Social determinants of health

Social determinants of health are things that can affect a person's health, like where they live, how much money they have, and the food available to them. These things can be directly linked to how healthy a person is. For example, people who live in areas with more access to healthy food, or who have more money, are often healthier than people who don't have these things.
