Abstract

The term "HEALTH INEQUALITIES" is not a descriptive one: it refers to discrepancies in morbidity and mortality, life expectancy, disability life adjusted years, etc that are due to differences in such factors as socioeconomic status, gender and race/ethnicity. Socio-economic inequalities are the differences in health status (e.g. disease prevalence and incidence rates) across various socio-economic groups.In Europe, measuring socio-economic HEALTH INEQUALITIES has long been a major research topic. However, there have been relatively few experimental studies in Asia, especially in developing countries. In the social context, measurement of SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS is based on income, educational level and employment status. Stratifying the socio-economic groups based on a hierarchy identifies the pattern of morbidity and mortality in each socioeconomic stratum. It also shows the exact relationship between SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS and health.The main data sources for determination of population health status and measuring HEALTH INEQUALITIES are registries and cross-sectional surveys. It seems that monitoring, prevention and evaluation of HEALTH INEQUALITIES, especially with a focus on socio-economic level has been neglected in developing countries, including Iron. Due to the lock of formal registries on population health status in these countries, designing cross-sectional and population-based studies would be a useful approach in the prevention and monitoring of HEALTH INEQUALITIES.
