metadata.value: Empirical literature demonstrates the existence of age differences in self-assessed health (SAH),
  which are manifested in an increase in SAH for the elderly or as a slowdown in the decline in
  SAH and health-related quality of life indicators. The paper studies phenomenon of age differences
  in SAH through description, analysis and econometric modeling of the influence of psychological,
  socio-economic characteristics and health-related determinants of health on SAH
  and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for different ages. Based on RLMS survey, the average
  probabilities of SAH were studied in the generalized order probit model with random effects,
  considering an objective disease index as a proxy for true health. We observe increase in the average probability of choosing bad SAH category for men (90–94 years) and women (95–104
  years) and a simultaneous increase in the average probability of choosing good SAH. In old and
  old-old ages SAH is polarized: respondents tend to rate their health as either bad or good avoiding
  in their assessment an average category. The age differences in SAH indicates that individuals
  tend to adapt to lower objective true health, linking health in old and old-old ages not only with
  presence or absence of chronic illnesses, but also with psychological factors such as optimism and
  positive attitude towards life. This is important for understanding the concept of aging in health
  economics and for introducing HTA in health care. HTA uses indicators of self-assessed health
  and HRQoL when deciding on different ways of treatment. Due to the innovative approach, this
  study is of a great value to health economics research.
