The social determinants of health refers to the socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental factors that influence individual and population health outcomes. These determinants include factors like education, employment, income, and housing, access to healthcare services, transportation, environment, and social support systems. Extensive research over the past few decades has established a strong link between social determinants and health inequalities across populations. Disadvantaged social groups tend to experience poorer health and lower life expectancy compared to more advantaged groups due to socioeconomic barriers that influence health behaviors and access to resources. Understanding the impact of social determinants is crucial for public health policymaking and implementing targeted interventions to promote health equity.
