English

Poverty, income inequality and the inequitable distribution of health invariably co-occur. The strength of the relationship between wealth and health holds even in countries with universal health care. A systematic literature review describes pathways from inequality of wealth to embodied diseases. The significance for social policy and social work practice is developed.

French

La pauvreté, l’inégalité de revenus et la distribution inégalitaire de la santé se co-produisent invariablement. Le pouvoir de la relation entre richesse et santé s’exerce même dans des pays pourvus d’une couverture santé universelle. Une revue systématique de la littérature décrit les chemins de l’inégalité de la répartition des richesses dans la prise en charge des maladies. La signification pour la politique sociale et la pratique du travail social sera développée.

El fuerte vínculo entre riqueza y salud se mantiene incluso en países donde el cuidado de la salud es universal. Una revisión sistemática de la literatura indica las conexiones entre la desigualdad de riqueza y las enfermedades corporales. Se desarrolla lo significativo de la política social y el trabajo social.
