Product Description

Review

'Marmot's important study shows that - in every culture - our happiness and health are closely related to the place we occupy in the status hierarchy, and that that the key to status is our occupation' Will Hutton, Guardian 'Marmot's fascinating study not only presents its formidable research accessibly, but offers pragmatic steps with which governments, if so inclined, could redress the imbalance this is a pressing polemic bolstered by facts' Scotland on Sunday 'Bubbling with findings, discreetly illuminated by the light of social justice, written considerately for ordinary readers, Status Syndrome is packed with ideas that should have been coursing through public debate for years' Independent 'Marmot is a world-class scientist who writes deeply about matters of life and death with the grace of a world-class essayist Anyone concerned about the health of our society should read this book' Robert D. Putnam, author of Bowling Alone

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration, by numbers, 11 Jun 2004
By Professor Woody Caan (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews
Michael Marmot's mastery of complex, multi-factorial epidemiological "puzzles" finds a crystal clear output in this revelatory book. Status Syndrome brings together many themes around the social determinants of health and makes clear for a broad readership (including opinion leaders in health and social policy!) why reducing social inequalities is so important for the health of populations.

I will certainly be recommending it for my public health trainees, and I hope professionals from many backgrounds with the potential to create a more cohesive, trustworthy and co-operative society will also read it.
