Several factors contribute to location bias, including:
Socioeconomic Status (SES): Differences in income, education, and occupation can influence health outcomes and access to care. Environmental Exposures: Variations in pollution levels, climate, and living conditions can affect disease prevalence. Healthcare Access: Disparities in the availability and quality of healthcare services can lead to uneven health outcomes. Cultural Practices: Regional differences in diet, lifestyle, and healthcare-seeking behaviors can also contribute to location bias.
