TABLE 3.

Covariate-Adjusted Relationship Between Self-Rated Health and Total and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Outcomes; n = 900^a

	HR^b	95% CI	p
1. Total mortality (n = 95 deaths)
Self-rated health (good)	1.4	0.70–2.6	.36
Self-rated health (fair)	1.4	0.65–2.8	.41
Self-rated health (poor)	3.1	1.4–6.6	.004
1. CVD deaths (n = 58 deaths)
Self-rated health (good)	1.6	0.60–4.0	.36
Self-rated health (fair)	1.8	0.70–4.8	.25
Self-rated health (poor)	2.9	0.99–8.6	.05

Covariates included age, education level (≤ high school versus > high school), ethnicity, CAD severity scores, diabetes status, hypertension status, dyslipidemia status, current smoking status, body mass index, and knowledge of angiogram results.

The combined excellent/very good self-rated health group served as the reference group for the analysis.

HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval; CVD = cardiovascular disease.
