本文提供了一个重要的评估的各种方法，迄今为止，衡量不平等的健康。它表明，只有其中两个-不平等的斜率指数和集中指数-可能会提供一个准确的社会经济不平等的健康状况。本文还提出了几个实证例子来说明使用其他措施，如范围，洛伦兹曲线和相异性指数的危险。
This paper offers a critical appraisal of the various methods employed to date to measure inequalities in health. It suggests that only two of these—the slope index of inequality and the concentration index—are likely to present an accurate picture of socioeconomic inequalities in health. The paper also presents several empirical examples to illustrate of the dangers of using other measures such as the range, the Lorenz curve and the index of dissimilarity.
