Education, of course, is a major social determinant of health. More highly educated people tend to make more healthful lifestyle choices and, as they also tend to be richer, have greater access to health care.

(Early on, commissioners had considered adding the words Environmental Economic, Political, and Cultural to describe the determinants in their group's official title, but then figured that would make it too unwieldy...
...most Chinese media were celebrating Beijing's Olympics successes, a magazine named Southern Window - a highbrow biweekly with a circulation of 500,000 - broke from the pack.

His behind-the-scenes pictures--including the one this week of McCain barbecuing tenderloin--add a dimension of intimacy to the McCain family story. This week's striking cover portrait--like the one last week of Barack Obama--is by the great English photographer Platon, who usually chats with his subjects about pop music. Platon says McCain was "funny and cheeky" and said he was an Abba fan. As always, our coverage was orchestrated by assistant managing editor Michael Duffy...
...Afghanistan Your cover showed a soldier standing near a gun emplacement [July 28]. A better photo would have been the one in Rory Stewart's article, in which two Kabul residents are holding hands as they cross an incomplete bridge. That picture more closely represents what is likely to help Afghanistan achieve its rightful future of peace and stability: a helping hand. Piyoosh Kotecha, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA...
