With the exception of the study by Pamuk,23 all studies contributed a minimum of 11 inequality measures (five absolute and six relative measures). Studies that reported results stratified by age, country, time periods, or alternate measures of socioeconomic status contributed more than one series of the 11 inequality measures. PAR, population attributable risk; RD/RR, risk difference, risk ratio; slope, slope index of inequality; ID, index of dissimilarity; CIg, CI, concentration index; Agresti, Agresti’s α. | |||||||||||||||||
