Associations of psychological, functional, and biological factors with age changes in the self- perceived health of old persons
The aim of research was to investigate the associations of psychological and biological factors with self-perceived health of old persons. Participants were 411 residents of 11 retirement homes in Zagreb, Croatia, 104 men, 307 women, aged 56-96 years (average 79) at baseline, mobile and not diagnosed with dementia. Variables measured, at baseline and at 2-years follow-up: sociodemographic, self-perceived health, functional ability, cognitive function, depression, social participation. Biochemical variables were measured from vein blood sample at baseline. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses explained 33%-38% of self-perceived health variance. Functional ability, depression symptoms, and age were significant predictors of self-perceived health in all analyses. Two biological cardiovascular risk factors variables - glucose and urea were significantly associated with self-perceived health.
