State
A health disparity is measured by comparing standardized outcomes, such as life expectancy or infant mortality, across groups by race, class, or gender.
Show
Comparing two groups' infant mortality rates, measured consistently, isolates a gap rather than an artifact of differing measurement.
Watch for
A measured gap between groups describes an aggregate comparison; it does not predict any individual's health within either group.
