Do Minimum Wage Increases Influence Worker Health? (2017, positive): “Jylhä, M. (2009). "What is self-rated health and why does it predict mortality? Towards a unified conceptual model.”
Religion, Self-Rated Health, and Mortality (2015, background): “However, as self-rated health typically converges with more objective measures of morbidity (Chandola & Jenkinson, 2000; Jylhä, 2009) and Study 2 complements the analyses of self-rated health with mortality data, self-report bias is rather unlikely to account for the person–culture fit effect…”
Religion, Spirituality, and Health: The Research and Clinical Implications (2012, background): “While based on participants’ subjective impression, selfrated health is strongly related to objective health, that is, future health, health services use, and mortality [505–507].”
Pathways between socioeconomic status and health: Does health selection or social causation dominate in Europe? (2018, background): “It measures the absence of disease and is a comprehensive measure of impairment, disease, and distress (Jylhä, 2009).”
Associations among relational values, support, health, and well‐being across the adult lifespan (2017, background): “The use of a subjective health measure is particularly problematic as it has been shown to be biased by psychological processes and assesses things beyond objective health status (Jylhä, 2009; Wu et al., 2013).”

Hearing Gender: Voice-Based Gender Classification Processes and Transgender Health Inequality (2019, methodology): “I use self-rated health as the main outcome, rather than more specific health-related outcomes, because it serves as a reliable predictor of mortality (Idler and Benyamini 1997; Jylhä 2009) and is useful in identifying the overall burden of minority stress processes.”
Disability as Inequality: Social Disparities, Health Disparities, and Participation in Daily Activities (2018, background): “Questions remain about what is measured (Huisman and Deeg 2010; Jylhä 2009), with evidence that individuals from different population groups evaluate their health differently (Dowd and Zajacova 2007; Zajacova and Dowd 2011).”
