Abstract
The association between health outcomes and income, education, race/ethnicity, and other proxies of socioeconomic status (SES) has been well described, but the causal drivers of this association remain poorly understood. The precise pathways that lead those of lower SES to have poorer health outcomes compared with those of higher SES remain surprisingly understudied owing to lack of large-scale studies with information appropriate for mediational analysis.Keywords
