Income Inequality and Health Outcomes
During the last several decades, industrialized countries have experienced a growing gap between the rich and the poor. This income inequality is believed to damage health, with even modest associations between inequality and health outcomes having substantial ramifications for society as a whole. While most analyses of income inequality and health have revealed inconsistent results, a new meta-analysis published in a recent issue of British Medical Journal (BMJ) supports the link between income inequality and mortality and self-rated health.
Farewell 2009, Welcome 2010
