 In the first known study to assess socioeconomic differences compared with
the burden of ill-health in Sweden, Rickard Ljung et al. analysed a broad
sample of the population. In their paper they find that 30% of the burden
of disease among women and 37% of it among men is the differential burden
due to socioeconomic inequalities in health.

 In a separate study, Tony Blakely et al. analysed survey data for as many
countries as possible to estimate the relative risk association of income
or assets with individual risk factors: underweight, tobacco and alcohol
consumption, unsafe water and sanitation, indoor air pollution and obesity.
They conclude from their findings that large gains in global health will
require both poverty eradication and public health action.
