As an analytical framework explaining how poor health is caused, social determinants of health theory has been quite successful eventually becoming the main overarching approach to explain health inequalities (Lundberg, 2020). Advocated by the World Health Organization, this approach recognizes the social factors as major drivers of uneven distribution of health and disease in a society and seeks to explore the specific ways in which each of social determinants (i.e., income, education, social support, employment, housing, access to health care services etc.) contributes to the extant disparities in health.ensocial determinants of healthhealththeories of health inequalitiesculturearticleArticle
