description Introduction. This research analyzes whether health is among the three main expenditures that a household allocates from its income in the population at the base of the pyramid (BoP) and whether there is an association with people belonging to different socioeconomic levels of the BoP in the state of Táchira, Venezuela. Methods. Data was obtained from a structured questionnaire applied to a sample of 1,398 households in the Táchira region, Venezuela, which were classified by socioeconomic levels through the construction of a global synthetic index that, through scales, allows segmenting households by poverty conditions, from the most intense poverty condition to the most favorable non-poverty condition respectively, resulting in 675 households at the base of the pyramid. Results. For households at BoP levels 2 and 3, health expenditures are presented in greater proportion than in level 1, with a value of 55.74% and 51.77%, respectively, while in level 1 only 26.67% of households included health ex- penditures among the top three, likewise there is evidence of association between the BoP level and the categories of expenditures on housing, public services, health, and education. Conclusions. The results of this research also confirm the theory that the BoP population is heterogeneous due to socio-cultural differences, evidenced in the association that exists between health expenditure and socioeconomic level, when rejecting the hypothesis of independence, which means that the proportion of households that consider health expenditure important varies depending on which level of the BoP they are in.

Esta investigación analiza si la salud se encuentra entre los tres principales gastos que un hogar destina de sus ingresos en la población de la base de la pirámide (BdP) y si existe una asociación con las personas pertenecientes a los diferentes niveles socioeconómicos de la BdP en el estado Táchira, Venezuela. Métodos. Los datos se obtuvieron a partir de un cuestionario estructura-do aplicado a una muestra de 1.398 hogares de la región de Táchira, Venezuela, los cuales fueron clasificados por niveles socioeconómicos mediante la construcción de un índice sintético global que, a través de escalas, permite segmentar los hogares por condiciones de pobreza, desde la condición de pobreza más intensa hasta la condición de no pobreza más favorable respectivamente, resultando 675 hogares en la base de la pirámide. Resultados. Para los hogares en los niveles 2 y 3 de la BoP, los gastos en salud se presentan en mayor proporción que en el nivel 1, con un valor de 55.74% y 51.77%, respectivamente, mientras que en el nivel 1 sólo el 26.67% de los hogares incluyeron los gastos en salud entre los tres principales, así mismo existe evidencia de asociación entre el nivel de la BoP y las categorías de gastos en vivienda, servicios públi-cos, salud y educación. Conclusiones. Los resultados de esta investigación también confirman la teoría que la población BoP es heterogénea debido a diferencias socioculturales, evidenciado en la asociación que existe entre el gasto en salud y el nivel socioeconómico, al rechazar la hipótesis de independencia, lo que significa que la proporción de hogares que consideran el gasto en salud importante varía dependiendo en qué nivel de la BoP se encuentre.pdfengSociedad Latinoamericana de HipertensiónAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Revista Latinoamericana de HipertensiónVol. 17, No. 7 (2022)Base of the pyramidSocioeconomic levelHealth spendingPovertyBase de la pirámideNivel socioeconómicoGasto sanitarioPobrezaImportance of health spending in the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) population in Táchira, VenezuelaLa importancia del gasto en salud en la población de la Base de la Pirámide (BoP) de Táchira, Venezuelainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleArtículo científicohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Yunus M.
