?:abstract
  • Although the relationship between individuals’ health and income inequality has been tested by many researchers, it is still a controversial issue. We advanced this research area by simultaneously assessing the effects of country-level income inequality and individual perceived income inequality on self-rated health (SRH). A series of mixed-effects models was conducted. All data at individual level were obtained from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), module on Social Networks (Version 2.0.0, 2019-8-19) which covered 44,492 individuals nested in 30 countries. There was a social gradient in SRH. We did not find a negative relationship between country-level inequality and SRH. The study results also did not support the threshold effects hypothesis which posits a threshold of income inequality over which the adverse effects on health increase. In contrast, people who perceived the society more unequal experienced poorer health. However, the effect size was small. People were more likely to report poor health when they perceived higher income inequality. In fact, this study showed that SRH was less affected by the distribution of income in that society. Instead, higher perceived inequality and lower socioeconomic position increased the odds for people to report poor health. Keywords: Income inequality; multilevel modeling; perceived inequality; self-rated health; social determinants of health; threshold effects. (xsd:string)
