  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we develop statistical inference for an important health inequality index proposed by Lv, Wang and Xu [1] for ordinal data. Asymptotic distributions of the indices are established. This allows us to make inference for the indices. Generalizations of the indices to multiple population setting are also studied. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our procedure using the health inequality data of several areas in Switzerland, and our results classify these areas into three classes based on their health inequalities.
