454 Citations2001John Lynch, George Davey Smith +4 more
Investigation of cross-sectional associations between income inequality and low birthweight, life expectancy, self-rated health, and age-specific and cause-specific mortality among countries providing data in wave III of the Luxembourg Income Study found that income inequality does not seem to be key factors in understanding health differences between these wealthy countries.
Health Education QuarterlyHealth Promotion and Empowerment: Reflections on Professional Practice
370 Citations1994Ronald Labonté
It is argued that health promotion is not a social movement but a professional and bureaucratic response to the new knowledge challenges of social movements, and has both empowering and disempowering aspects.

The LancetHEALTH INEQUALITIES IN BRITAIN AND SWEDEN
173 Citations1989Denny Vågerö, Olle Lundberg
Health differences between social classes are greater in Britain than in Sweden, but persist in both countries despite central Government interventions aimed at the reduction of such differences.
Social Science & MedicineMeanings of community
138 Citations1996Rachel Jewkes, Anne Murcott
It is argued that recognition of the differences in the construction of communities by members and non-members is essential, not least because it demands a fundamental rethinking of the notion of community participation in health.

Family PracticeSocio-economic characteristics of adult frequent attenders in general practice: secondary analysis of data
112 Citations2000B. Scaife
Socio-economic factors were important indicators of frequent attendance in general practice and are valid for further work, suggesting that frequent attendance is a complex process associated with many factors outside the control of the GP.
BMJSocial class differences in infant mortality in Sweden: comparison with England and Wales.
110 Citations1992David A. Leon, Denny Vågerö +1 more
The existence of an equitable health care system and a strong social welfare policy in Sweden has not eliminated inequalities in post-neonatal mortality, and the very low risk of infant death in the Swedish non-manual group represents a target towards which public health interventions should aim.
The LancetPublic health in Europe
82 Citations2000Martin McKee, Bobbie Jacobson
Public health has largely failed in its role as an advocate of the health of the population and there are, however, many encouraging signs that this may change in the future.
Journal of Epidemiology & Community HealthMortality in Glasgow and Edinburgh: a paradigm of inequality in health.
41 Citations1992G. Watt, Russell Ecob
The current 40% cross sectional difference in mortality rates between the cities is largely determined by levels of mortality in early adulthood which provide a baseline for the subsequent rise in log mortality.
European Journal of General PracticeFrequent attendance, socioeconomic status and burden of ill health
28 Citations2003Sally Wyke, Kate Hunt +2 more
Higher levels of frequent attendance experienced by general practitioners serving populations in adverse social circumstances are likely to be explained by higher levels of health needs, and not solely by a greater readiness to consult for whatever reason.
European Journal of Public HealthThe widening social class gap of preventive health behaviours in Spain
22 Citations2001Carlos Álvarez‐Dardet
In the last 10 years the disadvantaged population of Spain has not opted for healthier behavioural choices and the Health Practices Index figures have worsened, so an increase in the existing gap in health inequalities in Spain in terms of morbidity and mortality can be forecast for the near future.
BMJHealth checks for people over 75.
11 Citations1992Samuel D. Winner, Simon Plint
The fact that the excess of non-infarct deaths equals the number ofnon-fatal infarctions prevented and far exceeds the numberOf fatal infarction deaths may be more important than the lack of an accepted explanation for this strikingly consistent phenomenon.
