\u0905\u0928\u0941\u0938\u093e\u0930 <\/span>World Health Organization<\/span><\/a>, health goes beyond the absence of disease and encompasses physical, mental, and social wellness. There are many factors that come into play that can impact a person\u2019s health including environmental factors, diet, and access to health care. Not everyone has access to the same health care globally and more than <\/span>half of the world’s population lacks sufficient access<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social, economic, and environmental factors can negatively affect someone\u2019s overall health and life expectancy, and <\/span>many premature deaths globally could be prevented<\/span><\/a> with adequate health care. <\/span>Discrimination and racism have caused disparities<\/span><\/a> in access and quality of care. Poverty also plays a huge role in these factors, making it difficult for people to access a balanced diet, doctors, a healthy living environment, and so much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Progress on many of the <\/span>Sustainable Development Health Goals<\/span><\/a> have stalled or even declined because of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing costs for health care has taken a toll on maternal, child, and overall health globally. A nutritious, varied diet is essential for good health but the amount of <\/span>people facing food insecurity has doubled since 2020<\/span><\/a>. Immunizations and health check-ups have been disrupted, causing an <\/span>uptick in infectious disease<\/span><\/a>. Climate change and other environmental factors are also causing an increase in infectious disease emergence and spread.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mental health is another component of overall health. There are many factors, including someone\u2019s environment, that can contribute to or hinder someone\u2019s well-being. For example, <\/span>access to green space or nature<\/span><\/a> has positive impacts on a person\u2019s mental health. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a <\/span>rise in anxiety and depression<\/span><\/a>. Social isolation, loneliness, and overall stress have contributed to a decline in people\u2019s mental health globally, but especially among women, children, and young adults.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
