- Abstract
Objective: To identify associated factors as indicators of health needs of adult men. Methods: Cross-sectional study, type of population-based household survey, conducted with 421 men aged between 20 and 59 years selected at random and systematic way. The research instrument was structured in a form based on the variables of study. For the analysis, we used multiple logistic regression models. Results: Unemployed men, aged between 30 and 39 years and with lower levels of education reported a greater proportion of self-perceived health as fair/poor, being economic class, an important variable, adjusted for the multiple model. Retired men or on sick leave, aged between 40 and 49 years old and white, had higher frequency of morbidity. Conclusion: The age group and occupational status were associated with self-perceived health and morbidity, the latter being also associated with skin color.
