What is the importance of health determinants?

The social determinants of health are understood as the social conditions in which

people live and work, which impact health. It has also been phrased as “the social

characteristics in which life develops.” So the social determinants of health refer to both

the social context and the processes through which social conditions are translated into

consequences for health. The social determinants that are the object of public policies

are those that can be modified through effective interventions.

The social determinants of health establish the degree to which a person has the

physical, social and personal resources to identify and achieve their aspirations, satisfy

health, education, nutrition, employment and adapt to the environment.

them The Environment: The factors that disappear from man's environment decisively

influence his health and are, according to the results of the most recent research, those

with the greatest impact on it. In developed countries, the growth of the sector has been

notable in recent decades and has had a decisive influence on the health levels of the
population, although studies show that many greater efforts in these determinants would

no longer achieve the proportional effect on health. Expected.

In 1974, the Lalonde report grouped the determinants of health into 4 fields: human

biology, environment, lifestyle and health care systems.
