Preferred term

health inequalities  

Definition

  • The socially patterned experience of poorer health based on class position though also intersecting with gendered health issues and ethnicity. Studies have found marked differences in health experiences with those at the bottom of the social system having a much higher mortality rate than those at the top, independently of lifestyle factors.
