摘要：This paper explores association between health and attitude towards own health in two dimensions – taking care of own health and lifestyle.We apply two-dimensional stereotype logit model to estimate association between self-assessed health and attitude towards health,after accounting for socioeconomic factors.We find evidence of strong positive association between health status and (perceived) taking care of own health and lifestyle.Analysis of perception of the two concepts – "taking care of own health" and "healthy lifestyle" – provides insights into possible reasons of not very good indicators of health behaviour among Latvian population.
