Abstract

The results suggest generally higher levels of ill health for individuals who are older, not married, in a semi/unskilled manual social class, and socioeconomically deprived (as measured by a composite deprivation score). All individuals living in areas with high levels of illness (which tend to be more deprived areas) show greater morbidity, even after allowing for their individual characteristics. However, within affluent areas, where morbidity was generally lower, the health inequality (health gradient) between rich and poor individuals was particularly strong. We consider the implications of these findings for health and resource allocation policy.
