Health Inequalities
‘Unfair differences in health within the

different population groups.
These unfair differences:
• Are not random, or by chance, but largely
socially determined
• Not inevitable.

Trends in Health Inequalities in Great
Britain 1921-2007

(W)
deprivation
Obesity Interventions
• Obesity is a major public (Biology & Behaviour)
health problem
• Complex picture
• Product of modern
lifestyles which have
changed work patterns,
transport, food production
and sales
• Requires action at all
levels

sociology, psychology & behavioural
economics
• NICE (2007, 2014) argue no particular model
and the evidence of effectiveness varies.
• Recommend a focus on generic
competences and skills development & to use
a range of methods and approaches
according to best available evidence
Behaviour Change

people live, especially socioeconomic and
cultural context and potential barriers
circumstances may create
