Results: The literature of health equity has been proposed in three categories: "What is the ultimate goal of health?", "How to reach the ultimate goal" and "the need is centered value" according to the most important questions of health equity.
Conclusion: The most important questions of health equity, which are under the three main categories of “What is the ultimate goal of health?",”How to reach the ultimate goal" and " the need is centered value", are the most important achievements of this study. Among the various questions, the first category is of particular importance and is central to other questions.
