[ES] El objetivo de este artículo es conocer el estado de salud de las personas de edad en España en relación a los menores de sesenta y cinco años y analizar los factores que influyen sobre la valoración que la población vieja hace de su propio estado de salud. Se observan diferencias estadísticas en cuanto al estado de salud y morbilidad percibidos por la población según su edad, pero también según sexo, tamaño del hogar, renta y, sobre todo, nivel de instrucción. Ambos hechos nos conducen a concluir, de un lado, que los ancianos padecen como colectivo desigualdades en su nivel de salud con respecto a otros grupos demográficos definidos por la edad y, de otro, que la población anciana, debido a sus propias características socioeconómicas internas, presenta una destacable heterogeneidad en lo que se refiere a problemas y necesidades.
[EN] The aims of this paper are to know the state of health of the elderly in relation to under 65s and to analyse the factors influencing the evaluation of the retired population’s own health, in Spain. Statistical differences were observed in perceived health status and morbidity according to age, but also in relation with gender, household size, income and, moreover, academic level. Both facts lead to the conclusion that, on one hand, the elderly as a group suffer health inequalities with regard to other demographic groups defined by age and that, on the other hand,the elderly, dueto their own internal socioeconomic characteristics, show an outstanding heterogeneity in reference to health needs and problems.
