摘要

An extensive body of evidence demonstrates that social and environmental factors are important to understand disease acquisition, distribution, and health inequalities. Regrettably, due to misuse and loss of theoretical integrity, the term has lost its meaning, raising the need to understand the underlying forces that give shape to these conditions in the first place. This chapter attempts to challenge our framing of determinants of social-spatial health and its “roots” through critical praxis. We conclude with a proposed analytical lens to use as a systematic theorization about what is or is not being seen, and how to interpret social-spatial health outcomes and its determinants.
