본 연구는 소득계층별 노인 가구와 비 노인 가구의 보건의료비 지출의 불평등과 그 특징을 확인함으로써 노인 가구 특성에 맞는 보건의료이용 불평등 해소정책을 제안하기 위해 수행되었다. 분석결과 노인 가구의 보건의료비 지출이 비 노인 가구에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 많았다. 또한, 소득계층별 보건의료비 지출의 불평등을 확인하기 위해 집중지수를 산출한 결과 비 노인 가구, 노인 가구, 전체의 순으로 불평등이 컸다. 보건의료비 지출이 가구소득불평등에 미친 영향을 확인하기 위해 총 소득에서 보건의료비 지출액을 제외한 소득의 집중지수를 산출한 결과 노인 가구, 전체 가구, 비 노인 가구의 순으로 불평등이 컸다. 따라서 노인 가구와 비 노인 가구 각각의 보건의료비 지출의 불평등 차이가 크지 않았다. 또한, 노인 가구의 보건의료비 지출액이 비 노인 가구에 비해서 많고, 노인 가구의 소득계층별 보건의료비 지출의 불평등 정도가 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 노인 가구에 대한 의료비 지원정책으로 필요한 의료서비스를 이용하지 못하는 사례가 없도록 함으로서 불평등을 해소하기 위해 노력하여야 한다.
