Health disparities are the differences in health outcomes between populations, particularly those that are historically medically under-resourced. One of the most common manifestations of health disparities is in the higher prevalence of lifestyle-based chronic diseases, exacerbated by disparities in the drivers of health, also known as social determinants of health (SDoH).
Issues such as – food insecurity, food deserts, transportation challenges, poverty, and others – heavily influence the health behavior choices available to people. The decisions they ultimately make can contribute to the development and progression of chronic disease.
