Using data from a specialized epidemiological survey of the Czech population (N = 1021), this
study adopted ordinary least squares regression to analyze the extent to which variance in
SRH is explained by biomedical measures, mental health, health behavior, and socioeconomic
characteristics. This analysis showed that SRH variance can be largely attributed to biomedical and psychological measures. Socioeconomic characteristics (i.e. marital status, education, economic activity, and household income) contributed to around 5% of the total variance.
