The SRH has been considered a predictor of mortality above and beyond "objective" measures of health status, behaviours, and socioeconomic status [ 49].
After adjustment for socio-demographics and health risk behaviours, SMI status was associated with having one comorbid physical condition compared to none but not with multimorbid (2 or 3+) conditions.

Standardized self-report questionnaires were used to collect information on age, sex, ethnicity, age when completed full-time education, lifestyle behaviours (smoking status, alcohol consumption), and prescribed medication.
Factors related to work, health risk behaviours, social status as well as medical factors have also been found to act as barriers for RTW after episodes of poor mental health.
Cortical morphometry and fractional anisotropy (FA) derived from DTI were used with linear mixed effects models to link changes to behaviour status.
In this research we will study both health behaviour status and intention to change.
Univariate analysis individually explored associations between potential risk factors for dependence and aberrant behaviour status.
We propose a summary score of health behaviour status, with negative scores for negative health behaviours and positive scores for positive health behaviours, ranging from -8 to 6.
Baseline characteristics of ProAct65+ participants were compared with their sedentary behaviour status using chi-squared univariable analyses for dichotomised variables and logistic regression for continuous variables.
These steps include assessment of patients' health behaviour status and readiness to change, advice on behaviour change, agreement on a course of action, assistance with the changes in health behaviour, and arranging further help where needed [ 47].
