It discusses the extant literature in this field that strongly correlates differences in social status with health behaviours and outcomes, and add to this literature by providing a coherent theoretical explanation for the causes of these health inequalities. It also shows that much research is needed on the precise factors and the social and socio-psychological mechanisms that are at play in creating and cementing social inequalities in health behaviours. While social support and social relations have received considerable attention within social and behavioural science research on health inequalities, this book considers the whole network of interpersonal relations, structures and influence mechanisms. This is the perspective of the social network analytical approach which has recently gained much attention in health research. The chapters of this book cover state-of-the-art research, open research questions, and perspectives for future research. The book provides network analyses on health inequalities from the perspective of sociology, psychology, and public health and is of interest to a wide range of scholars, students and practitioners trying to understand how health inequalities are reproduced across generations.SociologybicsscSociety & social sciencesbicsscMedical sociologybicsscGeriatric medicinebicsscSocial workbicsscSocial NetworksHealth InequalitiesSocial Inequalities in HealthSocial Determinants of HealthSocial Network AnalysisSocial CapitalSocial SupportHealth SociologyHealth PsychologySocial StatusSociologySociety & social sciencesMedical sociologyGeriatric medicineSocial workMED032000SOC000000SOC025000SOC026000SOC057000bisacshKlärner Andreas1970-1258874Gamper Markus1257214Keim-Klärner Sylvia1257215Moor Irene1257216von der Lippe Holger1257217Vonneilich Nico1257218MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910580293703321Social Networks and Health Inequalities2917265UNINA
