Abstract

RESUMEN En este artículo, mediante un análisis marginal, se establecen y evalúan los factores determinantes del estado de salud de los colombianos, a partir de los datos obtenidos en la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida, realizada por el DANE en el año 2003.Se utilizó un modelo de respuesta múltiple ordenado. Los resultados son coherentes con la teoría de la demanda por salud y con los principales estudios empíricos nacionales e internacionales. Se encontró que el estado de salud está determinado por la edad, el ingreso, el nivel educativo, la actividad laboral, la ubicación geográfica, el género, los hábitos de las personas, y la seguridad social en salud.
