Social Capital, Population Health
and Survival

As the author of this book, I have to start with the confession that I am not an epidemiologist, but a neuroscientist and a specialist in clinical neurology by my medical education. However, for the past three decades I have marveled and investigated the impact of social relations on population health. I was driven into this field of research via my personal experiences and arising curiosity after landing into a Swedish-speaking minority community in my own country.
