Socioeconomic Health Determinants

Socioeconomic health determinants are factors related to one’s social and economic status that influence health outcomes. These include income, education, employment, and social support. For example, individuals with higher incomes often have better access to healthcare and healthier food options, which can lead to improved health. Similarly, education affects health literacy and choices. Communities with strong social networks may provide better support for healthy lifestyles. Overall, these determinants shape the conditions in which people live, work, and interact, ultimately impacting their overall health and well-being.
