Health disparity is a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage.
Health equity is the absence of avoidable or remediable differences, allowing for the attainment of optimal health for all people . Health equity is achieved when everyone has the opportunity to attain their full health potential and no one is disadvantaged because of socially determined circumstances.
Health inequities are unfair health differences closely linked to social, environmental, or economic disadvantages that adversely affect specific groups of people.
