OBJECTIVES: To develop cross-culturally applicable health indicators.
METHODS: An interview survey was conducted in 4 communities of Austria, Italy and Slovenia, targeting a total sample of 800 subjects aged 18 to 70 years. 19 health indicators were assessed: among them self-reported ill-health, health behaviour, personal and social resources. Descriptive statistics were used for the comparison of the communities and multiple logistic regression to analyse correlating factors to the self-reported state of health in the different communities.
RESULTS: The study results demonstrate that the distribution of health indicators varies greatly over the 4 communities. Furthermore the correlations of health behaviour and health resources with self-reported health status are not homogenous in the different communities; in some cases they are even inverse.
CONCLUSION: This study illustrates the need for the development of a sound theoretical background and for careful application of cross-cultural health indicators.
