Predictors of self-reported health among older African-American central city adults.
Relationships between holistic factors and self-reports of health were examined. Ninety-two African-American older adults were sampled. Comorbid health conditions, higher pain intensity ratings, and more depressive symptoms were significantly related to lower self-rated health scores while age, marital status, education, and spiritual factors were not significantly related.
