Abstract
Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is characterized by the interactions among the metabolic risk factors, chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Social determinants of health (SDOH) include society, economy, environment, community and psychological factors, which correspond with cardiovascular and kidney events of the CKM population. SDOH are integral components throughout the entire spectrum of CKM, acting as key contributors from initial preventative measures to ongoing management, as well as in the formulation of health policies and the conduct of research, serving as vital instruments in the pursuit of health equity and the improvement of health standards. This article summarizes the important role of SDOH in CKM syndrome and explores the prospects of comprehensive management based on SDOH. It is hoped that these insights will offer valuable contributions to improving CKM-related issues and enhancing health standards.
