Data related to social determinants of health captured in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Lau DT , Ahluwalia N , Fryar CD , Kaufman M , Arispe IE , Paulose-Ram R . Am J Public Health 2023 113 (12) 1290-1295 Health equity is defined as “attainment of the highest level of health for all people” and encompasses fair and just opportunities for everyone to be as healthy as possible.1 Health equity research examines the existence of health disparities and their underlying factors, which can be categorized into broad determinants of health, including genetics, behavior, environmental influences, medical care, and social factors.2 The last category, also known as social determinants of health (SDOH), includes social and structural factors, such as racism and discriminatory practices and policies.3 Healthy People 2030 categorizes SDOH into five domains4: education access and quality, economic stability, health care access and quality, social and community context, and neighborhood and built environment. Evidence shows that SDOH influence a wide range of health outcomes5,6 and nutritional status.7 Exposures to adverse SDOH, such as food deserts and unsafe neighborhoods, are inequitably experienced by subgroups that vary by race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other characteristics historically associated with discrimination or exclusion. Variation among groups in access to resources and their differential vulnerability to adverse exposures result in health disparities.8 |
