Reduction of health disparities and advancement equity in the United States require high-quality data indicative where nation stands vis-à-vis equity, as well proper analytic tools to facilitate accurate interpretation these data. This article opens with an overview social determinants health. It then proposes a set recommended practices measurement disparities, inequities, at national level support highlighting that (1) differences its are associated position important assess; (2)...
Background: Male pattern baldness (MPB) also known as androgenetic alopecia (AA) affects approximately half of men by the fifth decade, and significantly influences both psychological well-being quality life. Existing pharmacotherapies include oral finasteride, which reduces dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels slows follicular miniaturization, topical minoxidil, enhances blood flow extends anagen phase. However, adherence to regimens can be suboptimal. A combined low-dose minoxidil (2.5...

Abstract In this paper, we evaluate 11 measures of inequality, d(p1, p2), between 2 proportions p1 and p2, some which are new to the health disparities literature. These selected because they continuous, nonnegative, equal 0 if only |p1 − p2| = 0, maximal when 1. They also symmetrical [d(p1, p2) d(p2, p1)] complement-invariant d(1 1 p1)]. To study intermeasure agreement, 5 measures, including absolute difference, retained, remain finite Even assumed be drawn at random from a shared...
