Abstract：
:The purpose of this study was to describe the perceived health of the homeless, and to measure the effect of time homeless on perceived health status, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and health conditions. The design was cross-sectional; the population was a representative sample of homeless in San Francisco, interviewed on health issues. Analysis of predictors of poor or fair health status was by logistic regression. In this sample of 2780 persons, 37.4% reported that their health status was poor or fair as compared to good or excellent. Reporting poor or fair health status was significantly associated with time homeless, after controlling for sociodemographic variables and health problems including results from screening for HIV and TB (OR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.24-1.79). Comparisons with data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) showed poorer health status among the homeless persons in this study. Standardized morbidity ratios were highest for asthma; there was twice the number of homeless persons reporting asthma, in younger as well as older adults, as would be expected using NHIS rates. There was also an excess of arthritis, high blood pressure and diabetes in those age 18-44 as compared to adults in the Health Interview Survey. The time spent homeless remains associated with self-reported health status, after known contributors to poor health are controlled. Persons who have been homeless for longer periods of time may be the persons to whom health care interventions should be aimed.
