Abstract:

In order to evaluate the negative self-perception of health among users of primary health care, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 1246 adults and elderly, men and women, of both sexes in Pelotas, RS. The prevalence of negative self-perception of health was reported by 41.6% of respondents. Women, those who were not working, who reported a diagnosis of three or more chronic non communicable diseases, who were food insecure and did not practice physical activity, reported a higher proportion of negative self-perception of health. Users with at least higher education level and those whose households had four or more residents, were less predisposed to outcome. The high prevalence of negative self-perception of health in this population, as well as the associations found, indicate the need for a better understanding of the influence of these factors on the demand for care and, consequently, on adherence to treatment.
