Migration and Health: the relationship between self-assessment and diagnosed morbidity. The experience of Madrid
| Health studies consider health self-assessment as a solid measure of general health because it is considered a predictor of mortality. However, most of these studies have as a focus of analysis elderly people. This paper will try to approach this subject from a different perspective, health of young people, using the 2005 Madrid Health Survey (ESCM’5) to try to find a relationship between self-assessment and morbidity measures, taking into account new facts of the Spanish social and demographic reality, mainly the transformation in a host immigration country, therefore allowing comparative analyses between native and immigrant population.
