The development of health across an individual’s life depends on many factors, but social determinants play a vital role. This timely Handbook simultaneously uses theoretical, descriptive, explanatory and policy approaches to explore health inequalities related to income, education, occupational status, social capital, and also biological and genetic factors.
The handbook is edited by Rasmus Hoffmann, Professor of Sociology, Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, University of Bamberg, Germany.
