Abstract

Social determinants of health (SDoH), the conditions in which people live, work, play, and pray, are recognized as the key contributors to disparities in cardiovascular health. These conditions contribute to the adoption and maintenance of health behaviors and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This chapter reviews the epidemiological evidence demonstrating associations between SDoH and cardiovascular health. Additionally, the assessment of social determinants and their influence on prevention of cardiovascular conditions and interventions that mitigate the effects of adverse SDoH are outlined.
