Study Finds Social Determinants of Health Can Match or Exceed Genetic Risk in Predicting Common Diseases
A new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai shows that social determinants of health--including environmental conditions, health behaviors, access to resources, and social well-being--can play an equally important or even greater role than genetics in predicting a person's risk of developing common diseases. Published in the June 22 online issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics [DOI: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2026.05.014], the study, titled "Integrating Social Determinants of Health and Genetic Risk in Disease Risk Models," examined how inherited genetic risk and social, behavioral, and environmental factors interact to influence disease risk across diverse populations.
