- There are significant inequalities in health between individuals and different groups in society. The "Marmot Curve" is a measure of the social gradient in health linking neighbourhood and life expectancy.
- Analysis of data on a wide array of variables for 6,700 areas of England on wider determinants, lifestyles, demographics and public service variables indicates that the Marmot curve improved significantly between 1999–2003 and 2006–10.
