Original text:

“We found no association between age range and having health insurance. Notwithstanding, na evaluative study of health insurance coverage in a population living within a Family Health Strategy catchment area concluded that individuals in the 15 to 24 and 65 and over age groups had more health insurance coverage.²¹

We found higher health insurance coverage among women. This result is similar to that found in Pelotas, RS, in 2007 and 2008.²¹ The growing contribution of women to family income and the greater attention paid by them to health issues probably influenced the finding.”

Corrected text:

“Health insurance coverage was higher among individuals aged 45-59 years old. A study on health insurance coverage in a population served by the Family Health Strategy in Pelotas/RS in 2007 and 2008 also observed an association with age, but among the elderly.²¹ Coverage was also higher among women, differently from what was observed in the Pelotas’ study.²¹ Factors that potentially explain such discrepancies include differences in settings, timeline and population representativeness between studies.”
