    La investigación empírica sobre los determinantes sociales de la salud ha puesto de manifiesto la existencia de factores sociales no médicos que afectan de forma significativa a la salud de las personas. Son, además, los responsables de diferencias evitables e injustas en el estatus de salud, tanto entre países como a nivel interno. El derecho a la salud, entendido como el derecho al disfrute del más alto nivel de salud física y mental, ha de ser pensado a la luz de los determinantes sociales de la salud, de forma especial para la reducción de las desigualdades injustas en salud. Estas desigualdades plantean una serie de cuestiones que han de afrontarse a partir de un intercambio entre ética y epidemiología que permita establecer criterios para combatirlas.

    Empirical research on social determinants of health conducted in recent years has unveiled the existence of non-medical social elements that significantly affect people’s health. They are also responsible for avoidable and unfair differences in health status among and within countries. The right to health, understood as the right to the highest attainable standard of health, must be reconsidered from the social determinants of health perspective, especially to reduce inequality in health. Health inequalities raise a series of challenges that should be faced through cooperation between ethics and epidemiology, to establish criteria to reduce them.
