Answer: Health disparities

-------

"Disparities" by itself means "a great difference." The phrase "health disparities" can translate literally to "great differences in health."

What it exactly is, is a difference in the health statuses of many people. Some people are more likely to have certain diseases due to the reasons listed above: social factors (income), demographics (race, ethnicity), geographic elements (weather, living conditions), and others.
