abstract: 'Objective : To examine income-related inequalities in health in working
age men and women in Australia and New Zealand. Methods : We used data
from two longitudinal surveys, Wave 8 (2008) of the Household Income and
Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey and Wave 7 (2008/2009) of
the New Zealand Survey of Family Income and Employment (SoFIE). We
compared concentration indices (a measure of income-related health
inequality) that examined the distribution of general and mental
health-related quality of life scores (from the SF-36) across income in
working age (20-65 year old) men and women. Decomposition analyses of
the concentration indices were done to identify the relative
contribution of various determinants to the income-related health
inequality. Results : General health (GH) scores generally decline with
age, and mental health (MH) scores increase with age, in both surveys.
Income-related health inequalities were present in both the HILDA and
SoFIE samples, with better health in high income groups. Decomposition
analyses found that income, area deprivation and being inactive in the
labour force were major contributors to income-related health
inequality, in both surveys, and for both health outcomes. Conclusions
and implications : Despite some baseline differences in income-related
health inequalities using Australian and New Zealand surveys, we found
similar modifiable determinants, which could be targeted to improve
health inequalities in both countries.'
