Self-rated health (SRH) is ubiquitous in population health research. It is one of the few consistent health measures in longitudinal studies. Yet, extant research offers little guidance on its longitudinal trajectory. The literature on SRH suggests several possibilities, including SRH as (1) a more fixed, longer-term view of past, present, and anticipated health; (2) a spontaneous assessment at the time of the survey; (3) a result of lagged effects from prior responses; (4) a function of life course processes; and (5) a combination of the preceding. Different perspectives suggest different longitudinal models, but evidence is lacking about which model best captures SRH trajectory. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we employ structural equation modeling to correct for measurement error and identify the best-fitting, theoretically guided models describing SRH trajectories. Results support a hybrid model that combines the lagged effect of SRH with the enduring perspectives, fitted with a type of autoregressive latent trajectory (ALT) model. This model structure consistently outperforms other commonly used models and underscores the importance of accounting for lagged effects combined with time-invariant effects in longitudinal studies of SRH. Interestingly, comparisons of this latent, time-invariant autoregressive model across gender and racial/ethnic groups suggest that there are differences in starting points but less variability in SRH trajectories from early life into adulthood.

主观健康的轨迹:测试从青春期到中年的自测健康的纵向模型。

自评健康(SRH)在人口健康研究中无处不在。这是纵向研究中为数不多的一致健康措施之一。然而,现有的研究对其纵向轨迹几乎没有提供指导。有关 SRH 的文献提出了几种可能性,包括将 SRH 视为 (1) 对过去、现在和预期健康的更固定、更长期的看法;(2) 调查时的自发评估;(3) 先前反应滞后效应的结果;(4) 生命历程过程的功能;(5) 前述的组合。不同的观点提出了不同的纵向模型,但缺乏关于哪种模型最能捕捉 SRH 轨迹的证据。使用来自全国青少年到成人健康纵向研究和全国青年纵向调查的数据,我们采用结构方程建模来校正测量误差并确定描述 SRH 轨迹的最佳拟合、理论指导模型。结果支持将 SRH 的滞后效应与持久观点相结合的混合模型,并配备一种自回归潜轨迹 (ALT) 模型。该模型结构始终优于其他常用模型,并强调了在 SRH 纵向研究中考虑滞后效应和时间不变效应的重要性。有趣的是,这种潜在的、时不变的自回归模型在性别和种族/民族群体之间的比较表明,从早年到成年的 SRH 轨迹存在起点差异,但变异性较小。描述 SRH 轨迹的理论指导模型。结果支持将 SRH 的滞后效应与持久观点相结合的混合模型,并配备一种自回归潜轨迹 (ALT) 模型。该模型结构始终优于其他常用模型,并强调了在 SRH 纵向研究中考虑滞后效应和时间不变效应的重要性。有趣的是,这种潜在的、时不变的自回归模型在性别和种族/民族群体之间的比较表明,从早年到成年的 SRH 轨迹存在起点差异,但变异性较小。描述 SRH 轨迹的理论指导模型。结果支持将 SRH 的滞后效应与持久观点相结合的混合模型,并配备一种自回归潜轨迹 (ALT) 模型。该模型结构始终优于其他常用模型,并强调了在 SRH 纵向研究中考虑滞后效应和时间不变效应的重要性。有趣的是,这种潜在的、时不变的自回归模型在性别和种族/民族群体之间的比较表明,从早年到成年的 SRH 轨迹存在起点差异,但变异性较小。拟合了一种自回归潜轨迹(ALT)模型。该模型结构始终优于其他常用模型,并强调了在 SRH 纵向研究中考虑滞后效应和时间不变效应的重要性。有趣的是,这种潜在的、时不变的自回归模型在性别和种族/民族群体之间的比较表明,从早年到成年的 SRH 轨迹存在起点差异,但变异性较小。拟合了一种自回归潜轨迹(ALT)模型。该模型结构始终优于其他常用模型,并强调了在 SRH 纵向研究中考虑滞后效应和时间不变效应的重要性。有趣的是,这种潜在的、时不变的自回归模型在性别和种族/民族群体之间的比较表明,从早年到成年的 SRH 轨迹存在起点差异,但变异性较小。
