Background: Health is a key component of an individual's welfare and the standard of living. Social capital has attained a considerable attention in science and policy making since researchers have suggested that it may have a positive impact on the well-being of individuals and the society.

The data used in this study obtained from a questionnaire with multi-stage random sample of respondents. The data were coded, computed, and analyzed by using SPSS software ۱۶ (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).Results: A total of ۲۵۵ respondents participated in the present study. Approximately ۱۲۶ (۴۹.۴%) were male. The results obtained on age also report that the average age of respondents were equal to ۳۰.۰۸. Additionally, ۱۲۶ (۴۹.۴%) of the respondents were married. The result of the correlation between self-rated health and socio-economic variables, such as income, education, and age confirmed that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between self-rated health and income (P< ۰.۰۰۱) and age (P=۰.۰۴۳). The statistical analysis of t-test showed that the respondents who were married (P=۰.۰۱) and male (P=۰.۰۱) showed to be healthier compared to the single and female participants.The results also showed that social trust and social participation were positively associated with desirable self- rated health. Moreover, higher levels of trust and social participation were both associated consistently with high levels of self-rated health. Social trust was also associated positively with desirable self-rated health, after adjusting for the individuals’ demographic factors and socioeconomic status (P=۰.۰۰۱).Conclusion: Income and social trust have the most significant influence on self-rated health. Social trust as an indicator of social capital had a significant impact on the self-rated health of respondents. Social trust increases social health and reduces stress and anxiety in individuals.
