The Marmot Review (2010) demonstrated how the wider social determinants of health directly affect health, and how they indirectly influence people’s risk-taking behaviour and their ability to maintain beneficial changes in their behaviour. For example, people who have good living conditions, are gainfully employed and have mental wellbeing, have more control over their lives and tend to make healthier lifestyle choices. A lack of such favourable conditions has the opposite effect (The Marmot Review 2010).
