Health disparities exist due to a combination of factors including but not limited to:
1. Socioeconomic Status: People with lower income and education levels often have less access to healthcare services and healthy lifestyles. 2. Racial and Ethnic Discrimination: Systemic racism and discrimination can limit opportunities for health-promoting activities and access to healthcare. 3. Geographical Location: Rural areas often have fewer healthcare facilities and resources compared to urban areas. 4. Cultural Barriers: Language and cultural differences can affect the ability of individuals to seek and receive proper healthcare.
