摘要：Using the nationally representative SLáN datasets for 2002 and 2007 we calculateconcentration indices for the incidence of obesity for men and women. We find higherconcentration indices for women than for men in both years, but that the gap narrowed over timewith the index rising for men but falling for women. A decomposition of the concentration indexsuggests that the greatest contributions to the index for both men and women come from own self-assessed health, third level education and equivalised income
