Description
Why are some people healthy and others not? This deceptively simple question has many and complex answers. The book of this title, published in 1994, represented a milestone in the understanding of the determinants of population health.

Its chapters emphasized the growing evidence that the socio-economic context in which individuals live and work both influences their health directly, and lies "upstream" from other behavioural and biological factors that influence health status over the life course. The book's impact can be found today in training and research programs, in research funding priorities, in new data resources, and in the organizational structures of institutions responsible for public health policy, in Canada and beyond.
