English term or phrase: persistent and pervasive
In all countries, poorer people more often report bad health: on average, 14% of those in the lowest income quartile report being in bad health, compared with 4% of people in the highest quartile. In some countries, however 30% or more of those in the bottom income quartile suffer bad health; social inequalities in the experience of poor health and disability are persistent and pervasive.
