近日，我院姚強副教授及其合作者在衛生管理國際權威期刊《BMJ Global Health》發表題為(wei) “Decomposing Income-Related Inequality in Health-Related Quality of Life in Mainland China: A National Cross-Sectional Study”的原創性研究成果。

  文章簡介：健康與(yu) 公平是衛生係統的重要目標，了解居民的健康公平性對於(yu) 衛生的評價(jia) 及政策製定具有重要意義(yi) 。本研究通過全國性的中國居民心理與(yu) 行為(wei) 調查研究(Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents, PBICR)，利用集中指數及其分解方法和EQ-5D-5L量表，分析了我國居民健康相關(guan) 生命質量的不平等水平及其影響因素，結果顯示，我國健康不平等水平總體(ti) 較低但是仍然存在親(qin) 富性不平等，健康素養(yang) 、慢性病患病以及經濟收入水平是導致健康不平等在主要因素，農(nong) 村和西部地區健康不平等水平相對較高。因此，降低居民健康素養(yang) 、慢性病及其經濟收入不平等情況，尤其是農(nong) 村和西部不發達地區，對於(yu) 提高衛生係統的公平性具有重要意義(yi) 。

   Abstract：Introduction Health equity is an important indicator measuring social development and solidarity. However, there is a paucity in nationwide studies into the inequity in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in mainland China, in particular using the most recent data measuring HRQoL using the EuroQol 5-Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L). This study aimed to address the gap in the literature by estimating and decomposing income-related inequality of the utility index (UI) of EQ-5D-5L in mainland China.

     Methods Data were extracted from the Psychology and Behaviour Investigation of Chinese Residents (2022), including 19 738 respondents over the age of 18 years. HRQoL was assessed by the UI of the EQ-5D-5L. Concentration index (CI) was calculated to measure the degree of income-related inequality in the UI. The contributions of individual, behavioural and context characteristics to the CI were estimated using the Wagstaff decomposition method.

     Results The CI of the EQ-5D-5L UI reached 0.0103, indicating pro-rich inequality in HRQoL. Individual characteristics made the greatest contribution to the CI (57.68%), followed by context characteristics (0.60%) and health behaviours (−3.28%). The contribution of individual characteristics was mainly attributable to disparities in the enabling (26.86%) and need factors (23.86%), with the chronic conditions (15.76%), health literacy (15.56%) and average household income (15.24%) as the top three contributors. Educational level (−5.24%) was the top negative contributor, followed by commercial (−1.43%) and basic medical insurance (−0.56%). Higher inequality was found in the least developed rural (CI=0.0140) and western regions (CI=0.0134).

      Conclusion Pro-rich inequality in HRQoL is evident in mainland China. Targeted interventions need to prioritise measures that aim at reducing disparities in chronic conditions, health literacy and income.
