Age, chance and prior health disease experience and exposure explain difference in health. Behavioral- the idea that individual choices, behaviors, practices and beliefs are key determinants of health- health differences arise from differences in lifestyle. Social determinants refers to processes that directly determine way of life for the individual such as: (where people are born, environmental conditions, where they work, their age that may determine their quality of life) Societal determinants are the economic, political, social and cultural structures and social relationships between groups that determine health patterns (social class in india, the caste system determines marital relations)
