Annotation	Maria Evandrou's article in Health Statistics Quarterly (Winter 2000), "Ethnic inequalities in health in later life" uses data from the General Household Survey (GHS) 1991 to 1996 to demonstrate the extent of health needs of ethnic minority older people. This article reviews her research, and considers her findings on self-reported health status and explaining variations in health status. It suggests that her analysis should help researchers and practitioners to understand not only the extent of needs, but also the positive contribution that black and minority ethnic (BME) older people make to their families and communities.
