Health disparities are preventable differences in health outcomes and access to care that are closely linked to social, economic, and environmental disadvantage, often affecting racial and ethnic minorities, low-income populations, and rural communities. Researchers and public health practitioners study these gaps to understand root causes like unequal access to insurance, housing, and nutrition, and to design targeted interventions. Addressing health disparities is a core focus of public health policy and epidemiology.
