Health Determinants and Public Spending

Key Factors Influencing Health

  • In 1974, the Alond report categorized health determinants into four main areas: human biology (genetic factors and cellular aging), environment (environmental pollutants and psychosocial pressure), lifestyle choices (individual decisions regarding health), and healthcare systems (considering quantity, quality, accessibility, and cost).
  • Two years later, Alan Dever highlighted that public spending was misallocated; 90% of investment went to hospitals and direct care facilities. However, these investments had minimal impact on reducing mortality rates.
  • The report emphasized that lifestyle choices were significantly more effective in lowering mortality rates but only received a mere 1.5% of the total budget allocated for health.

Las líneas generales del informe Lalonde han servido de marco sobre el que se han desarrollado otros modelos. A partir de la Carta de Ottawa en 1986, la OMS centró el estudio de la salud en las condiciones sociales en que viven y trabajan las personas, es decir en los Determinantes Sociales de la Salud.
