Social and environmental determinants of health inequities in childhood asthma

February 10, 2025 10:45 AM | AAC (Administrator)

Shared from the Lancet

Asthma represents a substantial health burden in childhood globally, with minoritised populations being disproportionately impacted. Recent literature has increasingly linked social determinants of health to disparities in asthma prevalence, severity, and outcome. As defined by WHO, social determinants of health are non-medical factors that include the conditions that people are “born, grow, work, live, and age” in, and the economic policies and systems that influence health and life expectancy.
