Intra-urban health differentials in London - urban health indicators and policy implications

Megan Landon

Environmental Epidemiology Unit, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Keppel St., LONDON WC1E 7HT m.landon{at}lshtm.ac.uk

The paper describes health differentials between small areas within three boroughs (local government areas) in London - including the incidence of TB, asthma and respiratory diseases - and their associations with deprivation, unemployment and poor housing conditions. It also discusses the value of measuring such intra-urban health differentials for policy- making and illustrates how addressing social inequalities and economic disadvantages may be among the most effective interventions to improve health.
