The democratisation of health in the real world

What a curious era we live in. Equality and diversity, words used to describe key values in modern societies, are no longer simple sound bites, but grounds for challenging the status quo in many ways; whether the gender pay gap in the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the rights of transgender people to be respected in their identified gender, or the exposure of unacceptable machismo conduct in the international film industry. We have already known for decades from the Whitehall Study,1 that having little control over your working environment is associated with poor health status, so receiving unfair pay compared with your peers or being sexually objectified or worse by your boss are unlikely to be associated with enhanced well-being.
