Sociaal-economische verschillen in gezondheid in Europa : studies naar populaties van middelbare leeftijd en ouderen, met speciale aandacht voor de bijdrage van roken
The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in health among middle-aged and older men and women within Europe, and to contribute to the explanation of these inequalities. The contribution of smoking to socioeconomic inequalities in health was estimated as one approach to explaining socioeconomic inequalities in health in European countries. In this discussion section a summary of the results and comments on the validity of the study will be given. This will be followed by a discussion of possible explanations of the findings. At the end, implications for public health policy will be formulated, and some guidelines for future research will be given
