Abstract
That there are variations in the health status of different groups of Americans can come as no surprise to any health professional. Studies dating back many years have repeatedly pointed to disparities in health status across different regional populations, economic cohorts, and racial/ethnic groups as well as between men and women. Health disparities are not attributable to any one factor or challenge facing any particular group.
