This is a story about health, but it's not about doctors or drugs. It's
about why some of us get sicker more often and die sooner and what
causes us to fall ill in the first place.
UNNATURAL CAUSES criss-crosses the country investigating the stories and
findings that are shaking up conventional notions about what makes us
healthy or sick. It turns out there's much more to our well-being than
genes, behaviors and medical care. The social, economic, and physical
environments in which we are born, live and work profoundly affect our
longevity and health - as much as smoking, diet and exercise.
The series sheds light on mounting evidence of how lack of access to
power and resources can get under the skin and disrupt human biology as
surely as germs and viruses. It also reveals a health gradient tied to
wealth: those at the top of the class pyramid average longer, healthier
lives, while those at the bottom are the most disempowered, get sicker
more often and die sooner. Most of us fall somewhere in between.
What's more, at every level, many communities of color are worse off
than their white counterparts. Researchers believe that chronic stress
over the life course may create an additional health burden for people
of color.
Compelling personal stories illustrate obstacles and inequities in
society but they also point the way to new possibilities, as individuals
and communities organize to gain control over their destinies and their
health.
As Harvard epidemiologist David Williams points out in the film,
investing in our schools, improving housing, integrating neighborhoods,
better jobs and wages, giving people more control over their work -
these are as much health strategies as disease prevention and education
efforts.
"Real people have problems with their lives as well as with
their organs. Those social problems affect their organs.
In order to improve public health, we need to improve society."
- Sir Michael Marmot, Chair, Commission on the Social Determinants of
Health
