Socio-economic position and quality of life among older people in 10 European countries: results of the SHARE study (2007, background): “People in a lower socio-economic position generally experience worse health than those in a higher position, as well as higher morbidity and mortality rates (Mackenbach et al. 2003; Kunst et al. 2005; Marmot and Wilkinson 2006).”
Effect of exposure to natural environment on health inequalities: an observational population study. (2008, neutral): “Several studies have explored how socio-economic inequalities in health vary from society to society, as a means of trying to establish what kinds of social and economic policies might lead to smaller health inequalities(5-8).”
Education and Health: Evaluating Theories and Evidence (2006, neutral): “For Europe the relationship has been documented in various papers by the Mackenbach group. For example, for Finland, Norway, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Estonia see Mackenbach et al (1999); for Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, France, Italy, Finland and the UK see Kunst and Mackenack”
Association of socioeconomic position with health behaviors and mortality. (2010, background): “Concurrently, there is evidence to suggest that the socioeconomic differences in morbidity and mortality have increased.(4-6) The higher prevalence of unhealthy behaviors in lower socioeconomic positions(7-9) is seen to be one of the mechanisms linking lower socioeconomic position to worse health.”
The persistence of health inequalities in modern welfare states: the explanation of a paradox. (2012, background): “Furthermore, absolute inequalities in mortality have also increased in several countries (Mackenbach et al., 2003; Strand et al., 2010; Valkonen et al., 2000), and their pattern of between-country variation is largely similar to that of relative inequalities in mortality (Mackenbach et al.”
