“…Our study supports reflections on health policies directed to the care of undocumented migrants, which recall previous findings on the potential role of the NHS to tackle inequities in health [38]. With undocumented migrants, though, the ability of the NHS to treat patients must be enriched by the capacity to reach them.…”

“…Adherence to treatment for chronic diseases can be influenced by the territorial health care organization: for example, for diabetes, diagnostic-therapeutic care assistance is guaranteed by the presence of diabetes centres throughout the national territory. This organization, by increasing patient care, indirectly improves equity in access to pharmacological treatments [ 39 , 40 ]. On the other hand, where therapeutic care is entrusted only to the general practitioner, individual characteristics and behaviours may play a key role on treatment compliance and the SEP indicator based on municipal area may not be suitable, suggesting the need to perform further studies using an individual SEP indicator.…”

These findings suggest that there are gender-based differences in lifestyle depending on the level of education and social class, that behave in a similar way in different geographical areas [ 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”
