Using regression techniques this paper estimates the level of income related health inequality in GB in 1992 and 1998. Inequality is decomposed to investigate which socio-demographic factors are important contributors to health differences. The paper includes a range of measured and subjective income variables to control for absolute income. A relative deprivation measure is included to test the impact of income inequality on health inequality. It is found that subjective financial status is a major determinant of ill-health and makes a major contribution to income related inequalities in health. Relative deprivation is an important contributor for women but not for men.
本文运用回归技术估算了1992年和1998年英国与收入相关的健康不平等水平。对不平等进行分解，以调查哪些社会人口因素是导致健康差异的重要因素。本文纳入了一系列衡量收入和主观收入的变量，以控制绝对收入。纳入了一项相对剥夺衡量指标，以检验收入不平等对健康不平等的影响。研究发现，主观财务状况是健康不佳的主要决定因素，并且对与收入相关的健康不平等有重大影响。相对剥夺对女性是一个重要因素，但对男性并非如此。
