Health disparities: differences in health status that occur over population groups defined by specific characteristics. Inequities: avoidable and unnecessary inequalities in health that are deemed to be unfair to result from some form of injustice. Vulnerable subgroups: low income or education, aboriginals, immigrants, those with disabilities.
