SDOH (Living Conditions) and <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>Social</strong> determinants can affect health in a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> ways:<br />
• SDOH provides the prerequisites for health, such<br />
as shelter, food, warmth, and the ability to<br />
participate in society;<br />
• SDOH can cause stress and anxiety which can<br />
damage people’s health;<br />
• SDOH limit peoples’ choices and militates<br />
against desirable changes in behaviour.<br />
