摘要: Based on data from five cross-sectional household surveys conducted during 1996-2007, this study provides initial results of an analysis self-perceived health in Belarus. The findings suggest that there has been a compression morbidity. Self-perceived improving steadily for both sexes and at all ages. Despite notable improvement, Belarus still remains far behind Western Europe terms healthy life expectancy. This disadvantage is mainly due to higher mortality among the working-age population, but older ages also plays important role. Education appears be most factor associated with self-rated health.
