The objectives of this review were to identify the population groups most frequently
studied, to determine the methods and techniques most commonly used to show health inequities,
and to identify the most frequent socioeconomic and health indicators used in the studies on health
inequities due to socioeconomic inequalities that have been carried out on the Spanish healthcare
system. A scoping review was carried out of the studies conducted in the Spanish State and published
in literature since 2004, after the publication of the Law of Cohesion and Quality of the National
Health System. The PRISMA extension for scoping reviews was followed. The methodological
quality of the studies was assessed using the critical reading guides of the Joanna Briggs Institute and
an adaptation of the STROBE guide for ecological studies. A total of 58 articles out of 811 articles were
included. Most of the articles were (77.59%, n = 45) cross-sectional studies, followed by ecological
studies (13.8%, n = 8). The population group used was uneven, while the main geographical area
under investigation was the whole state (51.7%, n = 30) compared to other territorial distributions
(48.3%, n = 28). The studies used a multitude of health and socioeconomic indicators, highlighting
self-perception of health (31.03%, n = 19) and social class (50%, n = 29). The relationship between better
health and better socioeconomic status is evident. However, there is variability in the populations,
methods, and indicators used to study health equity in Spain. Future health research and policies
require greater systematization by public institutions and greater cooperation among researchers
from disciplines such as sociology, economics, and health. [-]
