Health determinants are factors that influence the health status of individuals or populations. Epidemiologists study these determinants through:
- Risk Factor Analysis: Identifying and measuring the impact of various risk factors, such as smoking or lack of physical activity. - Social Determinants of Health: Examining how factors like socioeconomic status, education, and environment affect health outcomes. - Genetic Epidemiology: Investigating the role of genetic factors in health and disease.
