| Annotation | This is the fourth in a series of articles examining the factors that affect the relationship between deprivation and health. This article argues that a life course approach is necessary to understand social variations in health. Life course research is showing us the extent to which health at older ages has been affected by the impact of policy measures on different sections of the population, as cohorts move through time and encounter the life transitions which, at some stage, affects everyone. |
