The Health Gap: The Challenge of an Unequal World
There are dramatic differences in health between countries and within
countries. But this is not a simple matter of rich and poor. A poor
man in Glasgow is rich compared to the average Indian, but the
Glaswegian's life expectancy is 8 years shorter. The Indian is dying
of infectious disease linked to his poverty; the Glaswegian of violent
death, suicide, heart disease linked to a rich country's version of
disadvantage. In all countries, people at relative social disadvantage
suffer health disadvantage, dramatically so. Within countries, the
higher the social status of individuals the better is their health.
Status Syndrome: How Your Place on the Social Gradient Directly
Affects Your Health
Who experiences the most stress - the decision-makers or those who
carry out their orders?Why do the Japanese have better health than
other rich populations, and Keralans in India have better health than
other poor populations - and what do they have in common?In this
eye-opening book, internationally renowned epidemiologist Michael
Marmot sets out to answer these and many other fascinating questions
in order to understand the relationship between where we stand in the
social hierarchy and our health and longevity. It is based on more
than thirty years of front-line research between health and social
circumstances. Marmot's work has taken him round the world showing the
similar patterns that could be affecting the length of your life - and
how you can change it......
