The theme report 'Health inequalities' of the Dutch 'Public health status and forecasts' 1997 indicates that there are substantial health inequalities between population groups in the Netherlands, most notably with respect to socioeconomic status, but also in respect to other sociodemographic characteristics. It is expected that the numbers of people in several of these disadvantaged groups will increase. Improving the health status of disadvantaged groups can therefore theoretically produce great health gains.
荷兰《1997年公共卫生状况与预测》中的主题报告“健康不平等”指出，荷兰不同人群之间存在显著的健康不平等现象，最明显的是在社会经济地位方面，但在其他社会人口特征方面也存在不平等。预计这些弱势群体中的人数将会增加。因此，从理论上讲，改善弱势群体的健康状况能够带来巨大的健康收益。
