ABSTRACT
Brain health is the complete functioning of the brain across the life course to support the full physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being and quality of life of an individual towards attaining and maintaining the epitome of a meaningful, impactful, purposeful, and productive life. The determinants of brain health are complex and include at least in part, non-traditional risks such as interactions among social, economic, physical, and internal factors (e.g., emotions and adaptations to changing life experiences), and external factors such as environment, geography, and climate change. Thus, social determinants of health (e.g., where we work, live, and play) are those non-medical factors that influence health outcomes, and as non-traditional cardiovascular factors, may influence the development of traditional cardiovascular risks. Examples of the non-traditional cardiovascular factors include environmental stressors (e.g., climate change, air pollution), and psychological and physical abuse. In this article, we provide a discussion of social determinants of health and other non-traditional cardiovascular risks as they relate to brain health.
