“…Self-rated health is an indicator of the quality of life that Is related to the self-perception of an individual's health status 1 , 2 . Self-perception Is a practical method for collecting information on individual health since it entails a single aspect: a subject’s perception of his or her health status 1 . This information is useful for planning, implementing, and monitoring health initiatives and programs as it has been found that self-rated health is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality 3 - 8 , a relationship that remains after adjusting for physical, sociodemographic, and behavioural factors 3 - 8 .…”

“…There are relatively few studies in Latin America using an approach that simultaneously considers how individual and contextual aspects contribute to self-rated health status 1 , 16 , 36 and even more scarce in Colombia, especially in Bogotá, which is considered one of Latin America’s largest metropolitan areas. Understanding these associations is relevant in the light of the current Colombian ten-year public health plan and the Sustainable Development Goals for a healthy life and well-being for all (SDG 3), and inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and human settlements (SDG 11).…”

Introduction: Self-rated health is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality. It is largely influenced by individual factors but also by individuals’ social surroundings and environment.Objective: To investigate individual, household, and locality factors associated with self-rated ealth in Colombian adults.Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional multilevel study using data from national databases on 19 urban localities and 37,352 individuals nested within 15,788 households using a population-based survey. Given the natural hierarchical structure of the data, the estimates of self-rated health related to individual, household, and locality characteristics were obtained by fitting a three-level logistic regression.Results: The adjusted multilevel logistic models showed that at individual level, higher odds of poor self-rated health were found among older adults, persons from low socio-economic status, those living without a partner, with no regular physical activity, and reporting morbidities. At the household level, poor self-rated health was associated with households of low socioeconomic status located near noise sources and factories and in polluted and insecure areas. At the locality level, only poverty was associated with poor self-rated health after adjusting for individual and household variables.Conclusions: These results highlight the need for a more integrated framework when designing and implementing strategies and programs that aim to improve health conditions in urban populations in Latin America.

“…Although PELFI is a longitudinal study, the current study of eye health has a transversal design, which limits the ability to establish a causal relationship between variables. The information about access to eye care specialists could be subject to recall bias, and the estimated self-perceived state of eye health could be inaccurate, given that it wasn’t measured objectively [10,39]. However, self-perceived health is used frequently in epidemiological studies because of its validity in predicting morbidity and mortality and its use in following population groups with specific health problems, in addition to the measurement of intervention effectiveness [40].…”

Latin American immigrants make up 49% of the total immigrant population in Spain, yet little is known about their eye health. The aim of this study is to determine if there are differences in self-perceived eye health, access to eye care specialists, and use of lenses between a sample of Latin American immigrant workers from Colombia and Ecuador, and native-born workers in Spain. We used data from the PELFI cohort (Project for Longitudinal Studies of Immigrant Families). The sample consisted of 179 immigrant workers born in Colombia or Ecuador, and 83 Spanish-born workers. The outcome variables were self-perceived eye health, access to eye specialists, and use of lenses. A descriptive analysis of the sample was carried out, and the prevalence of the three outcome variables in immigrants and natives was calculated and adjusted for explanatory variables. Random effects logistic regression models examined eye health outcomes by workers’ country of birth. Immigrants are less likely to report poor self-perceived eye health than native-born (ORc 0.46; CI 95%, 0.22–0.96). Furthermore, they have less access to specialists (ORc 2.61; CI 95%, 1.32–5.15) and a higher probability of needing lenses but not having them (ORc 14.14; CI 95%, 1.77–112.69). This latter variable remained statistically significant after adjusting for covariates (ORa 34.05; CI 95%, 1.59–729.04). Latin American immigrants may not value the use of lenses, despite eye care specialists indicating that they need them. Eye health education is required to recognize the importance of using lenses according to their visual needs.

“…Possíveis diferenças quanto a associação entre a idade e autoavaliação de saúde, em universitários, podem estar condicionadas ao perfil etário desse grupo, de predomínio de jovens. Assim possíveis tendências de maiores prevalências de autoavaliação negativa de saúde com o aumento da idade, conforme observado em pesquisas de base populacional não foram observadas 2,5,25 . Alguns estudos mostram a associação entre hábitos alimentares inadequados e a autoavaliação negativa de saúde 6,26 .…”

Introdução:A autoavaliação do estado de saúde tem sido utilizada em estudos epidemiológicos e representa uma medida de estimativa do nível de saúde. Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência e os fatores associados a autoavaliação negativa de saúde em universitários de um curso de Educação Física. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico transversal, realizado com universitários de um curso de Educação Física. A variável dependente foi a auto avaliação de saúde e as variáveis independentes foram sexo, faixa etária, situação conjugal, tempo na universidade, atividade física de lazer, ingestão de frutas/ sucos e verduras/saladas, consumo bebidas alcoólicas, índice de massa corporal, auto avaliação de tempo para relaxar e nível de estresse. Utilizou-se a estatística descritiva e as Razões de Prevalências (RP), estimadas pela regressão de Poisson, nas análises brutas e ajustadas, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 111 universitários, com média de idade de 24,7 anos. A prevalência de autoavaliação negativa de saúde foi de 10,1%. Foram associados com maiores prevalências de autoavaliação negativa de saúde os universitários que relataram o consumo irregular de verduras/saladas (RP=9,59; IC95%=1,64-55,96), que estavam com excesso de peso (RP=3,81; IC95%=1,03-14,12), com nível de estresse negativo (RP=8,34; IC95%=2,96-23,48), por outro lado, com menor RP os estudantes de maior faixa etária (RP=0,17; IC95%=0,03-0,82). Conclusão: A prevalência de autoavaliação negativa de saúde foi baixa e os fatores associados a esse desfecho relacionaram-se aos componentes relacionados a alimentação, ao estado nutricional e autoavaliação de estresse na vida.Palavras-chave: estudantes; educação física e treinamento; comportamentos relacionados com a saúde; estilo de vida. ABSTRACT Introduction:The self-rated health has been used in epidemiological studies and represents a measure that indicates the status health overall. Objective: To identify the prevalence and factors associated with negative self-rated health in university students of a Physical Education course. Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological study carried out with university students of a Physical Education course. The self-rated health was dependent variable and independent variables were gender, age range, marital status, college time, leisure-in-time physical activity, fruit/juice intake, vegetable/ salad intake, alcohol consumption, body mass index, selfevaluation of time to relax and stress level. The Prevalence Ratios (PR), estimated by Poisson regression, were used in the crude and adjusted analyzes, with a significance level of 5%. Results: Participated 111 university students, with a mean age of 24.7 years. The prevalence of negative self-rated health was 10.1%. The negative perception of health was associated with the students that reported the irregular consumption of vegetables/salads (PR=9.59; 95%CI=1.64-55.96), that were body mass excess (PR=3.81; 95%CI=1.03-14.12), with negative self-evaluation of stress (PR=8.34; 95%CI=2.96-23.48) and with l...
