Abstract: Health equity is a core principle of public health and social justice, aimed at eliminating unjust, avoidable, and systematically produced differences in health outcomes among population groups. These inequities stem from social determinants of health, including income, education, housing, environment, access to health services, and structural racism, which shape health opportunities across the life course. Understanding and measuring these disparities through equity stratifiers are essential to inform effective public policies. Therefore, promoting health equity requires intersectoral actions, social participation, and structural policy adjustments, representing not only a technical goal but an ethical and political imperative to advance social justice.
