Changes in the consideration of (Nutrition and) Health in Poverty Statistics August 24-25, 2006

This article explores the impact of nutrition and health on poverty statistics. Topics include health adjusted poverty lines, defining health care needs, household health expenditures, public health insurance, and the role of health-related catastrophic expenditures in poverty dynamics. It also examines the biological dimensions of poverty, including malnutrition and obesity, and their relationship to human development potential.
