What is the social gradient of health?Show answer
Health follows a social gradient: the lower a group sits on the social and economic ladder, the worse its health tends to be, in a step-by-step pattern rather than a simple rich-poor split. This gradient appears within Australia and between countries. It is evidence that the determinants of health, not individual choices alone, drive population health, and it justifies targeting action where need is greatest.
