Milyo, Jeffrey su: Income inequality Health & income United States sug: subj: United States Income inequality Health & income ab: Several recent studies have identified an association between income inequality and aggregate health outcomes; this has been taken to be evidence that inequality is detrimental to individual health.

Our results contradict recent claims that the psychosocial effects of income inequality have dramatic consequences for individual health outcomes.
