This finding of the economically productive age group being more ready to access health care was similar to the findings from a study carried out in 2002 by Valdivia in Peru to assess the magnitude and nature of socio-economic differences in the utilisation of outpatient health care services, which showed that utilisation amongst those who reported illness had a clear trend in favour of the wealthier. 10 Also, another study in Mexico by Leyva-Flores et al. showed that economic barriers were the most frequent reasons for not using primary health care services. 11 Three-quarters of the respondents were married; this was not surprising, as the mean age observed in the study was 55 ± 12 years.
