Intersectionality in the self-perceived health status of the Argentine population (2005-2018)

In this study, inequalities in the self-perceived health status of the population residing in Argentina aged 18 years and older are analyzed from an intersectional perspective. Data from the four editions of the Encuesta Nacional de Factores de Riesgo (ENFR 2005, 2009, 2013, and 2018) are used and different models of binary logistic regressions are carried out with the inclusion of terms of interaction between variables. The results show that in all the years in which the ENFR was carried out, the pattern that inequalities in self-perception of health are intersectional is repeated. Gender inequities are significantly more important among those who reside in households with fewer economic resources, young people, and those with lower educational levels. They in comparison to those residing in households with greater economic resources, people with higher educational levels, and older adults.
