Social Determinants of Health
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH): A Brief Overview
There are many factors that influence our health. These factors are referred to as determinants of health. One kind of determinant of health is what is in our genes and our biology. Another determinant is our individual behavior, which include choices we make, such as smoking, exercise habits, or the types of foods we eat. A third determinant of our health is a wider set of influences (forces and systems) that shape the conditions of daily life.
