How is health affected by behaviors, economics, and social structure?

What will be an ideal response?


• Behaviors: Seeking preventive care, complying with providers, exercising, and having a healthy diet generally lead to good health, whereas lack of physical activity, smoking, and lack of routine checkups generally lead to diminished or poor health.
• Economics: Health insurance and financial resources increase utilization of routine health care services that will have a positive impact on health status, whereas the lack of health insurance will deter the utilization of health care and may lead to poor health status.
• Social structure: Religious and cultural beliefs may affect an individual’s attitude toward specific components of health care, which will then influence their utilization of those services.
