收入、教育、职业、年龄、性别、婚姻状况和种族都在某种情况下与健康相关。本文反思了从这些相关性中得出强有力的科学结论或得出可靠的政策应用所遇到的困难。变量之间的相互作用，非线性，因果推理，和可能的作用机制进行了讨论。未来的工作策略提出了建议，并敦促研究人员特别注意健康，基因和社会经济变量之间可能的相互作用。(C)2004 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Income, education, occupation, age, sex, marital status, and ethnicity are all correlated with health in one context or another. This paper reflects on the difficulties encountered in deriving robust scientific conclusions from these correlations or drawing reliable policy applications. Interactions among the variables, nonlinearities, casual inference, and possible mechanisms of action are discussed. Strategies for future work are suggested, and researchers are urged to pay special attention to possible interactions among health, genes, and socio-economic variables. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
