Gender Differences in Health and Health Determinants among Older Persons in Jamaica

Health is affected by social,economic, and biological factors which are often disproportionately distributed between genders. Identifying differences will facilitate evidence-based responses.This paper examines gender differences in chronic diseases and risk factors among persons ≥60 years. A nationally-representative, community-based survey (N = 2943) was conducted in 2012. Interviewers collected demographic, socio-economic, health, and lifestyle data. Clinical data were obtained from a randomly selected sub-sample (n = 373).
