Abstract: Stimulated by the finding (Kawachi et al., 1997) that social capital in communities may mediate the relationship between income inequality and health status, this article describes relationships between individual-level elements of social capital -trust, commitment and identity in the social-psychological dimension; participation in clubs and associations and civic participation in the action dimension- and self-rated health status, before and after controlling for human capital.
