NEWS SCOOP—HOLD THE FRONT PAGE: "POVERTY DAMAGES HEALTH"
In this issue, we carry a number of research papers, which, in one way and another, address issues of poverty, deprivation, and health. For example:
- Geographical variation in life expectancy at birth in England and Wales is largely explained by deprivation.
- Is the rate of biological aging, as measured by age at diagnosis of cancer, socioeconomically patterned? Answer: it seems to be.
- Does material disadvantage explain the increased risk of adverse health, educational and behavioural outcomes among children in lone parent households in Britain? Answer: apparently yes.
- In Italy, income inequality has an independent and more powerful effect on life expectancy at birth than does per capita income and educational attainment; the relation between income inequality and population health has not disappeared.
- Material and behavioural factors explain more than half of occupational class differences in self related health among women and one third among men
