paper represents initial analyses of data on self-perceived health conditions
and satisfaction with personal health from a representative survey of citizens
in 130 countries. The analysis examines the effects of income and age on health
perceptions along with the combined effect of cultural norms and income. Three
important conclusions can be drawn. First, individual perceptions regarding
personal health status are remarkably consistent around the world. Second, the
incidence of satisfaction with personal health in the <st1:country-region
