我们研究了越来越多的研究调查受访者的全球健康自我评价作为死亡率的预测因素在纵向研究的代表性社区样本。美国和国际期刊上的27项研究显示了令人印象深刻的一致结果。在几乎所有的研究中，总体自测健康都是死亡率的独立预测因子，尽管纳入了许多特定的健康状况指标和其他已知可预测死亡率的相关协变量。我们总结和回顾这些研究，考虑各种解释，可以占协会，并提出了几种方法，在这一领域的下一阶段的研究。
We examine the growing number of studies of survey respondents' global self-ratings of health as predictors of mortality in longitudinal studies of representative community samples. Twenty-seven studies in U.S. and international journals show impressively consistent findings. Global self-rated health is an independent predictor of mortality in nearly all of the studies, despite the inclusion of numerous specific health status indicators and other relevant covariates known to predict mortality. We summarize and review these studies, consider various interpretations which could account for the association, and suggest several approaches to the next stage of research in this field.
