近年来，交叉性在健康不平等研究中受到越来越多的关注。它表明，单独对待社会特征（主要是年龄、性别、种族和社会经济地位）与人们同时体现多种特征并因此可能遭受多种形式歧视的现实不符。然而，交叉性文献很少关注衰老的本质或生命历程，老年学也很少纳入交叉性的见解。在本文中，我们旨在说明如何将交叉性与生命历程的视角相结合，以提供对不平等老龄化的新颖见解，特别是在健康方面。首先，我们概述了如何在不平等研究中使用交叉性，重点关注交叉亚组、歧视、分类和个体异质性。我们介绍了两种关键方法——在传统模型和多级模型中使用交互项，这些模型特别关注粒度子组差异。在从生命历程的角度推进概念对话时，我们讨论了角色、生命阶段、转变、年龄/群体、累积劣势/优势和轨迹等概念。我们的结论是，交叉性与生命历程之间的协同作用提供了令人兴奋的机会，可以为不平等的老龄化及其随之而来的健康不平等带来新的见解。
Intersectionality has received an increasing amount of attention in health inequalities research in recent years. It suggests that treating social characteristics separately—mainly age, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic position—does not match the reality that people simultaneously embody multiple characteristics and are therefore potentially subject to multiple forms of discrimination. Yet the intersectionality literature has paid very little attention to the nature of ageing or the life course, and gerontology has rarely incorporated insights from intersectionality. In this paper, we aim to illustrate how intersectionality might be synthesised with a life course perspective to deliver novel insights into unequal ageing, especially with respect to health. First we provide an overview of how intersectionality can be used in research on inequality, focusing on intersectional subgroups, discrimination, categorisation, and individual heterogeneity. We cover two key approaches—the use of interaction terms in conventional models and multilevel models which are particularly focussed on granular subgroup differences. In advancing a conceptual dialogue with the life course perspective, we discuss the concepts of roles, life stages, transitions, age/cohort, cumulative disadvantage/advantage, and trajectories. We conclude that the synergies between intersectionality and the life course hold exciting opportunities to bring new insights to unequal ageing and its attendant health inequalities.
