| مستخلص: | Introduction: Given the known female disadvantage in physical and mental health, this study aimed to investigate sex differences in self-rated health (SRH) among older adults, considering the longitudinal course by age, birth cohort, and educational level. Methods: Data from birth cohort 1911-1937 with baseline age 55-81 years (n = 3,107) and birth cohort 1938-1947 with baseline age 55-65 years (n = 1,002) from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA) were used. Mixed model analyses were used to examine sex differences in SRH (RAND General Health Perception Questionnaire [RAND-GHPQ], range 0-16) over the age course, testing for effect modification by the birth cohort and educational level (low, middle, high). Results: For both sexes, a decline in SRH was seen with increasing age. Over the age course, there was no significant sex difference in SRH within the older (1911-1937) birth cohort (0.13 lower score on SRH for women compared to men, 95% CI: -0.35 to 0.09) and only a small sex difference in the more recent (1938-1947) birth cohort (0.35 lower score on SRH for women compared to men [95% CI: -0.69 to -0.02], p = 0.04). There was no significant cohort difference in the size of the sex difference (p = 0.279). Those with a higher level of education reported a higher SRH, but between educational levels, there was no significant difference in the size of the sex difference in SRH. Discussion: In this study, no relevant sex difference in SRH over the age course was observed among older adults. Future research on SRH trajectories by sex during aging should take health-related, cognitive, psychosocial, and behavioral factors into account. (© 2024 The Author(s). Published by S.
