Le concept d’Health equity

Why are some racial and ethnic minority groups disproportionately affected by COVID-19? The following links provide specific information about underlying health and social inequities that put many racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting sick, having more severe illness, and dying from COVID-19.
“Health equity” means that everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible. Equitable opportunity includes equal access to and distribution of resources. When policies, programs, and systems that support health are equitable, poor health outcomes can be reduced, health disparities can be prevented, and the whole of society benefits.
Some racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, play, and worship affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes, such as COVID-19 infection, severe illness, and death. These conditions are known as social determinants of health. Long-standing inequities in social determinants of health that affect these groups, such as poverty and healthcare access, are interrelated and influence a wide range of health and quality-of-life risks and outcomes. Because of these inequities, people from some racial and ethnic minority groups are less likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19 than non-Hispanic White people.
Lors de la deuxième vague
Facteurs de risques
Enfin, pendant la deuxième vague comme lors de la première, une proportion importante de patients présentant une forme sévère de Covid-19 vivait dans une commune défavorisée. Pour ces patients, le risque de décès pour Covid-19 durant la 2ème vague était comme lors de la première vague 1,4 fois plus élevé que pour ceux issus des communes les moins défavorisées.
