Abstract

Self-assessment of health is an important factor determining caring for health, expressed by health behaviours. Lifestyle and health behaviours play a key role in shaping health as well as the risk of many diseases and mortality. This article presents preliminary results of research on self-assessment of health and caring for health among men active on the labour market.
