摘要

Few doubt that culture influences health. Examining that influence with precision, however, has been difficult. The concept of culture cannot be only a vague and general orienting concept that is invoked, but not really used, in explanation. It must be both theoretically and operationally precise. A special challenge in public health research is the development of a concept of culture that can link the aggregate and the individual. Culture certainly refers to social groups, yet not locating culture in the individual leads to insoluble ontological problems. Furthermore, an exclusive focus on culture as a descriptor of social groups runs the risk of reification, attributing uniform beliefs and practices to individuals and ignoring variation. Finally, without a focus on individuals, we cannot trace the steps by which culture shapes human biology. Therefore, a concept of culture that can help us to understand variation within social groups, as well as differences between social groups, is essential.
