Which Socio-Demographic Indicators Influence the Health Rating? Example of EHIS on Czech Data
摘要
In most developed countries of the world, the population lives at an older age. With increasing age, there is a greater probability of a certain health restriction, and the proportion and number of people with health restrictions, and disabilities increases. At the level of society, disability increases the demand for formal and informal care. The health prevalence model is designed on individual anonymized data from the European health interview survey (EHIS) in 2008, 2014, and 2019 and enters selected socio-demographic indicators for the Czech Republic. The paper is examined and described mutual relations among the indicators of the Minimum European health module (MEHM): self-perceived health, chronic / long-term morbidity, and activity limitations (Global Activity Limiting Indicator). Within binary logistic regression, the influence of gender, age groups, marital status, education, presence of long-term illness, and long-term limitation of activities on self-rated health has been examined. A statistically significant influence on self-rated health has been demonstrated in age groups, education, long-term illnesses, and long-term limitation of activities. As part of the sensitivity analysis, the assignment of the middle category (fair) of self-rated health is chosen for poor assessment of your health (bad, very bad).
