Utah Public Health Indicator Based Information System Social determinants of health, according to HealthyPeople.gov, are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.

The definition can be applied to any demographic group, not just racial/ethnic minorities. Analysis by demographic characteristics also shows at what age certain diseases and conditions typically appear. https://ibis.health.utah.gov/ibisph-view/topic/SDOH.html
