| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to examine socioeconomic inequalities in health and medicine. As a result of analyses of nationally representative surveys, people with lower income had the higher prevalence of physical and mental disorders. Lower income did not inhibit medical treatment for the older population but did for the younger population. Lower income was associated with higher cardiovascular risks and unfavorable nutrition intake, especially in women. From a community survey, lower socioeconomic conditions including recent individual and household income, subjective socioeconomic status and economic condition in childhood were associated with higher prevalence of poor self-rated health, physiological distress, depression treatment. In particular, objective socioeconomic status was associated with poorer health.
