dc.description.abstractDespite epidemiological transition, socioeconomic health disparities remain more pronounced in early childhood and adolescence than in adulthood. The poorest groups face worse outcomes in maternal care, infant mortality, stunting, and teenage pregnancy. In richer countries, inequalities in child health are smaller, but inequalities in some adult health outcomes are larger.
