Social determinants of health are the economic and social conditions that affects the individuals health status . These are some of the important social determinants :-

- income and social status

- social support network

- education and literacy

- working environment

- physical environment

- social environment

- personal health practices

- gender

- culture

All these social determinants play vital role in an individual's life . They are directly connected to the human being as one of their needs . Their fulfillment is must and it affects TS the individual physically , mentally and socially .

Not meeting any of the determinants mentioned above is a matter of issue . It needs to be evaluated as it leads to stress. One of the common causes of stress in an individual's life is because of not meeting the demands or needs . If needs are not met like for example the income of an individual is less and he or his family members has some health issues then it leads to stress . Stress because he is not able to get his family members treated due to financial crunches. It develops stress ,tension and a sense of low self esteem . Whenever there is stress it first affects the behaviour of the individual ,they behave with others in a tensed and rude manner and it reflects in them that they have some sort of stress or tension .

So, social determinants play a very important role is shaping the behaviour as it reduces stress . Stress is reduced or nil because there are no extreme conditions which can lead to stress because every need and social determinants are fulfilled at its particular time period so that an individual can live a stress free life ahead . For example it's the same way as what our parents do for us ,they provide all the needs and make us well developed successful individual with the motive that we can lead a good life ahead ,so that we don't have any tensions , weakness , drawbacks etc . If the child was not grown with all needs fulfilled he might get attracted to things which provide them his needs like drugs and alcohol etc .

When we are provided with all the core determinants in our life it leads to a happy and prosperous life and there is no stress , hence the individuals behaviour is also well maintained and managed.
