Summary:Does health deterioration manifest at increasingly (dis)similar ages? Iñaki Permanyer, Francisco Villavicencio and Sergi Trias-Llimós explore inequalities in age-at-morbidity onset globally, and find these to be larger than lifespan inequalities. As longevity increases, the locus of health inequality is moving from death-related inequalities to disease- and disability-centered ones.
