Abstract
Description
Mientras aumenta el número y la proporción de adultos mayores como producto de la transición demográfica y epidemiológica, es cada vez más importante reconocer la heterogeneidad de este grupo. Los determinantes socioeconómicos de salud afectan a los adultos mayores de varias maneras, generando desigualdades socioeconómicas y de salud. Este estudio analiza el estado de salud, acceso a servicios, grupo de edad, sexo, raza/etnia y nivel educativo para comprender las desigualdades en salud en este grupo de población en Ecuador. Se concluye que las condiciones de salud y los factores socioeconómicos reflejan desigualdades entre los ecuatorianos mayores.
As the number and proportion of older adults increase as a result of the demographic and epidemiological transition, it is increasingly important to recognize the heterogeneity of this group. Socioeconomic health determinants affect different older adults in several ways, generating socioeconomic and health inequalities. This study analyzes the state of health, access to services, age group, sex, race/ethnicity and educational level in this population to understand health inequalities in Ecuador. We conclude that health conditions and socioeconomic factors reflect inequalities among older Ecuadorians.
