abstract: 'This chapter reviews recent studies of socioeconomic status (SES) and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
racial differences in health. It traces patterns of the social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distribution of disease over time and describes the evidence for both a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
widening SES differential in health status and an increasing racial gap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in health between blacks and whites due, in part, to the worsening
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health status of the African American population. We also describe
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variations in health status within and between other racial populations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The interactions between SES and race are examined, and we explore the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
link between health inequalities and socioeconomic inequality both by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examining the nature of the SES gradient and by identifying the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
determinants of the magnitude of SES disparities over time. We consider
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the ways in which major social structures and processes such as racism,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
acculturation, work, migration, and childhood SES produce inequalities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in health. We also attend to the ways in which other intervening factors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and resources are constrained by social structure. Measurement issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are addressed, and implications for health policy and future research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are described.'
