Zusammenfassung

Es werden gesundheitliche Ungleichheiten entlang der am häufigsten verwendeten Indikatoren Schulbildung, Beruf, Einkommen und Vermögen beschrieben. Anhand von Studienergebnissen wird gezeigt, dass gesundheitliche Ungleichheiten von wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen bei den am häufigsten auftretenden Erkrankungen gefunden wurden, und dass sie über die gesamte Lebensspanne vorkommen. Soziale Deprivation im frühen Kindesalter kann mit bleibenden Benachteiligungen und verringerten Lebenschancen einhergehen. Insbesondere psychische Erkrankungen können zu sozialen Abstiegen führen. Intergenerationale soziale Mobilität führt zu einer Angleichung von Krankheitsrisiken an die Muster der Ankunftsgruppe.
