How Do Social Determinants of Health Impact Quality of Life?
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age. They significantly impact QoL and include factors such as socioeconomic status, education, neighborhood and physical environment, employment, and social support networks. Epidemiologists study these determinants to understand their influence on health outcomes and to develop interventions that address these underlying causes of health disparities.
