The objective of this study was to determine the strength of various socio economic indicators for predicting less than good health among elderly people aged 60 -79 years. Data were obtained from national health surveys from 10 european countries. Education, income and housing tenure were examined in relation to less than good health surveys from 10 european countries. Education, income and housing tenure were examined in relation to less than good health using standardised prevalence rates and multiple logistic regression analyses. The results illustrated that there are substantial health differences among the elderly according to education and income in each country. Both education and income (with men) showed a strong indepedent relationship with health status. Health differences according to housing tenure were generally showed a strong independent relationship with health status. health differences accoridng to housing tenure were generally somewhat smaller. However in great britain and the netherlands housing tenure demonstrated large health differences even after adjusment for education both education and income are used when studying socio economic health differences among the elderly. In some countries, like great britain and the netherlands, however housing tenure has an addititonal value.
