This article published in the British Medical Journal discusses the impact of social and economic factors on health and mortality rates. The authors argue that social determinants such as income, education, and social support have a greater influence on health outcomes than individual risk factors alone. They highlight the disparities in health outcomes between different socioeconomic groups and emphasize the need for policy interventions that address these social determinants to improve overall population health. The article provides evidence and examples, highlighting the importance of understanding and addressing the social factors that contribute to health inequalities.
