Abstract

Self-perceived health is considered an important indicator of health conditions because it is based on subjective and objective criteria and because of its predictive capacity for morbidity and mortality, therefore, it is used as a guiding instrument for health promotion actions. The objective of this study was estimate the prevalence of negative self-rated health and its association with sociodemographic, health and behavioral factors in users of Primary Health Care. Cross-sectional study carried out in Passo Fundo, RS, between May and August 2019, with adults and elderly people cared for at the Primary Health Care. The prevalence of the outcome was calculated, with a 95% confidence interval (CI95) and the crude and adjusted Prevalence Ratios (PR) in order to identify the associated factors. The sample consisted of 1,443 participants, with an outcome prevalence of 47% (CI95 44-49), which was higher among women, elderly, multimorbidity patients, with chronic pain, polymedicated, with insomnia, undergoing psychological treatment and with self-perception negative food. On the other hand, users with at least higher education, whites, non-smokers and those with inadequate eating habits were less predisposed to the outcome. It is concluded that the prevalence of negative self-perception of health and associated factors reinforce the need for attention by health professionals to promote specific and effective interventions in this population.
