Social Determinants of Health
In aged care, when we are supporting older people we see effects on health from:
War experience
Lack of health care when younger
Lack of education and health literacy
Social/economic disadvantage
Social change – family, neighbourhoods

![Page 15: Aged care in the australian community](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55aa43fb1a28ab89658b45ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Trends
Older people living longer and being more educated than previous generations
Families less able/available to provide support
With longer life comes increased capacity to contribute to home and community but also increased risk of Dementia and chronic disease
