This article adopts Pierre Bourdieu's cultural-structuralist approach to conceptualizing and identifying social classes in social space and seeks to identify health effects of class in one Canadian province. Utilizing data from an original questionnaire survey of randomly selected adults from 25 communities in British Columbia, social (class) groupings defined by cultural tastes and dispositions, lifestyle practices, social background, educational capital, economic capital, social capital and occupational categories are presented in visual mappings of social space constructed by use of exploratory multiple correspondence analysis techniques. Indicators of physical and mental health are then situated within this social space, enabling speculations pertaining to health effects of social class in British Columbia.
本文采用皮埃尔·布迪厄的文化结构主义方法，对社会空间中的社会阶层进行概念化和识别，并试图确定加拿大一个省份中阶层对健康的影响。利用对不列颠哥伦比亚省25个社区随机抽取的成年人进行的原始问卷调查数据，通过探索性多重对应分析技术构建社会空间的可视化映射，呈现了由文化品味和性情、生活方式、社会背景、教育资本、经济资本、社会资本和职业类别所定义的社会（阶层）分组。然后将身心健康指标置于这一社会空间中，从而能够推测不列颠哥伦比亚省社会阶层对健康的影响。
