Objective To provide quantitative evaluations on the association between income inequality and health. (bmj.com)
By contrast, analyses accounting for unmeasured regional characteristics showed a weaker association between income inequality and health. (bmj.com)
Conclusions The results suggest a modest adverse effect of income inequality on health, although the population impact might be larger if the association is truly causal. (bmj.com)
The results also support the threshold effect hypothesis, which posits the existence of a threshold of income inequality beyond which adverse impacts on health begin to emerge. (bmj.com)
The stakes in the debate are high because many developed countries have experienced a surge in income inequality during the era of globalisation, and if economic inequality is truly damaging to health, then even a "modest" association can amount to a considerable population burden. (bmj.com)
