Question

Some social determinants of healthcare affecting families are a lack of income or education, poor physical environments, bad lifestyle choices, lack of friendships or relationships, and minimal healthcare access. Health outcomes are highly influenced by occupation, education level, and income. Lower economic status can affect access to healthcare, and lower education harms managing chronic diseases. Several health problems, including respiratory disorders, disease, and injuries, can be linked to poor living conditions, such as inadequate housing, dirty water, lack of resources, and pollution. Poor lifestyle decisions, such as food, exercise, substance use, and sexual behavior, significantly impact health. Socioeconomic factors could also impact access to knowledge and guidance regarding healthy behaviors. Strong relationships and support systems are important for mental and emotional health. A lack of relationships may increase stress and feelings of loneliness, which can negatively impact health. Health disparities can worsen because of delayed diagnosis and treatment due to limited access to healthcare. A lack of access to healthcare facilities, services, and health insurance can negatively impact health care for individuals.
