    or perhaps just the most optimistic, with "58.8 per cent giving themselves the highest possible ranking" for their level of health

    In other news, Aberdonians rate themselves as the "most spendthrift" in Scotland; Glaswegians the "most shy, retiring and a wee bit dour"; and Dundonians the "least sarcastic".

    48.2% - 58.8% between lowest and highest council areas, I wonder if that's a significant range in this context? And to compare that to other European areas? I couldn't find the source on the census website.

    I think it is rare to find someone in rude health who would state they were unhappy and unhealthy.

    So although the question was 'how healthy do you feel' it still has relevance.

    @Nelly, if you turn that question around it still makes sense. Unless folk are hypochondriacs, self-assessment of health might be a tad over-compensating, no?

    "least unhealthy" being mistakenly taken as meaning "most healthy"?
