title: [Satisfaction with health status in the German Federal Republic and the former German Democratic Republic--a comparison].
abstract: The subjective feeling of the status of health by persons residing in the FRG and GDR is compared on the basis of data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), which were collected shortly before the merger of both states. The subjective state of health is on the whole approximately similar in both states. Differences in influencing factors are revealed by multivariate analysis.
