Expanding NIH ’s Definition of Socio-Economic Disadvantaged to be More Inclusive and Diversify the Workforce
An extensive literature demonstrates that socioeconomic status is one of the
strongest predictors of health, on par with typical
risk markers like smoking, physical inactivity, hypertension, and
diabetes. An intriguing graphic shows life
expectancy according to stops on the London subway system – as described in a news story, “if you travel eastbound between Lancaster Gate and Mile
End – 20 minutes on the Central line – life expectancy decreases by 12
years.” This association of strong links
between socioeconomic status and health is remarkably reproducible – including
on subway maps of the ...
