“卫生差距”和“卫生公平”已成为公共卫生领域日益熟悉的术语，但它们很少得到明确定义。这些术语的定义含糊不清可能导致资源的误导。本文讨论了更明确卫生差距和卫生公平概念的必要性，提出了定义，并根据伦理和人权领域的原则解释了其基本原理。
"Health disparities" and "health equity" have become increasingly familiar terms in public health, but rarely are they defined explicitly. Ambiguity in the definitions of these terms could lead to misdirection of resources. This article discusses the need for greater clarity about the concepts of health disparities and health equity, proposes definitions, and explains the rationale based on principles from the fields of ethics and human rights.
