Evidence from around the world shows health is a good measure of social and economic progress: if society is flourishing, health tends to flourish; health stops improving, society has stopped improving #Marmot2020 @TheMarmotReview supported by @HealthFdn https://t.co/xXQZqUPRHZ

[IHE (Marmot Review) @TheMarmotReview]

England’s health falters as @TheMarmotReview confirms the north/south health gap divide increases and time spent in poor health increases for men and women in the most deprived areas of the country #Marmot2020 supported by @HealthFdn https://t.co/xXQZqUPRHZ

[IHE (Marmot Review) @TheMarmotReview]

Confirmed by @TheMarmotReview: life expectancy stops improving, has actually fallen for poorest women, health inequalities widen and health deteriorates #Marmot2020 supported by @HealthFdn https://t.co/xXQZqUPRHZ

[The Health Foundation @HealthFdn]

Today @TheMarmotReview launch #Marmot2020, and find that 10 years on from the landmark Marmot review:

➡️ life expectancy improvements have stalled (and declined for poorest 10% of women)
➡️ health gap between rich & poor has widened

We want to highlight discrimination and health inequalities related to race and ethnicity. We invite submissions on how to better characterise the problems and find solutions
