Two thirds of both men and women declared themselves healthy at age 70, 2/3-3/4 at age 75 and 3/4 at age 79. Subjective health correlated significantly with the results of an extensive clinical examination for men at age 75 and for women at ages 75 and 79. In both sexes the correlation coefficients between the number of definable diseases and subjective health scoring was statistically significant as well as between mortality and subjective health. Some correlations were also found between subjective health and certain parameters of organ system functions. Contrary to objective findings, the proportion of those who declared themselves healthy was not decreasing by increasing age, and sex difference in consumption of care was not reflected in any sex difference in subjective health. The correlation between subjective health and number of disorders illustrates that the subjective health answers were influenced by knowledge obtained at previous clinical examinations and from drug prescriptions. Many elderly with functional disorders and drug treatment reported, however, that they were well. Subjective evaluation of health seemed to be markedly influenced by their willingness to accept impairment, disability and handicaps as being normal for their age.</p>","PeriodicalId":77698,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive gerontology.

Eighty-one per cent claimed that they visited a dentist regularly and about 80% actually did so during the observation period. A majority of these were included in a recall system. Almost 1/3 experienced oral dryness, occasionally or constantly. Oral dryness was combined with a somewhat higher frequency of decayed surfaces.

The women represented about 40 different occupations, mostly within the sectors of health care, social services and administration. The study comprised four main parts, namely health and discomfort, social psychology, dietary habits and body composition, and oral health. The present paper concerns a general presentation of the study including sampling procedures and analyses of non-response. The response rate was a little more than 70%. Only a few significant differences were observed between non-responders and responders, such as more working hours per week, and more frequently a negative attitude towards retirement in the non-responders after retirement. This longitudinal prospective study of the same cohort of women has so far shown that the general design, sampling procedure and general methods of data collection appear adequate and feasible. In general, the study population was representative of women about to retire from municipal employment in Sweden. Results from the different studies will be presented elsewhere.
