Abstract: Abstract Comparison of different indices in evaluating the association between socio-economic (SE) inequalities and disease is important to select the most efficient indicators for intervention policies. Therefore, SE indices of different methodological inspiration were compared to analyse the effects of deprivation on cancer mortality by cause at local levels. Four indices, two drawn from the European Deprivation Index (EDI) for Italy and two from the Italian Deprivation Index (IDI), were computed for Umbria region and Genoa city by two different techniques (classification by quintiles vs. by normalization). A fifth one, the Socio-Health Deprivation Index (SHDI), was calculated and normalised specifically for the studied populations. ANOVA with F-test (p
