Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the self-rated health and related factors in centenarians in Hainan province. Methods: A cross-sectional study in centenarians from 18 cities and counties was carried out in Hainan between June 2014 and December 2016. They data about their demographics, chronic diseases, ability of daily life, mental health and sleep quality were collected in a household interview. Self-rated health status was classified into 5 degrees according to the subjective assessment by centenarians. Results: Of 991 centenarians in this study, 157 (15.8%) were in good self-rated health and 228 (23.0%) were in poor self-rated health. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that chronic pain, visual impairment, depression, limited ability of daily life and poor sleep quality were the factors associated with poor self-rated health in centenarians in Hainan (P<0.05). Conclusion: The proportion of centenarians in good self-rated health was low in Hainan, the influencing factors included chronic pain, visual impairment, depression, poor sleep quality and limited ability of daily life.
