MARTINEZ ABREU, Judit; CAPOTE FEMENIAS, José; BERMUDEZ FERRER, Gismersy  e  MARTINEZ GARCIA, Yudith. Social Determinants of Oral Health Status at Present. Medisur [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.4, pp. 562-569. ISSN 1727-897X.

The determinants of oral health must be closely related to the dynamic changes in society. This paper aims at reflecting on how the transformations in Cuban society might lead to conceptual changes in the analysis of the health situation. The need for more innovative models and methodologies applied to the Cuban context are discussed. The trends regarding social determinants will allow developing proper oral health intervention strategies in our context. Future epidemiological studies should pay special attention to social issues such as household income, family dynamics, gender equality, respect for diversity, employment, working conditions, social support networks and food security or proper diet.
