متن کاملTrends in the association between average income, poverty and income inequality and life expectancy in Spain.
In this paper, we study the relation between life expectancy and both average income and measures of income inequality in 1980 and 1990, using the 17 Spanish regions as units of analysis. Average income was measured as average total income per household. The indicators of income inequality used were three measures of relative poverty-the percentage of households with total income less than 25%,...

A framework is developed to analyse the impact of the distribution of income on individual health and health inequality, with individual health modelled as a function of income and the distribution of income.

Even if theoretical considerations suggest a non-linear relationship between th...
