Comparison Between Computed SRH Change and Retrospectively Reported SRH Change (RR-SRH), Asset, and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old Survey, 1995–2006, Net of Proxies (N = 19,655)
| RR-SRH change | Computed SRH change | Die before next wave | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Improvement | Unchanged | Decline | Total | ||
| Improvement | 2.5% | 3.4% | 1.7% | 7.6% | 12.8% |
| Unchanged | 15.3% | 28.9% | 14.8% | 59.0% | 10.4% |
| Decline | 4.4% | 14.7% | 14.3% | 33.4% | 19.1% |
| Total | 22.2% | 47.0% | 30.8% | 100.0% | 13.5% |
| Die before next wave | 13.4% | 11.9% | 15.9% | 13.5% | |
Note. SRH = self-rated health.
