Key result
Compared with excellent self-rated health, poor self-rated health was significantly associated with a higher risk of incident ischemic heart disease (HR 1.76; 95% CI 1.68-1.85).
Why the study?
Does self-rated health status predict the risk of incident ischemic heart disease in Chinese adults?
Cohort (n=500,000)
Yes
Does self-rated health status predict the risk of incident ischemic heart disease in Chinese adults?
Hazard Ratio: 1.76 (95% CI 1.68–1.85)
Poor self-rated health is a strong, independent predictor of incident ischemic heart disease in Chinese adults, suggesting its utility as a simple risk assessment tool.
Patient-reported health status may serve as a simple, low-cost risk stratification tool for ischemic heart.

Dong et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Ischemic Heart Disease (n=500,000). Poor self-rated health vs. Excellent self-rated health was evaluated on Incident ischemic heart disease (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.68-1.85). Compared with excellent self-rated health, poor self-rated health was significantly associated with a higher risk of incident ischemic heart disease (HR 1.76; 95% CI 1.68-1.85).
