The Status Syndrome: How Social Standing Affects Our Health and Longevity - Book by Michael Marmot

Name: The Status Syndrome: How Social Standing Affects Our Health and Longevity
Author: Michael Marmot

The Status Syndrome explores the correlation between social hierarchy and health outcomes. Michael Marmot, a leading public health expert, argues that social status, beyond wealth or education, profoundly affects physical and mental health. He draws on decades of research to show that those lower in the social hierarchy face increased stress, leading to higher risks of illness and premature death. Marmot highlights how factors like control over one’s life, social connections, and job satisfaction can influence longevity, challenging the idea that health disparities are solely due to lifestyle choices or access to healthcare.
