However, their variables and measurable characteristics have not been unequivocally assessed. A comprehensive database literature scoping review was performed to identify all individual-based social deprivation and vulnerability indices. Area-based indices and those developed for pediatric populations were excluded. Data were extracted from all eligible studies and their methodology was assessed with quality criteria. A total of 14 indices were identified, of which 64% (9\/14) measured social deprivation and 36% (5\/14) measured socioeconomic vulnerability. Sum of weights was the most common scoring system, present in 43% (6\/14) of all indices, with no exclusive domains to either vulnerability or deprivation indices. A total of 83 different variables were identified; a very frequent variable (29%; 5\/14) related to an individual\u2019s social relationships was \u201cseen any family or friends or neighbors.\u201d Only five deprivation indices reported a specific internal consistency measure, while no indices reported data on reproducibility. This is the first scoping review of individual-based deprivation and vulnerability indices, which may be used interchangeably when measuring the impact of SES on health outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2024.1403723","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]],"date-time":"2024-08-14T06:10:03Z","timestamp":1723615803000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Individual-based socioeconomic vulnerability and deprivation indices: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Dionysios","family":"Palermos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elpida","family":"Pavi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Halvatsiotis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Polyxeni","family":"Mangoulia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theodoros N.","family":"Sergentanis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theodora","family":"Psaltopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.1999.tb08101.x","article-title":"Socioeconomic status and health: what we know and what we don't","volume":"896","author":"Adler","year":"1999","journal-title":"Ann N Y Acad Sci"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"816","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.82.6.816","article-title":"Socioeconomic status and health: how education, income, and occupation contribute to risk factors for cardiovascular disease","volume":"82","author":"Winkleby","year":"1992","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"186","DOI":"10.1111\/1753-6405.12762","article-title":"Socioeconomic status and multimorbidity: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"42","author":"Pathirana","year":"2018","journal-title":"Aust N Z J Public Health"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"598","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494819851364","article-title":"29 recommendations to combat social inequalities in health.
