Abstract

Unsere Studie bestätigt das Vorhandensein von deutlichen Unterschieden hinsichtlich der Prävalenz von schlechtem selbst-beschriebenem Gesundheitszustand innerhalb verschiedener selbst-definierter sozialer Klassen. Teilnehmer aus der niedrigeren selbst-definierten sozialen Klasse hatten die größte Prävalenz des schlechteren selbst-beschriebenen Gesundheitszustandes und sollten in den Mittelpunkt multisektorischer Interventionsprogramme gerückt werden.
