abstract: 'This study examined relationships between socioeconomic disadvantage and
|
|
|
|
unmet health care needs among older adults in Korea adjusting for
|
|
|
|
predisposing and health need factors. We examined how older adults''
|
|
|
|
low-income status and working status affect unmet needs for healthcare
|
|
|
|
over time, and how the association varies by reason for unmet needs
|
|
|
|
(i.e. financial or non-financial).
|
|
|
|
We used three waves of data (2009, 2011, 2012) from the Korea Health
|
|
|
|
Panel (KHP) survey and a multinomial logistic mixed model to analyze how
|
|
|
|
low socioeconomic disadvantages affects changes in unmet healthcare
|
|
|
|
needs independently and in combination.
|
|
|
|
Results showed that near-poor elders were more likely to experience
|
|
|
|
increased risk of unmet need due to non-financial constraints over time.
|
|
|
|
When working, near-poor elders risk of unmet healthcare needs due to
|
|
|
|
financial and non-financial factors increases substantially over time.
|
|
|
|
Across societies, different subgroups of older adults may be at risk of
|
|
|
|
unmet healthcare needs, contingent on healthcare policies. Our finding
|
|
|
|
suggests that in Korea, near-poor working elders are the vulnerable
|
|
|
|
subgroup at highest risk of unmet healthcare needs. This finding
|
|
|
|
provides much-needed evidence of heterogeneity of vulnerability in unmet
|
|
|
|
healthcare needs and can be used to design more affordable and
|
|
|
|
accessible programs and services for this group. (C) 2016 Elsevier
