Gender and the natural history of self-related health: A 59-year longitudinal study

Article Abstract:

A study of 59-year longitudinal multilevel analysis data from 1,411 men and women, which showed that self-rated health was relatively stable until age 50 and then began to decrease in an accelerating fashion through the rest of the life course, is presented. The results show that men have higher self-rated health throughout most of adulthood than women but had steeper linear rates of decline due to which the gender differences in self-rated health disappeared by late adulthood.
