A univariate analysis of the two dependent variables shows the respondents answers of both questions to be skewed towards good health. Interestingly, the respondents perception of their own health through amount of satisfaction tended to be higher. Table 2 shows a cross tabulation of the two variables. The bivariate analyses of the rest of the cross tabulations show moderate results for most of the variables. The strongest associations were education, age, work status, and income to both health and satisfaction of health.
Education proves to be the strongest association to health.
Work status also shows a positive linear pattern showing those who are employed full time to have the best health and satisfaction. Income shows a definite positive relationship in both dependent variables, but, more interestingly, it tops the others in strength in comparison of health satisfaction. Age, overall, shows a negative relationship pointing to better health and more satisfaction in the younger age groups. Again, this variable was added for comparison in the measures of association. The associations of the nominal variables to the dependent are listed below in Table 3.
