Desigualdades socioeconómicas en salud en la Argentina e Italia en 2015-2018

Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
En la literatura hay una falta de investigación acerca de las desigualdades en salud en Sudamérica y sus diferencias con respecto a las de los países desarrollados. Como en Italia se han registrado tendencias similares en los últimos años y muestra similaridades con la Argentina, se ha decidido utilizar el país mediterráneo con fines comparativos. La hipótesis planteada consistió en que, más allá de las diferencias estructurales, las desigualdades en salud presentarían patrones similares en ambos países, caracterizados por una economía capitalista. Los grupos sociales en posiciones educativas y ocupacionales favorables exhibirían un mejor estado de salud que los grupos desfavorecidos. Se presentaron algunas estadísticas descriptivas sobre la situación general en los dos países, y luego se analizaron datos provenientes de dos encuestas que recolectan información individual sobre condiciones sociales y estados de salud (EDSA, de 2017 a 2018, y “EHIS - European Health Interview Survey”, ISTAT, 2015). Los resultados muestran que la Argentina e Italia poseen diferentes niveles de bienestar, tasa de mortalidad y servicios de salud, pero que las disparidades relativas en salud parecen muy similares, confirmando la hipótesis de Marmot (2017) sobre la forma general de las desigualdades en salud. Trabajadores manuales y precarios, particularmente las personas desempleadas, sistemáticamente presentan un peor estado de salud percibido con respecto a las clases sociales más altas.
