Abstract:
Social inequalities in health are defined by the observation of a difference in health risk associated with an individual’s place in the community. The social determinants of health are man-made, dependent on the way society is organized, and can therefore be modified by collective decisions.
This is part of a Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) lecture series on epidemiology and prevention. The series is supported by the FNR’s RESCOM programme.
