Background: Although widely used, area-based deprivation indices remain sensitive to urban-rural differences as such indices are usually standardised around typical urban values. There is, therefore, a need to determine to what extent available deprivation indices can be used legitimately over both urban and rural areas.
Methods: This study was carried out in Brittany, France, a relatively affluent region that contains deep rural areas.
