Egede delivers a rigorous, accessible examination of the forces behind persistent chronic disease disparities.

Delve into clear analyses that connect housing, employment, neighborhood environments, racism, and policy to the prevalence and progression of chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory illness. Using real-world examples from urban and rural communities across the United States and comparative perspectives from global health settings, Egede frames structural inequality as both a cause and a solvable challenge.
