Socio-Cultural Issues in Health/Illness

Our general health status results from an interplay between numerous factors referred to as determinants of health. These determinants are categorized into biological, economic, behavioral, social, and cultural factors. Most people think that their health is solely influenced by genes and behaviors. But while genes and behaviors like what you eat, whether you smoke, or workout determine how healthy you are, social-cultural aspects of your life also have a large bearing on your health.Social-cultural determinants of health are the conditions and factors in our immediate environments, such as where we live, work, and socialize. Some common social factors that affect our health include education, economic status, incomes, housing, and healthcare access. Culture affects how we perceive health, illnesses, and other aspects of health. It also affects how we experience and express pain, where we seek health care, and the types of treatment we choose.Other social-cultural factors that influence health include religious values, sexual identification, family and social support, gender, occupation, and cultural values. Understanding how all these factors affect health enables us to take the right steps and make informed decisions towards improving our health and the health of the community at large.ReferencesChin, Vivien Yew Wong, and Noor Azlan Mohd Noor. “Sociocultural determinants of health and illness: A theoretical inquiry.” Geografia-Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 10, no. 1 (2017).Garcia-Alexander, Ginny, Hyeyoung Woo, and Matthew J.
