[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS QFR0xZtq. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. In this glossary, the authors address eight key questions pertinent to health inequalities : (1) What is the distinction between health inequality and health inequity ? (2) Should we assess health inequalities themselves, or social group inequalities in health ? (3) Do health inequalities mainly reflect the effects of poverty, or are they generated by the socioeconomic gradient ? (4) Are health inequalities mediated by material deprivation or by psychosocial mechanisms ? (5) Is there an effect of relative income on health, separate from the effects of absolute income ? (6) Do health inequalities between places simply reflect health inequalities between social groups or, more significantly, do they suggest a contextual effect of place ? (7) What is the contribution of the lifecourse to health inequalities ? (8) What kinds of inequality should we study ?
