| Description: | The aim of the study has both practical and policy implications affecting health inequalities
amongst older persons in urban communities. The objectives are to assess the socioeconomic
and health status and characteristics associated with difference in health status in older age.
They explore the relative importance of factors in communities that may affect people’s
health as they age and in particular the consequences of structural dimensions of
neighbourhoods. While people are living longer the evidence indicates widening inequalities
in advanced societies. |
