The Final Report of the World Health Organization (WHO) Commission on the Social Determinants of Health is a substantial and important contribution to understanding the social factors that shape global health inequities. Although gender is highlighted as a key social determinant of health, the report's conceptual approach inappropriately equates gender and health with women's health. This essay discusses the analytic and policy implications of this shortcoming.
世界卫生组织(WHO)健康问题社会决定因素委员会的最终报告,对于理解塑造全球健康不平等现象的社会因素而言,是一份内容充实且意义重大的贡献。尽管性别被视为健康问题的关键社会决定因素,但该报告的概念性方法却不适当地将性别与健康等同于女性健康。本文探讨了这一缺陷所带来的分析及政策影响。
