The document discusses patterns and trends in health and illness. It references The Black Report produced in 1980 by the Department of Health, which investigated the link between ill health and social groups. The Black Report identified four sociological explanations for health inequalities: artifact, which sees health inequalities as a result of measurement errors; natural/social selection, which argues health causes social class; cultural/behavioral, which links ill health to lifestyle choices rather than chance; and materialist, which ties health to material living conditions.
