Background: There exists strong evidence for the correlation between socioeconomic disparities within society and their impact on the health of the population. People living in Latin-American countries experience huge inequalities related to the distribution of the most important social determinants of health (such as education, occupation, income). Elderly populations have shown to be particularly vulnerable to varying health events depending on these social determinants. For that reason, the aim of this study is to evaluate how the socioeconomic conditions inside of Colombia (one of the most unequal countries in the world) influence the prevalence, awareness and control of hypertension among elderly people. Methodology: The 2015 SABE (health, well-being and ageing) population survey was analysed, using the Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) conceptual framework proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). This dissertation is a secondary analysis using the subsample of 5,760 individuals. A multivariate logistic regression model was applied to test the impact of social determinants on the prevalence, awareness, and control of hypertension in the elderly population of Colombia. Results: Our results indicated that the presence of some structural determinants (such as poor educational level, minimum monthly income, lower socioeconomic position, and living in rural areas) and some intermediary determinants (a poor quality health care system, unhealthy diet and poor life satisfaction), were related to poor outcomes in the prevalence, awareness and control of hypertension among elderly Colombian people. Resumen. Antecedentes: Existe una fuerte evidencia de la correlación entre las disparidades socioeconómicas de una sociedad y su impacto en la salud de la población. Las personas que viven en países de América Latina experimentan enormes desigualdades relacionadas con la distribución de los determinantes sociales de la salud (como la educación, trabajo, ingresos). Las poblaciones de edad avanzada ... |
