Inequality in Life Expectancy in Korea according to Various Categorizations of the National Health Insurance Premiums as a Marker of Income.

This indicator could be used for future research on health inequalities, as well as for monitoring health inequalities in Korea. PMID: 32608209 [PubMed - in process]
