| Annotation | Reliance on policies that address narrowly defined stages of life is not enough to improve and reduce inequalities. A strong case exists for coherent policies that consider the influences of early or timely action on health throughout life and across generations. Important points in people's lives - particularly transitions during changes in role and status - offer opportunities to act that improve health outcomes later. Adoption of a life-course approach that mobilises a range of actors across government and society presents policy-makers with unique opportunities to improve health and well-being, promote social justice, and contribute to sustainable development and inclusive growth.
