| Annotation | This is the first in a series of eight articles examining factors that affect the relation between deprivation and health. It examines some reasons for a belief that fewer disparities in income gives rise to generally better health. During the 1980s income differences widened more rapidly in Britain than in other countries, so that almost a quarter of the population now lives in relative poverty. |
