2012, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Previous research has found that single-item measures of self-rated health provide reliable, valid, and cost-effective measures of health (Cunny & Peri, 1991; Robins, Hendin, & Trzesniewski, 2001; Van de Water, Boshuizen, & Perenboom, 1996). Single-item, self-rated health assessments have also been consistently shown to predict mortality and functional decline (Grant, Zdzislaw, & Chappell, 1995; Idler, Shawna, & Leventhal, 1999; Wolinsky & Johnson, 1992). Nevertheless, one of the limitations of our study is the use of single items instead of a multidimensional measure of both health and social support.
