How do social determinants of health

How do social determinants of health, including socioeconomic status, education level, and access to healthcare, impact health disparities and outcomes among different population groups? Social determinants of health exert significant influence on individuals’ access to resources, opportunities, and healthcare services, leading to disparities in health outcomes across demographic groups. Marginalized populations, such as racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those living in poverty, face higher burdens of chronic diseases, mental health issues, and reduced life expectancy due to systemic inequalities. Addressing these disparities requires multifaceted approaches encompassing policy reforms, community-based interventions, and advocacy efforts to promote health equity and social justice.
