Population Health Disparities from a Population Perspective

The National Institute of Health sponsored Centers for population health and health disparities are the first federal initiatives to support trans disciplinary multilevel research on the determinants of health(NAP,2017).  The determinants were first created as a model for determining factors that affect a persons health , the model conceders environmental , and institutional factors surrounding the environment that interrelate  in a distal and proximal fashion which may also affect health on a long term and short term bases.  A renewed concern with social factors has emerged in global public health , spearheaded by the World Health Organization Commission on social determinants of health. The coming decade may see significant changes in global health and should draw lessons from the past . The Commission  on social determinants of health can acquire political support by establishing collaborative relationships with policy makers in partner countries . This type of collaborative relationship can be produced through transnational research to modernize  determinants of health  across the globe and integrate genetic factors that play a significant role in phenotype development  providing a brood perspective in   distal and proximal determinants to restore environmental health , provide precision medicine , and to implement socioeconomic policies that address critical health issues ; such as (1) diabetes epidemic , opioid abuse epidemic , injuries , and work force health .  The current model being used can be found in this contribution highlighted by factor s that in this professionals onion might benefit from a bit of codification.
