Global disparities in health form a complex issue adversely affecting much of the world's population. What has been found is that national income and other general socio-economic factors are strong determinants of population health (Houweling, 2005 & Schell, 2007). In countries where resources are less, people are much less healthy than people living in rich countries. In wealthier countries that have made immense progress in health indicators, the resulting change in age structure and morbidity and mortality patterns portends even greater financial demands on the health sector. This study noted the trends in several health indicators versus economic indicators and related it to low income, lower middle income, upper middle income and high income countries. We noted that there is improvement in all health indicators along with an increasing GNI per Capita and GDP. In low income regions though, the rate of improvement is slower as opposed to high income countries. However, there is progress, which is leading to an increase in aging population.
全球健康差距是一个复杂的问题，对世界上大部分人口产生了不利影响。研究发现，国民收入和其他一般社会经济因素是人口健康的重要决定因素（Houweling，2005年；Schell，2007年）。在资源较少的国家，人们的健康状况远不如生活在富裕国家的人。在健康指标取得巨大进步的较富裕国家，年龄结构以及发病率和死亡率模式的变化预示着对卫生部门的财政需求将更大。本研究关注了几个健康指标相对于经济指标的趋势，并将其与低收入、中低收入、中高收入和高收入国家联系起来。我们注意到，随着人均国民总收入和国内生产总值的增加，所有健康指标都有所改善。不过，在低收入地区，与高收入国家相比，改善速度较慢。然而，仍有进步，这导致了老龄人口的增加。
