| dc.description.abstract | In order to understand the extent to which commercial determinants of health impact on the health of populations globally, the evidence of their proximal and distal influences must be considered. In addition to disease burden, the commercial determinants of health often have important influences on health equity. Collective opposition to tax increases, public ownership of essential amenities, or minimum environment or labor standards all lead to greater health inequity and poorer health outcomes. Such effects are often overlooked in research and scholarship on commercial determinants yet may constitute a significant proportion of overall harm. It is imperative that there be agreement on the extent to which these broader effects should be considered as those in the field seek to measure the distal effects of commercial activity throughout the world. This chapter summarizes what is known about the effects of large commercial actors on health and health equity. | |
