Type: article

Abstract: : This article is pioneering by using econometric models for analyzing the perceived \nhealth factors in Honduras. A simple random samples was taken from three regions of \nTegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and Santa Barbara, later, we estimated a probit model. \nWe conclude that there is proof of a relationship between socioeconomic factors and \nthe perceived health, where in a cluster of 14 explanatory variables, nine are \ndeterminant and five weren´t. There was a 38% probability for a positive perceived \nhealth for an individual, which diminishes by ages older than 35. Women tended to \nhave a better perception than men did.
