Introduction - The 2008 Household Survey on Disability and Health provides a basis for analyzing social inequalities in health through various self-reported indicators: perceived health, functional limitations, health determinants, and use of screening services. Method - The survey is based on a sample of 23,700 individuals representative of the population aged 18 or older living at home. A logistic model is used to compare health risks by social category (SC) for each of the health indicators studied. Results - At the same age, male and female manual workers are 3 and 4 times more likely, respectively, to report poor health than managers. After age 60, manual workers also report disabilities twice as often and twice as many difficulties maintaining independence in daily activities as managers. Discussion - Regardless of the indicator studied, a social gradient exists between managers and intermediate-level professionals on one hand, and employees and manual workers on the other. This gradient is, however, less pronounced among women in terms of screening utilization, likely because they are more closely connected to the healthcare system. These health inequalities can be partly explained by differing working conditions: self-rated health reflects social status but also environment, lifestyles, and health-related behaviors. (R.A.)
