Abstract

Social determinants of health two different disparities in disease of covid 19 in both colours of Americans

Sarha Ali*

The increased prevalence of Coronavirus Disease among racial and ethnic minority communities in the United States has exacerbated racial and ethnic health inequalities. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic/Latinx people with COVID-19 are more likely to require hospitalisation, admission to an intensive care unit, and pass away than non-Hispanic White people. In these minority communities, there may be discrepancies in COVID-19-related severity and outcomes, which may be attributed to a number of variables, including the higher prevalence of cardiovascular and metabolic illnesses, which is covered in our companion review article. When compared to non-Hispanic White people, social determinants of health have a significant but frequently underappreciated role in explaining racial and ethnic-related health inequalities in non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic/Latinx people.
