Sammanfattning
The national public health policy is clearly focusing health equity, which is also
reflected in the instruction of the Swedish Public Health Agency. In this article,
we discuss the concepts of social determinants, social investments, and social
sustainability. The discussion is based on the factual and value premises
of public health. We state that the concepts are not new in the public health
area, but have contributed to increased attention to equity and sustainability.
The Swedish Public Health Agency operates broadly for decreased health inequities
and observes the need of analytical development regarding inequity
measure, health measure, epidemiologic analysis, and evaluation of interventions.
We believe it is important to present facts in manners giving politicians
the opportunity to make informed decisions.
