He is an acclaimed international expert on health inequities and is widely recognized as having pioneered the concept of ‘social determinants of health.’ For over 30 years he has led ground breaking research demonstrating how social standing affects health and life expectancy. In 2000, Sir Marmot was knighted by Her Majesty The Queen for his remarkable contribution to the field of epidemiology and health equity.
