摘要社会经济指数捕获有关财富、教育、就业和住房的信息，在公共卫生领域被广泛使用。在这里，我们比较了广泛使用的面积剥夺指数（ADI）和Yost指数。尽管它们的数据基本相同，但两者之间存在着实质性的差异。对两个指数最不相似的地理区域的检查表明，Yost指数具有更高的表面有效性，并且ADI对人口普查数据不完整和人口普查数据包含异常值的地点高度敏感。(C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
The Summary socioeconomic indexes that capture information about wealth, education, employment, and housing are in wide use in public health. Here we compare the widely used Area Deprivation Index (ADI) to the Yost index. Though they are derived largely from the same data, there are substantial differences between the two. Examination of the geographic areas where the two indexes are most dissimilar suggest that the Yost index has greater face validity and that the ADI is highly sensitive to locations with incomplete census data and with census data containing outliers.
