Correct Answer: 1, 4, 5
Biological determinants of health are typically innate individual characteristics that are less amenable to change by an individual's actions. Examples of biological determinants of health include genetics, ethnicity, sex at birth, and age. Although some biological characteristics can be changed, their influence on an individual's well-being and how they are perceived by other members of society typically requires societal change for acceptance. Social determinants of health include a wide range of factors such as income, employment and working conditions, housing, education, nutrition, social support, social exclusion, stress, and violence.
