Equity in Health: (i) the absence of systematic or potentially remediable differences in health status, access to healthcare and health-enhancing environments, and treatment in one or more aspects of health across populations or population groups defined socially, economically, demographically or geographically within and across countries. (ii) a measure of the degree to which health policies are able to distribute well-being fairly (WHO Gloss)health inequalities ; Differences in health status or in the distribution of health determinants between different population groups. Some are attributable to biological variations or free choice, and others to the external environment and social conditions outside the control of individuals. In the latter case, they may be unnecessary and avoidable as well as unjust and unfair, and cause or reflect health inequity (Dicepid)Health Status Disparities ; Variation in rates of disease occurrence and disabilities between population groups defined by socioeconomic characteristics such as age, ethnicity, economic resources, or gender and populations identified geographically or similar measures (MeSH)HIGH RISK PATIENT a patient at considerable risk for a special health problem e.g. cardiovascular disease or cancer.
