Income inequality, household income, and health status in Canada: a prospective cohort study.
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine whether income inequality, household income, and their interaction are associated with health status.
METHODS: Income inequality and area income measures were linked to data on household income and individual characteristics from the 1994 Canadian National Population Health Survey and to data on self-reported health status from the 1994, 1996, and 1998 survey waves.
