Decomposition of health inequality by determinants and dimensions
研究整合两种方法,将总体健康中的收入相关不平等分解为社会人口特征对各健康维度的贡献,发现不同维度的贡献差异显著,为政策制定者指明应针对哪些人群和健康方面来减少不平等。
The study integrates two methodologies so that income-related inequality in general health can be decomposed into contributions from socio-demographic characteristics to each of the dimensions defining general health. It is found that these relative contributions vary substantially across dimensions. For policy purposes such information is valuable as it indicates at which population groups and at which aspects of health efforts to reduce inequalities in health should be targeted.
