Year: 2003

Type: letter

Abstract: The July 2002 article by Daly et al. on optimal indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) for health research is a valuable contribution to the literature on SES and mortality.1 We agree wholeheartedly that it is crucial to measure economic indicators such as income and accumulated wealth to reflect SES adequately in health studies. However, we would like to suggest an important clarification.
