Health disparities are differences in health or disease incidence, prevalence, severity, or disease burden that are experienced by disadvantaged populations. Their root causes are attributed in large part to socially determined factors, including educational level of attainment, socioeconomic status, and physical and social environments. There is an expanding body of evidence documenting differences in dermatologic health status among underserved populations. In this review, the authors highlight inequities in outcomes across 5 dermatologic conditions, including psoriasis, acne, cutaneous melanoma, hidradenitis suppurativa, and atopic dermatitis.
健康差异是指弱势人群在健康或疾病的发病率、患病率、严重程度或疾病负担方面所经历的差异。这些差异的根本原因很大程度上归因于社会决定因素，包括受教育程度、社会经济地位以及物质和社会环境。越来越多的证据表明，服务不足人群的皮肤健康状况存在差异。在这篇综述中，作者强调了 5 种皮肤病（包括银屑病、痤疮、皮肤黑色素瘤、化脓性汗腺炎和特应性皮炎）的结局不平等现象。
