[Development of a model for explaining health inequality]

[Article in German]
T Elkeles et al. Gesundheitswesen. 1997 Mar.

Abstract

The article proposes a model for systematizing the discussion about the mechanisms of production and reproduction of health inequalities. It starts from existing explanation approaches for combining social and health inequalities in West German literature, from contributions of stress and health lifestyle research and from internationally discussed approaches. The proposed model tries to integrate possibilities of explaining different existing approaches.
