Study Notes
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
- Social determinants of health (SDOH) refer to the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes.
- The distribution of social determinants of health is shaped by various factors, including socioeconomic status, education, occupation, and environment.
World Health Organization (WHO) Perspective
- The WHO attributes the unequal distribution of health-damaging experiences to the unequal distribution of social determinants of health.
- According to the WHO, social determinants of health influence health more than health care or lifestyle choices.
- The WHO characterizes the unequal distribution of health-damaging experiences as unfair and avoidable.
Biology Fundamentals
- Biology is unified as a single, coherent field by the study of evolution.
- A major theme in biology is the explanation of the unity and diversity of life.
- Organisms are able to move, grow, and reproduce due to the presence of cells.
- Biologists study living organisms at multiple levels of organization, including molecular, cellular, organismal, and ecosystem levels.
- Biologists define subdisciplines within biology, such as botany, zoology, and microbiology, based on the type of organism or level of organization being studied.
