Abstract
While not immediately relevant to the clinician, the quality of social relationships and relative income inequalities within a society are clear determinants of chronic disease outcomes. Mediating factors appear to be lifestyle behaviors like smoking, drinking, inadequate nutrition, inactivity, stress, depression, etc., considered throughout this book. Without awareness of these more distal drivers and involvement of the broader health system, lifestyle medicine will not fulfill its potential to mitigate chronic disease.
