Aging Health Inequalities

Aging health inequalities refer to the differences in health experiences and outcomes among older adults based on various factors such as socioeconomic status, race, and access to healthcare. These disparities can lead to worse health for certain groups, influenced by their resources, education, and environment. For instance, some older adults may lack access to quality healthcare or live in areas with limited resources, affecting their overall well-being. Understanding these inequalities is crucial for addressing health disparities and ensuring that all older adults receive the support they need for a healthy life.
