的社会阶层成员身份）与自评健康不良之间的关联。我考虑了详尽的客观 SES 变量，包括受访者的家庭收入和社会地位，以及受访者及其伴侣、父亲和母亲的职业地位、社会阶层和教育程度。即使考虑到广泛的客观 SES 指标，主观 SES 与自评健康不良之间的关联仍然稳定。这对于 10 分制的主观 SES 测量和主观阶级认同都是如此。
