We examine epidemiological evidence for the central role of inequalities (principally economic) in driving the onset of mental disorders, physical ill health and premature mortality. We locate the search for solutions in current UK contexts, and include known and likely effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prevention of mental disorders and adverse outcomes such as premature mortality must begin with efforts to mitigate rising poverty-inequality.
我们研究了不平等（主要是经济不平等）在引发精神障碍、身体健康不佳和过早死亡方面所起核心作用的流行病学证据。我们将寻找解决方案的工作置于英国当前的背景下，并纳入了新冠疫情已知的和可能产生的影响。预防精神障碍以及诸如过早死亡等不良后果必须从努力缓解不断加剧的贫困不平等现象开始。
