Social determinants of health two different disparities in disease of covid 19 in both colours of Americans

The increased prevalence of Coronavirus Disease among racial and ethnic minority communities in the United States has exacerbated racial and ethnic health inequalities. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic/Latinx people with COVID-19 are more likely to require hospitalisation, admission to an intensive care unit, and pass away than non-Hispanic White people. In these minority communities, there may be discrepancies in COVID-19-related severity and outcomes, which may be attributed to a number of variables, including the higher prevalence of cardiovascular and metabolic illnesses, which is covered in our companion review article. When compared to non-Hispanic White people, social determinants of health have a significant but frequently underappreciated role in explaining racial and ethnic-related health inequalities in non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic/Latinx people.
