| Scope note: | Theoretical scheme that remains a constant of paradigmatic identification associated with the notion that health and disease phenomena are both biological and social phenomena, in addition to the fact that, to understand the health conditions of populations, it is necessary to understand the dynamics and processes that structure human societies. The idea of social determination of health therefore presupposes the discussion about the relationships between the individual and society (and the nature of society itself) but, in a certain way, transcends it by placing the issue of the historicity of the processes and the way of enhancement of the phenomena as a core issue.
