The representation shows five concentric circles. The first inner circle represents age, sex, and

constitutional factors. The second circle represents individual lifestyle factors. The third circle

represents social and community networks. The fourth circle represents living and working

conditions that include unemployment, water and sanitation, healthcare services, housing, work,

education, and agriculture and food production. The fifth circle represents general socioeconomic,

cultural, and environmental conditions.

1. What effect do social conditions have on their health?

2. What does the term determinant of health mean?

3. How can inequities in health be assessed?
