Subjective health and illness, coping and life satisfaction in an 80-year-old Swedish population-implications for mortality.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Multimorbidity and illness will become more common due to increased life expectancy. PURPOSE:This study describes various combinations of diseases and symptoms and explores implications for mortality in a sample of 80-year-olds followed up to 95 years of age. Furthermore, reported subjective health, coping, and life satisfaction is explored. METHOD:212 persons, born in 1908, were classified into four groups based on their number of diseases and reported symptoms according to a health examination at the age of 80. These groups were compared regarding standardized measurements of subjective health, depression, coping, life satisfaction, and mortality. RESULTS:The mortality risks, the hazard ratios, were of the same magnitude, 1.8-2.2, whether the persons experienced several symptoms, had several diseases, or a combination of several symptoms and several diseases when compared to the healthy group of respondents. CONCLUSION:The experience of subjective signs of illness carries the same mortality risks as diseases.
