Abstract

The prevalence of negative self-rated health and associated factors in adults are estimated. A survey was conducted with adults aged 18 to 59 years, from urban and rural areas in the municipality of Rio Branco AC Brazil, in 2014. The possible factors associated with self-evaluation were verified by multiple logistic regression. The prevalence of negative self-rated health was 12.1%, associated with age, stress (OR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.04-3.38), use of medicine (OR: 2, 23; 95% CI: 1.19-4.20) and self-reported insomnia (OR: 2.33; 95% CI: 1.20-4.53) or depression (OR: 2.03; 95% CI: 1.02-4.04). Low-density lipoprotein and the lower tercile of the physical and psychological domains of life quality were also associated. Results show that self-rated health reflected physical and psychological conditions and actually assessed the individual’s overall health status.
