Abstract
There are many factors can influence the inequalities in health care, for example is unequal opportunities in education or employment. It is believed the social determinants of health are causal factors for which inequalities are unjust. Measuring causal variables in this context requires measuring unfair inequalities which implies the distinction categories of variables: namely legitimate effort, legitimate circumstance, illegitimate effort, illegitimate circumstance. The lifestyle is a classic example of inequality as legitimate circumstance because the population can choose. Evaluate measures so as unjust inequality measures in health and care delivery is necessary because the distribution of the variables may reflect fairness. The aim of this study therefore was to reflect on the methods of measurement the inequality for health care. It is an analysis of these methods as the persistence of unjust inequalities no longer exclusively the countries of the "third world" or "developing." Our conclude that there are various methods of analysis the unfair inequalities in health and health care but the method of multivariate analysis is more appropriate to allow different ethical positions.
