Socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the prime factors influencing the health status of a nation. It is the measure of the social standing of the individual or a family and has a wide impact on an individual/family's health, educational attainment, diet, lifestyle, etc., The per capita income of citizens is a major factor that decides the SES of the population. The affordability and utilization of the health facilities depend on the socioeconomic profile of the population. The periodic changes in the consumer price of goods globally as well as nationally due to inflation warrants that it is mandatory to constantly update the income-based socioeconomic scales so as the assessment is made correctly in practice. We are making an attempt to provide an updated Kuppuswamy and Udai Pareekh's socioeconomic scales for 2019.
社会经济地位（SES）是影响一个国家健康状况的主要因素之一。它是衡量个人或家庭社会地位的指标，对个人/家庭的健康、教育程度、饮食、生活方式等有广泛影响。公民的人均收入是决定人口社会经济地位的主要因素。卫生设施的可负担性和利用率取决于人口的社会经济状况。由于全球和国内通货膨胀导致商品消费价格的周期性变化，有必要不断更新基于收入的社会经济量表，以便在实践中进行正确评估。我们试图提供2019年更新后的库普苏瓦米和乌代·帕雷克社会经济量表。
