Abstract (English): Introduction: The concept of self-rated health (SRH) was conceived during the first half of the twentieth century. Since then, numerous studies have documented the validity of its measurement and it has been widely accepted as a reliable measurement of overall health. SRH is considered a subjective measurement integrating the biological, mental, social, and functional aspects of an individual. Objective: To review the literature to determine theoretical determinants, related outcomes, and utility of SRH in elderly adults (EAs). Methods: The databases reviewed were Medline, SciELO, EMBASE, Science Direct, Proquest, and Ovid, along with information available in websites from international health agencies. Results: SRH is considered a sensitive measurement of overall health in EAs. It is influenced by physical function, the presence of disease, the existence of disabilities, functional limitations, and by the rate of aging. Many studies suggest it may be modified by demographics, as well as by social and mental factors. Thus, the perception of health is the result of multiple and complex interactions of variables determining it at any given time. SRH is based on systems theory and the bio-psychosocial health model. It has proven to be a significant independent predictor for development of morbidity, mortality, and disability in basic physical and instrumental daily life activities among elderly adults. Conclusion: In addition to reflecting the overall health status of EAs, SRH can provide information to aid health personnel and decision makers in the development and implementation of health promotion and disease prevention programs, as well as the adequacy and planning of different levels of care for this population.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: El concepto de auto-percepción de salud (APES) fue introducido a mitad del siglo XX. Desde entonces, numerosos estudios han documentado la validez de su medición y ha sido ampliamente aceptado como una medida confiable del estado de salud general. La APES se considera una medición subjetiva que integra factores biológicos, mentales, sociales y funcionales del individuo. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión de la literatura para determinar fundamentos teóricos, factores determinantes, desenlaces relacionados y utilidad de la APES en adultos mayores (AM). Metodología: Se utilizaron las bases de datos Medline, SciELO, EMBASE, Science Direct, Proquest, Ovid, así como la información disponible en sitios web de organismos sanitarios internacionales. Resultados: La APES se considera una medida sensible del estado general de salud en los AM. Está influida por la función física, la presencia de enfermedades, la existencia de discapacidades, de limitaciones funcionales y por el tipo de envejecimiento. Muchas investigaciones sugieren que la pueden modificar variables demográficas, sociales y mentales. De esta manera, la APES es la resultante de múltiples y complejas interacciones de variables que la determinan en un momento dado. La APES se fundamenta en la teoría de sistemas y en el modelo bio-psicosocial de salud. Se ha demostrado que se comporta como un predictor independiente y significativo para desarrollar morbilidad, mortalidad y discapacidad, tanto en las actividades básicas cotidianas como en los aspectos físico e instrumental en adultos mayores. Conclusión: La APES además de reflejar el estado de salud global del AM, puede brindar información que ayude al personal de salud y a tomadores de decisiones en el desarrollo e implementación de programas de promoción de la salud y prevención de la enfermedad, así como en la adecuación y planificación de diferentes niveles asistenciales para este grupo poblacional.
