The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences - 1 May 2001

Svedberg P, Lichtenstein P, Pedersen N L

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Self-rated health has been shown to be a predictor for future health status and mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate age-group and sex differences in genetic and environmental sources of variation for self-rated health.
