Health Inequality
Increasing evidence from scientists the world over indicates that many health outcomes can be linked to the level of economic inequality within a given population.
Greater economic inequality appears to lead to worse health outcomes.
Epidemiologists (the scientists who study the health of populations)don’t just mean poverty. Poor health and poverty are related.
But high levels of inequality negatively affect the health of even the affluent, mainly because, researchers contend, inequality reduces social cohesion, which leads to more stress, fear, and insecurity for everyone.
