The author critically examines an article by Christopher Murray and Lincoln Chen in which they develop a conceptual framework for understanding morbidity change. Two aspects of the framework are addressed: First the distinction Murray and Chen wish to make between self-perceived and observed morbidity cannot be sustained in practice. Second by concentrating on the distinction between self-perception and observation Murray and Chen fail to take into account the importance of the temporal aspect of sickness a feature absent from mortality. A reply by Murray and Chen is included (pp. 812-5). (EXCERPT)
