SES Health Gradient - US and UK

This paper is really worth looking at. New work that examines the SES/Health gradient at both sides of the Atlantic. In Geary, we have compiled (i think) every available data-set with health and socio-economic information for the Irish case. It would be really instructive to begin to compare our findings to those presented in this paper

I don't know this literature well but my guess is that the interesting questions are (1) what component of SES is important: education, current income, permanent income, IQ etc? (2) is it causal or just correlation. Show me your instruments!
