Toward understanding the association of socioeconomic status and health: a new challenge for the biopsychosocial approach

NB Anderson and CA Armstead
Department of Psychiatry, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA.

The association of socioeconomic status (SES) with morbidity and mortality is a ubiquitous finding in the health literature. One of the principal challenges for biobehavioral researchers is understanding the mechanisms that link SES with health outcomes. This article highlights possible pathways by which SES may influence health. It also provides a discussion of sociodemographic and geographical modifiers of the SES-health relationship and offers several potentially fruitful directions for future research.
