How do social determinants of health impact cardiovascular health?
Social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, education, and access to healthcare, profoundly influence cardiovascular health outcomes. Disparities in these determinants often result in unequal access to resources necessary for maintaining cardiovascular health, such as nutritious food, safe environments for physical activity, and quality medical care. Addressing these social determinants is vital for reducing health disparities and improving population health.
