TY - JOUR AU - Politzer, Eran AU - Shmueli, Amir AU - Avni, Shlomit PY - 2019 DA - 2019/05/27 TI - The economic burden of health disparities related to socioeconomic status in Israel JO - Israel Journal of Health Policy Research SP - 46 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Low socioeconomic status (SES) is often associated with excess morbidity and premature mortality. Such health disparities claim a steep economic cost: Possibly-preventable poor health outcomes harm societal welfare, impair the domestic product, and increase health care expenditures. We estimate the economic costs of health inequalities associated with socioeconomic status in Israel.
