Title: Social Determinants of Health

Abstract: India appears to be in the middle of a transi tion in terms of disease burden from communicable to non-communicable disea ses. This is a consequence of the developing economy, increased life expect ancy, and improved healthcare. The increasing burden of heart disease and d iabetes brings lifestyle factors and health behaviors into sharper focus, g iven their influence on the incidence and course of these chronic diseases. Health behaviors are known to be influenced by both social structural vari ables as well as individual psychological variables. Work in this area both globally and in India will be reviewed. Health outcomes in terms of chroni c conditions, perceived health and aging will be discussed, with the goal o f planning more effective interventions to prevent and manage health condit ions.
