The Whitehall Study found that what a person does for a living, or their occupation, was the most important factor in determining health outcomes. This finding challenged the widely held belief that access to healthcare and genetics were the most important determinants of health. The study found that people in higher-status occupations had better health outcomes than those in lower-status occupations, even after controlling for other factors such as smoking, exercise, and access to healthcare. Marital status and family health history were found to have some impact on health outcomes, but not as much as occupation.
