Comments on 'welfare status, illness and subjective health definition'

P.B. Cornely

American Journal of Public Health, 1978, vol. 68, issue 9, 870-871

Abstract: This analysis demonstrates that illness is highly correlated with the socioeconomic status of individuals and groups. Social scientists should stop looking for esoteric perceptions as agents of disease which continue to blame the victim, and turn their emphasis on societal factors which deprive individuals - namely employment, nutrition, nutrition, environmental sanitation, and personal accountability - which are truly the determinants of a high degree of wellness.
