Abstract
Background Evidence from other studies has show large, systematic differences between the health of social groups. It is not clear whether this relationship applies equally to all areas of health need. We assess whether a variety of areas of ill health show positive correlations with increasing socioeconomic disadvantage, and whether there are indicators of socioeconomic disadvantage that are better than others at predicting the prevalence of specific morbidities at a population level.Keywords
