ABSTRACT

Social inequalities bring about effects that can be measured up in health losses. The social determinants in health such as gender, ethnics, incomes and education are beyond doubts the leading basis for health inequalities. Diabetes mellitus, one of the main global health problems owing to its epidemic behavior in the last few decades, is a disease heavily affected by social elements. The present paper was aimed at describing the influence of the various social determinants over the risk of developing diabetes mellitus and over the disease prognosis. It covered general conceptual aspects about equity in health and delved into how each of the social determinants has an impact on the susceptibility to developing diabetes mellitus, on the access to quality health services, and consequently, on the health outcomes. Moreover, it included some elements that evidence the peculiarities of this topic within the domestic context. It was concluded that social inequalities have a direct effect on the present situation of diabetes mellitus worldwide, so knowing its implications becomes indispensable to direct the drawing up of prevention and control strategies programs for this disease.
