Abstract [en]

This article aims to determine the self-reported health status of Swedish high school students with respect to gender and immigrant background. The sample was randomly selected from high school students aged 15–19, and 446 students participated in this study. The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was used for capturing health status. The results showed that the most common problem was related to energy level (23%) and the least to physical mobility (1%). The proportion for other domains ranged from 2% to 14%. Self-reported health problems were more common among immigrants than native Swedes. Female students reported more problems on all aspects of health than males. Female gender and first-generation immigrants were found to be important factors associated with feelings of ill health among the target population. Gender disparity was more important among the students with an immigrant background.
