The conditions of people’s lives determine their health, and so blaming individuals for having poor health or crediting them with good health is inappropriate. Individuals are unlikely to be able to directly control many of the determinants of health. There are a lot of factors that influence our health: our income and social status, education, physical environment, social support networks, genetics, health services and gender. Higher income and social status are linked to better health. Low education levels, more stress and lower self-confidence are linked with poor health. Safe water and clean air, healthy workplaces, safe houses, communities and roads all contribute to better health. People in employment are healthier, particularly those who have more control over their working conditions. Greater support from families, friends and communities is linked to better health. Customs, traditions, and the beliefs of the family and community affect our health. Inheritance plays a part in determining lifespan, healthiness and the likelihood of developing certain illnesses. Balanced eating, keeping active, smoking, drinking, life’s stresses and challenges all affect health. Access to and usage of health services that prevent and treat disease, influence health. Men and women suffer from different types of diseases at different ages.
