Synopsis

The lifecourse perspective on adult health and on health inequalities in particular, is one of the most important recent developments in epidemiology and public health. This book brings together, in a single volume, the work of one of the most distinguished academics in the field. It is the first to specifically take a lifecourse approach to health inequalities and will be essential reading for academics, students and policy makers with an interest in public health, epidemiology, health promotion and social policy.

Media Reviews
... a fascinating volume: provocative and challenging, often humorous but never dull. Health Service Journal
For anyone who teaches, writes or even has only a passing interest in the field of health inequalities this volume would definitely be value for money and a useful resource to have at hand. The readability of the papers will also lead to use by both undergraduate and graduate students alike. Health Economics
This book will become a classic for those interested in health inequalities. Jenny Roberts, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
This book provides the epidemiological background for a new and important way of thinking about how and when we intervene to reduce health inequalities. Professor Davey Smith's research on the life course and health is truly innovative and unique. Many academics from diverse disciplines will want this as part of their permanent libraries.
