Abstract
Summary: This study found that mortality data for infectious diseases did not provide much support for Wallerstein's theoretical assertions. But the mortality data for chronic disease and erratic violence provided strong support for Wallerstein's assertions. The data on life span provided some support for Wallerstein's first assertion, but not for his second. Overall, the findings generally support Wallerstein's theories and suggest ways that health-related inequalities might be addressed.
