Although many people develop chronic health conditions during their life, some people are more vulnerable—and it isn’t their fault.
While lifestyle choices—like diet, physical activity, and sleep habits—affect your health, other considerations also play a part. These non-medical factors, called social determinants of health, are the conditions in which you are born, live, grow, learn, work, worship, and age.
