In this groundbreaking book, epidemiologist Michael Marmot marshals evidence from nearly thirty years of research to demonstrate that status is not a footnote to the causes of ill health-it is the cause. He calls this effect the status syndrome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe status syndrome is pervasive. It determines the chances that you will succumb to heart disease, stroke, cancers, infectious diseases, even suicide and homicide. And the issue, as Marmot shows, is not simply one of income or lifestyle. It is the psychological experience of inequality-how much control you have over your life and the opportunities you have for full social participation-that has a profound effect on your health. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Status Syndrome\u003c\/i\u003e will utterly change the way we think about health, society, and how we live our lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Marmot\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of epidemiology and public health at University College, London, where he is also the director of the International Center for Health and Society.
