Disparities in the Prevalence of Urinary Diseases Among Prisoners in Taiwan: Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Urinary system infections and inflammation are common in prisons. Our findings advocate for policy reforms aimed at improving health care accessibility in prisons, with a particular focus on the needs of high-risk groups such as women and older prisoners. Further research linking claims data with prisoner information is crucial to providing more comprehensive medical services and achieving health equity.
