"The social determinants of health (SDOH) are the economic and social conditions that influence individual and group differences in health status."
An exploration of the social factors that contribute to health outcomes, such as socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and environmental factors.
"They are the health promoting factors found in one's living and working conditions (such as the distribution of income, wealth, influence, and power)."
"Social determinants are the health promoting factors found in living and working conditions, rather than individual risk factors (such as behavioral risk factors or genetics)."
"The distributions of social determinants are often shaped by public policies that reflect prevailing political ideologies of the area."
"The World Health Organization says that 'the social determinants can be more important than health care or lifestyle choices in influencing health.'"
"This unequal distribution of health-damaging experiences is not in any sense a 'natural' phenomenon but is the result of a toxic combination of poor social policies, unfair economic arrangements [where the already well-off and healthy become even richer and the poor who are already more likely to be ill become even poorer], and bad politics."
