ABSTRACT:
Social markers are fundamental to understanding collective health, as they demonstrate how social and economic variables shape the health conditions of populations. Such markers, which include gender, ethnicity, economic class, and level of education, are intrinsically linked to health inequalities. They determine access to health resources, influence risk behaviors and affect exposure to environments that can be harmful to health. By understanding how these markers operate, it is possible to identify vulnerable groups and systemic inequalities that require specific attention in public health policies. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of social markers on collective health, with special attention to the disparities they promote between different social groups.
