Tóm tắt : | Health is profoundly affected by certain conditions commonly referred to as the “socialdeterminants of health”.1, 2 These factors relate to the physical, social and economic environmentsin which people live, and they affect health by impacting on peoples’ living circumstances andquality of life. These conditions include income or wealth and its distribution, early childhoodcare, education, employment and working conditions, unemployment and employment security,food security, health-care services, housing, social exclusion, culture, religion, and social safetynets.2. There is now ample evidence that policy, action and leadership to address the key socialdeterminants can improve health.3 Investments in the basic social determinants of health willprofoundly improve the health of populations most exposed to health-threatening conditions;these populations include the poor, the marginalized, and those people excluded fromparticipation in certain aspects of society because of their living conditions. Some countries (suchas Costa Rica, Cuba and Sri Lanka) have made concerted efforts to address the socialdeterminants of health, and they have achieved high levels of health status despite their lowincome status.4 Regional Committee for Africa Fifty-seventh SessionBrazzaville, Republic of Congo, 27–31 August 2007, Provisional agenda item 7.11 |
