“…In sub-Saharan Africa, it has been established that age and sex play fundamental roles in SRH among urban dwellers whereas economic well-being was identified to be associated with SRH among rural dwellers [18]. Among older adult women in Senegal, hypertension, community membership and religion have been shown to be associated with SRH [19]. Interestingly, Marcia and colleagues in 2012 reported that, SRH was significantly correlated with felt age but not with ideal age and that, the more Senegalese older adults rated their health positively, the younger their felt age.…”

BackgroundFunctional difficulty assessment has been proven as a key factor in the health evaluation of adults. Previous studies have shown a reduction in health and functional difficulties with increasing age. This analysis was conducted to quantify the effect of poor self-rated health on functional difficulty among older adults in Ghana.MethodThis analysis was based on the World Health Organization Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health in Ghana for older adults 50 years and above. Fifteen standard functioning difficulty tools were extracted and used for the analysis. Three predictive models with the Coarsened Exact Matching method involving Negative Binomial, Logistics and Ordered logistic regression were performed using Stata 14.ResultsOverall, the prevalence of poor Self-rated health was 34.9% and that of functional difficulties among older adults in Ghana was 69.4%. Female sex, increasing age, being separated, having no religious affiliation, not currently working and being underweight were associated with and significantly influence poor Self-rated health [AOR(95%CI)p-value = 1.41(1.08–1.83)0.011, 3.85(2.62–5.64)0.000, 1.45(1.08–1.94)0.013, 2.62(1.68–4.07)0.000, 2.4(1.85–3.12)0.000 and 1.39(1.06–1.81)0.017 respectively]. In addition, poor Self-rated health and geographical location (rural vs. urban)significantly influence functioning difficulties among older adults in Ghana as predicted by the three models [Negative Binomial: PR(95%CI) = 1.62(1.43–1.82), Binary logistic: AOR(95%CI) = 3.67(2.79–4.81) and ordered logistic: AOR(95%CI) = 2.53(1.14–2.03)].ConclusionPoor SRH is more pronounced among older adult females in Ghana. Some determinants of poor SRH include; age, geographical location (urban vs. rural), marital status, religion, and employment status. This provides pointers to important socio-demographic determinants with implications on the social function of older adults in line with the theme of the national aging policy of 2010, ‘ageing with security and dignity’ and ultimately in the national quest to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

“…The rare surveys conducted in this area have mainly focused on the social determinants of health, concentrating more on economic conditions and health inequalities [ 16 – 21 ], and even on social capital [ 22 – 24 ], than on objective health conditions. Moreover, most of this pioneering research focused mainly on specific age groups—older people, in particular [ 18 , 20 , 25 – 29 ]–making population-based generalizations impossible. For example, in Dakar, SRH was the subject of a specific study on a sample of adults aged 50 coming to a health-care centre [ 25 ].…”

This research showed that 81% of women in the sample gave a negative evaluation of their health, and that declared hypertension and age were associated with self-rated health.…”

IntroductionAlthough the relationship between mortality and self-rated health has been demonstrated in sub-Saharan Africa, information in this area is rudimentary. In Senegal, no study has been undertaken comparing self-rated health between urban and rural areas. The objective of this study is therefore to compare self-rated health and its main predictors in Dakar and in a rural isolated area, Tessekere municipality, taking into account socio-demographic and economic factors, social relations, as well as measures of physical and mental health.Material and methodsThis study was carried out in 2015 on a population sample of 1000 individuals living in Dakar and 500 individuals living in the municipality of Tessekere, constructed using the quota method. Self-rated health, health variables, psychosocial, sociodemographic and economic characteristics were collected during face-to-face interviews. Statistical analyses used were Chi-square tests and binary logistic regressions.ResultsResults show that self-rated health in Senegalese urban area (Dakar) is better than in rural area (Tessekere), but the determinants of self-rated health partly differ between these two environments. Age and gender play a fundamental role in self-rated health as much in Dakar as in Tessekere but diabetes and social support play a role in self-rated health only in urban environment, whereas economic well-being is associated to self-rated health only in rural area.ConclusionThe analyses carried out in these two environments show that despite the existence of common determinants (age, gender, stress), the determinants for formulating an answer to the question of self-rated health differ. People’s social and cultural environments thus play a fundamental role in the process of rating one’s health and, in the short and long term, in the mortality rate.

L'auto-évaluation de la santé est une variable largement utilisée dans les recherches en santé, mais elle n'a donné lieu qu'à de rares études en Afrique Sub-saharienne, et aucune au Sénégal sur la population générale. L'objectif de cette étude était donc d'analyser les principaux déterminants de l'auto-évaluation de la santé à Dakar, en tenant compte des facteurs socio-démographiques et économiques, des relations sociales et l'état de santé physique et mentale des individus. Pour cela, un échantillon de 600 individus, représentatif de la population âgée de 20 ans et plus vivant dans le département de Dakar, a été constitué par la méthode des quotas croisés. Les résultats des analyses bivariées et multivariées ont montré que l'auto-évaluation de la santé est à la fois un bon indicateur de l'état de santé physique et mentale des Dakarois, et un outil utile pour évaluer les inégalités sociales face à la santé. Cependant, d'importantes différences entre hommes et femmes ont été observées lors d'analyses différentielles selon le genre. Ces résultats ont été discutés dans un cadre anthropo-biologique insistant sur la dimension culturelle de la santé subjective et dans une perspective comparative entre hommes et femmes.
