     Most women who visit this site
     have heard countless
     messages about how their
     lifestyle decisions influence
     their health. Being physically
     active or eating more fibre are
     tangible ways that women can
     influence their health...but they
     are only part of the picture.

     Late last year, York University
     professor Dennis Raphael
     wrote an exhaustive report for
     the North York Heart Health
     Network, which detailed how
     income limitations can affect a
     person



's cardiovascular
     health. With increasing
     numbers of Canadian women
     living in poverty, income is
     having a growing impact on
     women's health. To learn more
     about how and why social
     inequality affects health, check
     out our interview with Dr
     Raphael.
