Self-rated health (SRH) in young people and causes of death and mortality in young adulthood. A prospective registry-based Norwegian HUNT-study.
TL;DR: Self-rated health predicts all-cause mortality in young adulthood, with poor SRH being associated with death inyoung adulthood, and the findings indicate different causes of death for different SRH.

Mortality prediction with a single general self-rated health question. A meta-analysis.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic review of the association between a single item assessing general self-rated health (GSRH) and mortality and found that persons with poor self-reported health had a 2-fold higher mortality risk compared with persons with "excellent" health status, even after adjustment for key covariates such as functional status, depression, and co-morbidity.

What is self-rated health and why does it predict mortality? Towards a unified conceptual model
TL;DR: A model describing the health assessment process is proposed to show how self-rated health can reflect the states of the human body and mind and the focus is on the social and biological pathways that mediate information from the human organism to individual consciousness.
