People are usually well informed about their health status, the positive and negative effects of their behaviour on their health and their use of health care services. Yet their perceptions of their health can differ from what administrative and examination-based data show about levels of illness within populations. Thus, survey results based on self-reporting at the household level complement other data on health status and the use of services. Only one third of adults rated their health as good or very good in Portugal (Kasmel et al., 2004). This is the lowest of the Eur-A countries reporting and reflects the relatively adverse situation of the country in terms of mortality and selected morbidity.
What number of Portuguese adults rated their health as good or very good? (If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable")
one third
Människor är vanligtvis väl informerade om sin hälsostatus, de positiva och negativa effekterna av sitt beteende på sin hälsa och deras användning av hälso- och sjukvårdstjänster. Ändå kan deras uppfattning om sin hälsa skilja sig från vad administrativa och undersökningsbaserade data visar på om nivåer av sjukdom inom populationer. Undersökningsresultat som bygger på självrapportering på hushållsnivå kompletterar således andra uppgifter om hälsostatus och användning av tjänster. Endast en tredjedel av de vuxna bedömde sin hälsa som god eller mycket god i Portugal (Kasmel m.fl., 2004). Detta är det lägsta av Eur-A-länderna som rapporterar och återspeglar landets relativt ogynnsamma situation när det gäller dödlighet och vald sjuklighet. Hur många portugisiska vuxna bedömde sin hälsa som god eller mycket god? (Om frågan är obesvarad, säg "osvarbar")
