Abstract:
:Self-rated health is a strong predictor of mortality, morbidity, future functional capacity and the quality of life. Measures of self-rated health have been collected fairly regularly since the 1980s, but few of them focus on self-rated health among the elderly war veterans. The aim of this study was to examine changes in self-rated health among Finnish war veterans from 1992 to 2004 and to analyze the independent determinants associated with changes in veterans' self-rated health. The study population was 4999 veterans living in Finland, who participated in data collection of both the Veteran Project 1992 and 2004. Logistic regression models were used to identify independent predictors for changes in self-rated health. Analyses were conducted separately for men with and without disability and for women. During the follow-up, self-rated health improved or remained unchanged among 88.8% of the men without disability, 90.5% of the men with disability and 87.9% of the women. Determinants for declined self-rated health were a new cardiovascular disease (CVD) among all veteran groups, increased walking difficulties among men without disability and women, a new neurological disease and institutionalization among men without disability, and a new musculoskeletal disease among men with disability. In conclusion, the majority of veterans rated their health improved or unchanged during the follow-up. The importance of mobility impairments and cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and neurological diseases as the predictors of declined self-rated health were confirmed.
