Abstract
Nowadays, health inequalities are emerging at short geographic distances, even among the districts of a city in developed and developing countries. In response to these conditions, it is important to study the role of socioeconomic structures and factors in the incidence and distribution of health outcomes. In a five-level framework, the knowledge network of the Commission on Social Determinants of Health clarifies the mechanism of the effect of social determinants on the creation of differences and inequalities in the health of different population groups. The present paper examines the evidence of health inequalities at international and regional levels and explains its reasons.
Keywords: Health Inequality; Health Equity; Social Determinants of Health; Life Expectancy
