Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the association between self-rated mental health (SRMH) and current health status of an Iranian population. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 3400 individuals selected through random sampling in Shiraz, Iran between January 2014 and March 2015. Data were gathered through face-to-face interviews. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 19.0, and R.3.1.2 software was used for SCAD penalized logistic regression. The mean age of the participants was 38.5 (± 14.1 years). There were significant relationships between better SRMH and younger ages (p < 0.001), and between better SRMH and better self-rated physical health (p < 0.001). Individuals with poor SRMH were more likely to have signs and symptoms of medical diseases. SRMH, a component of self-rated health, was related to a variety of health problems in our study population. Therefore, paying attention to SRMH and mental well-being could be useful in making decision about implementation of preventive measures.
