Description
Predrag Duric and four co-authors sort out what researchers actually mean by the ecological determinants of health, in a systematic review from twenty twenty-six. Political and commercial influences on health have drawn growing attention, possibly crowding out the ecological angle. Worse, ecological and environmental determinants are often blurred together, muddying research and policy.
Following standard review practice, the team gathered a hundred publications that define or unpack the ecological concept. Most came from wealthy countries, led by Canada, the United States, and Australia. Just over half were original studies; the rest were reviews, commentaries, and book chapters. Definitions and links to other determinants were woven into a narrative picture, with components grouped by theme.
