ABSTRACT
The study objective was to analyse the association between self-rated health and the incidence of fatal and non-fatal coronary heart disease in a Danish cohort followed up over 16 years. The study included 1052 men and women born in 1936. During the 16 years' follow-up 50 cases of coronary heart disease were registered either with the Danish register of deaths or the register of hospital admissions. Univariate analysis showed the following relative risks of coronary heart disease in the four self-rated health groups "extremely good" 1.0, "good" 4.0, "poor" 5.8, "miserable" 12.1 (p = 0.02). After control for the conventional coronary risk factors and a substantial number of other potential confounders the relative risks were 1.0, 4.2, 6.5, and 18.6 (p = 0.02) respectively. Self-rated health was an independent predictor of coronary heart disease in this recent cohort. If confirmed, the association between self-rated health and coronary heart disease may lead to new insights into psychosocial processes leading to this disease.
